13: This is Anna Rowland

Really excited to have the fab Anna Rowland with us for episode 13! Based in the UK, Anna has been shooting for over ten years, winning awards left, right and centre, and was ranked tenth overall on our Top Photographers of 2018 list. Loved talking to Anna; she had so much to share, including: • her first camera and shooting her first wedding on film, • her thoughts on the way the industry has changed (or not) over the past 12 years, • why she thinks workshops and conferences are important, • being a bit of an introvert and why she often shoots with seconds, • tips for people wanting to get better with flash, • the importance of pushing through the fear zone, • a controversial 'last meal' choice, • her previous life as a phlebotomist, • some memorable moments from her experience of shooting over 600 weddings, • how to pronounce scone and Bath, • how she deals with anything that bugs her about this industry, • her experience of being the photographer for the Nine Dots Gathering 2019, • what she does in the quiet season, • how she balances being a mum and being a wedding photographer, • her most effective marketing avenue, • her soon-to-be-announced joint workshop with Nadine van Biljon, • the two days she would choose to live over and over again, • what she's afraid of, • her bucket list and love of Lemurs, • her top tips for better documentary wedding photography, • and much more...
