Paul Rogers of Rogers Pictures is a UK documentary wedding photographer. Before wedding photography, Paul was a photojournalist with The Times newspaper in London where he photographed a full range of subjects – from royalty, celebrities and world leaders to war zones and natural disasters worldwide.

His Instagram bio sums up his current approach nicely… “UK and Europe based Documentary Wedding photographer working with relaxed couples who love photography but don't want a photoshoot on their wedding day.”

This episode of the Photography Xperiment podcast is sponsored by the super talented digital editors at The Image Salon… more about them in the show.

I’ve made all those mistakes out there and you know, you don’t intend to make them the second time; or there’s maybe a second time but not a third – Paul Rogers

When you are confident in what you’re doing you can get to the point of shooting the images that you know you need a lot quicker than when you’re faffing around, experimenting, trying something out that doesn’t work and you’re not quite sure you end up overshooting – Paul Rogers

I knew that I needed to do something in the field of documentary photography to do the kind of work that I wanted to do – Paul Rogers

Things change and this is who I am now – Paul Rogers

We will never stop learning and I just want to push myself every single wedding. Every year, I want to get better at everything – Paul Rogers

Thanks again for listening to the show and thanks to Paul for coming on and experimenting with a new and different format for this photography podcast.

Also, a big thanks to The Image Salon for sponsoring this episode of the podcast and making the show possible. If outsourcing your editing is something you're currently doing or considering, please put the guys at The Image Salon to the test… I think you'll be blown away!

If you immerse yourself around people that have a philosophy in the way that they work it could certainly rub off on you and it can change the way you start looking at the world and that’s just the beginning. It’s now up to you to develop that and to look for other influences and to develop your style and to find out what works and what doesn’t – Paul Rogers
