James et Ingrid Christies sont des amis de 30 ans(enfin presque), qui tiennent le RAN un blog de news sur La Reunion en anglais, dans le cadre de leur entreprise de formation d’anglais « Anglophonic« .

Ingrid a eu la gentillesse de faire un interview sur mon approche de la photographie de mariage.

Le texte en entier et donc en anglais :

“I’m passionate about life.”An affirmation which wonderfully defines David Huitorel’s work. This month I met him for you. He is a photographer specialized in weddings or should I say, an Artist…? David says that he has always been in touch with artistic activities : sculpting, painting…. But, one day without knowing it, he found his Grail : using photography as a way to get to meet people and share a bit of their life. ”I like to meet people, but what I like most is to share a part of their history.“
Before the wedding day, David likes to take the time to know the couple. During their first meeting, his objective
is to learn more aboisutotlheeairnstory, because as David says : “The only way for me to make nice pictures is to be moved by them, by their story. What I want to show in my pictures is only the truth.” The second meeting is a photo-shoot a few days before the wedding, in a place the couple have chosen. A good way for him to share
an imntoimeantet omfotmheinr t and to get the gist of their life. Then when the big day arrives, David is there, wandering around, sharing moments, events, looking for the truth… The type of photography David does is very common on the west coast of the United States, especially in California. This trend started with a new way of rethinking the wedding. More and more couple want this day to be very special, a reflection of themselves, a reflection of their story and feelings and absolutely not a copy of their parents’ wedding. It’s not the traditional way of shooting weddings but a new trend using the technique of photo reporters, where what the picture tells is more important than the beauty of the photo. And the best way to understand what I mean is to go to David’s website : www.davidhuitorel.com
