I captured this frame during Pam’s sisters speech during the reception. Yes, I got lots of the standard type shots you’d expect but this is my favourite.
Sometimes it’s the little details that are more important than what’s actually going on… the way they’re almost secretly holding hands and comforting each other during an emotional part of the speech.
Check out the rest of Pam + Alex’s wedding at 99 Sudbury.
Nice work Scott!
I love this image from Alice and Greg’s wedding up in Georgian bay. One of the things that I’ve really been trying to work into my pictures is the concept of layering… essentially telling more than one story in a single image. The little girl having her picture taken, the bride having her picture taken, grandma with her new grandson… Sometimes you want to simplify your images to zero right in on the subject, other times you want to give the viewer a chance to wander and discover things.

Magnum Photos. Cartier-Bresson, Capa, McCurry… legends in the photography world.
Back in May I was privileged and lucky enough to spend a week at the Magnum Photography Workshop in Toronto that was part of the CONTACT Photography Festival.
My luck continued when I was accepted into David Alan Harvey‘s group, one of my favourite photographers of all time. David is a legend in the photography world, having travelled the globe and shot over 40 assignments for National Geographic and published stunning books like Cuba and Divided Soul.
The workshop was different from others I’ve taken in that we weren’t told what to shoot, we were just expected to hit the streets and find something… anything to shoot. We were on our own to find a story.
I spent a couple days wandering Kensington and Chinatown looking for my story. Eventually it sort of just gelled into street performers and in particular showing them isolated from the crowds they spend their days entertaining.
We started each morning with a critique of the previous days work. David is brutally honest with his critiques but that’s how you learn.
And learn I did. This is one of those workshops that will impact my photography for the rest of my life. The passion and skill of all the Magnum photographers has inspired me beyond words.
I’d like to thank David, as well as everyone in my group, for an amazing week.
Here are some of my favourite images from the week.
Scott.
