Against the Odds - part 2 of 1 2 3 4

Published 01/08/2013

A steady stream of awards came David's way over the years, and he gradually developed a style that was distinctive and very attuned to the needs of his wedding and portrait clientele.

"Most of my clients are very happy with my wedding coverage because they realise I include a variety of photos," he says, "and I specialise in providing a more unusual aspect of wedding photography. I always look for something different: it might be location or background I choose, or the kind of light that I work with. When a client makes a booking with me I always ask them what kind of poses they would like, and I can show them my portfolio and go through with them to see what they would like me to do. Once I've fully understood what my client wants I then plan the locations to use and the poses that I will set up prior to their big day."

Communicating with the client

Naturally the obvious drawback to the outsider would appear to be the fact that David is not able to have a conversation in the normal way during the course of the day, and this would appear to many to be a serious obstacle. However, the fact that David has lived with his disability since birth ensures that he has a series of strategies in place that help him to deal with the issue, and providing his client is willing to trust him and in the quality of his photography there has never been any reason why his coverage would not be as comprehensive and often better than that provided by others who have all their faculties.
