About the Guest:
Ian Weldon is a photographer from the North of England predominantly photographing weddings, whilst also working on long term documentary projects and commercial assignments.
With only a brief period of studying photography at a local college, Ian is primarily self-taught. He is a previous lecturer on photography history and has delivered a wide range of photography programs both academically and privately.
His long term project, 'I Am Not A Wedding Photographer', was exhibited at the Martin Parr Foundation in Bristol, and was featured worldwide in major publications including The Guardian, The British Journal of Photography, Vice, Creative Review, BBC World News and CNN to name but a few, with I-D France billing him as, ‘le photographe de mariage le plus cool du monde’. (The coolest wedding photographer in the world)
This was also the first exhibition of wedding photography within a fine art context in the UK. Ever
A book of the work, with the same title, was co-published by RRB Books and The Martin Parr Foundation.
