The explanation for the resurgence of my Through the Viewfinder habit became apparent this weekend. A few months ago Stuart, aka Harri B on Flickr, asked me and a couple of other people he knew from there to photograph his wedding to Michelle. Since Stu was the guy who first introduced TTV to the West Midlands after which I became seriously hooked on the technique it was a given that I’d be dusting off the contraption. Here’s the set which works rather well as a slideshow.
I’m particularly pleased with this one, capturing Stu dancing the dance of wedded joy.
I’ve already had another request to shoot a wedding in this way so may have stumbled upon a niche here. Not that I’ll be worrying my professional wedding photographer chums too much but if you fancy some fucked-up, blown-out, dirty square photos of your special day then do get in touch.
My stuff’s going up (slowly) on this tag http://www.flickr.com/photos/msmurtagh/tags/harribandshellgethitched/
It was a really fun day and I think the TTV shots capture that in a way that ‘normal’ wedding photography never does.
Would make a great little book too.
A great little book is on its way. Been playing with http://www.blurb.com/
I’m loving those shots, so cool and low-fi looking.
The Blurb books are really nice, their software’s a bit clunky though. If you’re going to do one, I’d design it in Indesign then import it into Booksmart as full page tifs
