He likes to shoot black and white, in a photojournalistic/documentary style.
I've just read his 20 year take on history of wedding photography.
Jeff Ascough: '... three different examples of what I have always felt to be important in my work; light, composition, and storytelling.'
Here's a reason why i'm concerned about choosing the right photographer...
'When the digital tsunami hit the industry six years ago, I felt that wedding photography had started to polarise. In one corner, fueled by low cost digital capture, a glut of information on countless internet forums, and no barriers to entry into the industry, many amateur photographers took up the mantle of wedding photographer. For some, the lack of experience and quality of product was unimportant as shoot and burn became popular; DVD's of thousands of poor snapshot images were touted as being the preferred product of many a newcomer wedding photographer. Unfortunately, over the past year or so, recession has forced people into looking at ways of supplementing their income. Wedding photography is one way many can do this, and once again we are seeing a phenomenal amount of new, unskilled and totally inexperienced photographers appearing in the industry. I am beginning to wonder if we are reaching the point where there are more wedding photographers in the UK than weddings to photograph!!'
One thing I would like to do is keep this in mind when decorating the barn........we must make the most of the light, composition, and the story we want to tell.
