The Photographer

Hi. My name is Joseph and my favourite colour is green.

If my memory serves me right, I took my first photograph when I was five years old in the south of France on a rainy day. I remember that the only thing I was worried about at the time was shaking the camera, and how odd that 20 odd years down the road, it’s still the same thing I worry about today.

In between those twenty odd years, life has passed by faster than I could ever have imagined, and yet, like any person who has sat down in the middle of their room on a lazy Sunday afternoon and glanced through an old photo album, memories are abundant and recalled through one artform, and one form only. The simple photograph. It is this that has driven me to love photography so abundantly, whether it was with my father’s SLR camera to my first digital compact, I have always wanted to push the boundaries further, to see what no one else does. The images that I want to capture I hope will be images that will last a lifetime, encapsulating the emotions, the feelings, the memories in a single frame.

In this sense, that is why the wedding is such a perfect subject for photography. From the emotions, to the occasion, the photograph at a wedding is one that will be treasured for ever, ’til death do us part, and even thereafter.

My name is Joseph, and I am a photographer. Let’s capture some moments.
