With wedding season now over (technically I'm missing one, but don't be a pain in the ass) it's imperative to look back and reflect on your work. There are many approaches to wedding photography, but they boil down to the usual 2: posed or reportage. Actually, there are only two approaches, and those are them. In posed it's the photographer who tells you what to do by filling you with guano when you don't do it, in reportage it's the photographer who gets filled with guano because he's taking too long to take the group photo. It's hot, Christ. It doesn't matter that we're not all here. It doesn't matter that I'm still talking and that I come out looking like I'm chewing an invisible lemon. In theory, the pure reportage photographer is a neutral witness who doesn't judge and follows the action. In reality, he judges, judges a lot, but judges in silence. If it's FotoPugno, not even so in silence, who already has a compromised liver from other abuses, further swelling it with stress is not good. Despite this, having arrived in October, there is still much to say. For many but not for all, this of mine is meant to be a thank you to those who, despite having many other things to think about that day, wanted me to accompany them in the most discreet way possible, insulting them only when they deserved it, and only in their interest, without offending, to make the experience as smooth as possible. I like to think that I have always created more solutions than problems. Like sacrificing myself for the last canapé of the buffet, the one that if it doesn't disappear the catering won't bring any more. Or having the scissors at hand when there is the fillet to cut that the seamstress has forgotten. Or making the groom's tie. Or distracting the mother of the bride so she doesn't see her while she goes to smoke. And taking photos, too, when there is time.
