Thinking Outside The Box - part 3 of 1 2 3 4

Published 01/11/2010

A few years ago I was shooting a wedding and needed to get some height for the big group shots, the venue had little on offer so I acted quickly to my environment and climbed a tree. The wedding party were amazed. They couldn't believe the effort I had gone to. After the wedding I had a sudden realisation that I could be on to something. Was I really just another photographer or was I an artist with my own vision and just happened to use a camera to capture that it?

I now have my own rules that I try to follow on every shoot, I just want to show the viewer a world from a different perspective. I try to show the viewer something they haven't seen before.

I climb trees, walls, buildings just about anything to get something different in my viewfinder.

I have also discovered that the experience is the main event, the photo shoot. If they have a fun experience on the shoot it doesn't really matter how the photos turn out because they just remind them of that fun experience they had.
