Adam has a conversation with Ian Weldon (ianweldon.com) about his career as "not a wedding photographer".

Ian has been feted as the “coolest wedding photographer in the world”, even while he continues to protest that he's not a wedding photographer at all. His photographs are recognized by their candid, documentary style. He has shot more than 150 weddings in the UK and abroad. In 2019, Ian had a solo exhibition at the Martin Parr Foundation in Bristol, where his work is also now held in the permanent collection. This show was the first exhibition of wedding photography in a fine art gallery in the UK. It also coincided with the publication of his monograph entitled 'I Am Not A Wedding Photographer'. His photography has been featured in numerous publications and websites worldwide (BBC World News, CNN, The Guardian, The Observer, Creative Review, i-D etc...) and he is also author and host of the popular and influential Outerfocus Podcast which explores the work of other photographers across all different fields of the genre.

Ian Weldon is not a wedding photographer. But he does shoot weddings. He recently became the first photographer ever (probably) to have an exhibition of wedding photography in a ‘proper’ gallery, with a show at the Martin Parr Foundation in Bristol, England. He also produced a book to coincide with the show, publishhed by RRB PhotoBooks and entitiled, of course, “I Am Not a Wedding Photographer.” Partly as a result of the show, Ian has subsequently had a lot of press coverage in major outlets including the BBC, The Guardian, i-D.Vice, Creative Review, Huck Magazine and It’s Nice That. He has 18.2K folllowers on Instagram. Which is a lot. Ian also hosts and produces the second best UK-based photography podcast: Outerfocus, in which he talks to photographers about their work and whatever else comes up. (My appearance, for what it’s worth, is here.) On episode 113, Ian discusses, among other things: His solo show at the Martin Parr Foundation Being taken into care as a young child His time in the army… …and going a bit nuts on drink and drugs after leaving How photography saved his life Getting into shooting weddings How his ethos evolved His podcast, Outerfocus Being offered a very personal commission from Martin Parr Referenced: Martin Parr (Ep 91.) Helen Levitt Bruce Gilden (Ep 84.) Richard Avedon Don McCullin Website | Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | Podcast “Photographing granny on the dance floor with two pints of lager in her hand purposely is different to recognising something that you connect with and photograph. And that’s where there’ll always be a difference with what I do. I have no commercial interest at all with weddings... I’m not running a business with wedding photography... I just want people to get what I do and when people get that, then great, we’re on.”

Ian Weldon’s conversation on the Way Up North podcast hosted by Erin Bishop. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week's guest is Ian Weldon! Ian takes an uncompromising approach to his photography, and that unique approach to his art hasn't gone unnoticed. He's been included as one of the Best 100 Wedding Photographers in the World in both 2015 and 2016 and was named one of SLR Lounge's Best 150 International Wedding Photographers in 2016. Today's guest has a cool accent, so I don't feel like I need to say much more in terms of why you should listen to this episode. However, I will say that my main takeaway from talking with Ian is that you shouldn't be afraid to make the kind of work that you want to make. Ian's style is unconventional in the wedding world, and that style might not resonate with a lot of people - but for the people that it does click with he's exactly what they're looking for.     Resources Mentioned Ian Weldon Photography Ian Weldon Photography Facebook Outer Focus Blog Fujifilm X-Pro2 Professional Mirrorless Camera Sponsors Tave Studio Manager - Use code "SIXFIGUREPHOTOGRAPHY" to get 20% off your first year + an extra month added to your free trial if you use my referral link Miller's Professional Imaging - Use code "SFP25" to get 25% off signature albums
