For my wedding photography, I am working for my legacy – Franck Boutonnet

If you have any questions that I missed, a specific question you’d like to ask Franck or if you just want to say thanks for coming on the show, feel free to add them below too.

I am sure 100% that one day, wedding photography is going to be considered as fashion photography, as portrait photography, as war photography. It’s going to be considered as an art in itself – Franck Boutonnet

I’m not thinking about this legacy and all these things. I’m just, in the moment, doing what I want to do now. I really want to be appreciating the very moment I am living in – Franck Boutonnet

For me, being competitive allows me to push myself ahead – Franck Boutonnet

I’m trying to convince people that from any kind of situation, you can get incredible imagery – Franck Boutonnet

Episode 157: Tyler Wirken – Approaching Photography Business Like an Assignment 

The way I chose to exist in this industry is to be visible through contests – Franck Boutonnet

Thanks again for listening to the show and thanks to Franck for coming on and experimenting with a new and different format for this photography podcast and for sharing his thoughts, views and ideas.

Also, a big thanks to the Laura Babb and the people behind the SNAP Photography Festival  for sponsoring this episode of the podcast and making the show possible.

SNAP will takes place on a farm in West Wales, UK on the 24th – 28th July 2017 and will be attended by photographers from all over the world.

It's largely aimed at wedding and lifestyle photographers but they will have speakers from across all sectors of the photography industry, including photojournalists, fashion photographers, landscape photographers and academics

SNAP organisers are focussed on learning outcomes, rather than just throwing together a line up of big names.  They aim for a well balanced, diverse programme.

I've heard the closing parties are epic and there are always a few surprises along the way.  At last years event, two festival attendees got married!

As well as the learning and speakers there will be activities like wild swimming, beach trips and camp fire hangouts.  SNAP is a chance to recharge your batteries before wedding season starts.

If you want to find something, you need to look for this. If you don’t look for anything, for sure you won’t find anything – Franck Boutonnet

If you have any suggestions, comments or questions about this episode, please be sure to leave them below in the comment section of this post, and if you liked the episode, please share it using the social media buttons you see at the bottom of the post!

That’s it for me, hope everything is going well for you in life and photography!

Thanks and speak soon

Andrew
