Culture, Connection and Motion in Photography
<p>In this episode I talk with Yazmine May, a wedding photographer whose work is grounded in human connection, cultural traditions, and a distinctly film-forward approach. We unpack how Yazmine moved from a decade in finance into photography and how motherhood, COVID, and a camera that had been sitting unused became the catalyst.</p><p>A big thread running through the conversation is <i>feeling over settings</i>. <br /><br />Show Notes - <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.bytomw.com/podcast/culture-connection-and-motion-in-photography" target="_blank">www.bytomw.com/podcast/culture-connection-and-motion-in-photography</a></p><p><br />00:00 Introduction to Creative Photography<br />08:14 Capturing Human Connection at Weddings<br />14:34 Film vs. Digital: A Photographer's Choice<br />20:50 Film Stocks and Their Impact on Aesthetics<br />25:54 The Emotional Connection to Film<br />32:04 Creativity Under Pressure<br />40:15 Business Growth and Client Relationships<br />47:12 Inspiring Figures in Photography<br /><br />Resources<br /><br />Yazmine May Photography - <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/yazminemay/" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/yazminemay/</a><br />Yazmine May’s Website - <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.yazminemay.com" target="_blank">https://www.yazminemay.com</a><br />Labyrinth London - <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://labyrinth.co.uk" target="_blank">https://labyrinth.co.uk</a><br />South Sun Lab - <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://southsun.co.uk" target="_blank">https://southsun.co.uk</a><br /></p>

Celebrity Portraits and Honesty in Weddings
<p>Today I am joined by London-based photographer <b>Sophie Davidson</b>, whose work spans author portraits, musician portraits, and editorial commissions. In recent years, weddings have become a significant part of Sophie’s practice, and they have approached that shift with the same guiding idea that runs through all their portrait work: make the person in front of the camera feel comfortable enough to be themselves.</p><p>We talk about Sophie’s reactive approach to portrait sessions, and why they avoid over-planning in favor of responding to the person in front of them. A simple but powerful tactic is asking someone which side of their face they prefer. It signals that the point of the session is not to “create” a version of them, but to make them look good in the way they already understand themselves.<br /><br />Show Notes <br /><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.bytomw.com/podcast/celebrity-portraits-and-honesty-in-weddings" target="_blank">www.bytomw.com/podcast/celebrity-portraits-and-honesty-in-weddings</a><br />Other Links<br />Sophie Davidson on Instagram - <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.instagram.com/sophiedavidson" target="_blank">www.instagram.com/sophiedavidson</a></p><p>Sophie Davidson Editorial website - <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.sophie-davidson.co.uk" target="_blank">www.sophie-davidson.co.uk</a></p><p>Sophie Davidson’s Wedding Work on Instagram -<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://instagram.com/sophiedavidsonweddings" target="_blank">instagram.com/sophiedavidsonweddings</a></p><p>Sophie Davidson’s Wedding Work Website - <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.sophie-davidson-weddings.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.sophie-davidson-weddings.co.uk/</a></p><p>Jürgen Teller (Photographer) - <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.juergenteller.co.uk" target="_blank">www.juergenteller.co.uk</a></p><p>Wolfgang Tillmans (Photographer) - <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.tillmans.co.uk" target="_blank">www.tillmans.co.uk</a></p><p></p>

From Fashion Designer to Vogue Photographer
<p>During the episode, we discuss how Charlotte transitioned from a successful career as a fashion designer to wedding photographer, her unconventional journey through the creative industries, and her commitment to shooting almost exclusively on film in an increasingly digital landscape.<br><br>Full Show Notes - <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://www.bytomw.com/podcast/from-fashion-designer-to-photographer">http://www.bytomw.com/podcast/from-fashion-designer-to-photographer</a></p><p></p><p>Charlotte grew up in Paris and came to the UK at 15 to learn English. She studied fashion design and ran her own fashion brand from ages 23 to 30, getting picked up by Opening Ceremony and selling internationally. After leaving fashion due to sustainability concerns and unsustainable business costs, she transitioned to running a manufacturing studio for designer brands and costume work. A pivotal moment came after a friend's funeral in Scotland, when working with a career coach helped her realize she needed more creative freedom. Initially resistant to wedding photography—seeing it as "cheesy"—she discovered Naomi Koenig's film documentary work, which completely reframed what wedding photography could be.</p><p></p><p>Her entry into wedding photography was organic. She shot her first wedding as a guest at her best friend's sister's wedding, and the experience rekindled her excitement about life and forced her to be truly present. Her early projects gained traction thanks to referrals from friends in the creative industry, leading to multiple features in <i>Vogue.</i> She has just completed her first full season and is now heading into her second.</p>
