WEDDING 365 PROJECT – Daily choice of a documentary wedding photograph selected from my catalogue, collated from time spent documenting these unique events. This one from Lains Barn.
SHOOTING DATA: 5DMk2, 24mm, F1.4, 1/40, ISO 1600, under by two thirds.
ETHOS: Prior to working with the amazing 1.4 L series 24mm lens, this kind of close proximity documentary work would not have been such a comfortable experience in conditions where light is at a real premium. Believe me, there is little light in available terms within this location of the barn. I’ve chosen this picture today because it’s a support image within the wedding and I want to share more of my work than simply proud signature shots. I like the nature of this image. I like the depth, the richness of tones. There’s not a complex story to this, though I like the female guest’s expression, seemingly sympathising with the conversation on going. I like the texture of the building. I even like the male guest, fingers illuminated by his iPhone, sending a text or something, perhaps a tweet; “Why is the man to the right taking my photograph #iambeingphotographed.”
