29: This is Alison Bounce

Super excited to have the fab Alison Bounce with us for episode 29 of the This is Reportage Podcast! Winner of no less than 12 Reportage Awards, Alison is not only one of the best wedding photographers in France, but she's also a brilliant underwater photographer too, something which we dive into (sorry, had to do that pun!) - amongst many other things - on the episode today. Stick with us as Alison shares all about: • how she went from being a firefighter to photographer, • how she's currently dealing with the pandemic, • her thoughts on weddings themselves and why she likes photographing them, • her first ever wedding, • how she got into underwater photography (after initially being scared of water!), • her favourite TV series, • advice for entering our awards (Alison was a judge for us in Collection 6) • an amusing story behind one of her recent Reportage Awards, • how her cat has changed her life, • top tips for starting out in the industry, • giving at workshops and receiving in return, • the bloody tale of what happened after one of her Reportage Awards, • why moment trumps composition and light, • what annoys her about the industry, • shy she doesn't like to book weddings too long in advance, • what makes her happy, • her thoughts on second shooters and why it's important they meet the couple beforehand, • the most challenging aspect of wedding photography, • and much more... There's also a full transcript of our interview with Alison at https://thisisreportage.com/podcast-episode-29-this-is-alison-bounce/, as well as the specific Reportage Awards she talks about in the episode, more examples of her work, and links to her websites, too.
