Atkins Labcast

This week Paul speaks with one of Australia’s most awarded wedding photographers, Kelly Tunney. Kelly has been on the forefront of the change to a more connected, human approach to photographing weddings. Her relationship with her subjects is paramount, and the resulting work is stellar. Kelly has been on a roller coaster these last two years, Paul and Kelly discuss the ride and what it takes to reinvigorate yourself.
