We are very excited to be joined by Wedding Photographer and creator of This is Reportage (TIR) Alan Law as one of our expert judges this year. Based in Cornwall UK, Alan specialise in the documentary/reportage aspect of weddings because that’s what he loves to capture: The real, unscripted moments. His passion for this led him to create ‘This is Reportage‘ – a world-wide community of photographers celebrating the art and skill of documentary wedding photography. Wedding are all about moments; and capturing these moments is what drives him.
What will make an entry stand out to you this year?
Something that grabs me, for whatever reason that may be. An incredibly emotional moment; gorgeous light; an amazing composition. All those things are important, but moment is the most important for me. But also seeing something captured that we all see at every wedding, but captured in a totally unique and different way.
What do you love most about judging the IWPOTY Awards?
How many years you been a wedding photographer and approximately how many weddings do you photograph each year. How many frames would you shoot during a session and how many do you deliver?
What’s one myth about wedding photography you’d love to bust?
How do you stay creatively inspired year after year?
