Let’s dive in ⬇

Business moves. We love to see wedding photographers out there making moves.

This week saw wedding photographers @joyzamoraphoto / @robertmarcillas / @arnaumaslo get together to BUY their own film lab.

The Shooters Film Lab.

The dream they say, “To take film photography as far as possible.”

And before they go on spree to change up the aesthetic, website and offer, they said this:

“We all know the feeling of coming home from a wedding with 20, 30 or 50 rolls in your bag, not knowing who will handle them or whether they'll understand what you were trying to create. When you shoot film, you're not just sending a roll to be processed. You're sending part of your creative process.

We want Shooters to be a lab built by photographers, for photographers. A place where you can trust your work, have more control over the result and where communication feels human.

We also know what it's like to move constantly between weddings in different countries, so we want Shooters to be that place you can trust wherever you are, one that knows your color, your preferences, and treats every photographer differently.”

How freaking cool.

Wedding photographers are some of the coolest people. Doing life on their own terms. And making moves.

Go support them.

The biggest frustration for wedding photographers is TIME.

Yeah you can do it on a controlled shoot. The full creative concept. Perfect the pose. Move the light. Take as long as you need to make everything just right.

But a real wedding day is squeezed for time.

The 30 minutes set aside for ‘portraits’ becomes a quick 3.5 minutes with the planner breathing down your neck…

At the same time, photographers want to make better images. Push their work forward. Create something more ambitious than JUST whatever happens to fall in front of the camera.

THAT’S THE TENSION.

How do you create something ambitious without taking over the entire day?

How do you make better photographs when the timeline always feels squeezed?

During their recent Lensel PRO workshop, The Ferros introduced a simple idea that answers both questions.

They called it PEAK MOMENTS.

Stop trying to control everything and freaking out when things don’t go to plan.

And damn, this one is good!

Giacomo is a deep thinker and a sensitive shooter. This one will speak to you!

“ What I take away from this wedding is the quiet reassurance that I am on my own path.. one built on fewer preconceptions and a deep openness to whatever work, and life, brings my way. Above all, I truly believe that no matter how hard one tries to replicate certain moments, diversity and individuality are what truly deserve to be celebrated. And the only way to do that is to leave space for the unexpected.”

— Giacomo
