23: This is David Scholes

Honoured to have the fantastic David Scholes with us for episode 23! David was joint-ninth in our top photographers of last year; second in the UK overall, with 8 Reportage Awards and 2 Story Awards in 2019 (and more since). Not only is he a great photographer, but he's also a lovely guy who's a real pleasure to talk to. Stick with us today as David shares all about: • how his uncle, grandfather and great-grandfather were all wedding photographers, • his past life as a DJ, • his degree in photography and how he got into weddings, • his very first wedding and early approach, • what he gets from being a TiR member, • his tips/advice about Story Awards, • things he would have done differently (both in terms of life and photography), • editing tips and advice, • some of the very funny things that have happened to him at weddings, • the story behind one of his specific Reportage Awards, • how he picks images to enter, • Four Weddings and a Funeral and Bill Murray, • what he's afraid of, • why he doesn't want to be a wedding DJ, • some of his most memorable images, • what he's looking forward to doing after lockdown, • what makes a good wedding photographer, • and much more...
