82: This is Patrick Mateer

Really loved talking to the fab Patrick Mateer of M and G Wedding Photography for episode 82 of the Podcast! Patrick is one of the UK's best documentary wedding photographers, and was ranked joint-49th in the World on TiR for 2020. He's amassed more awards since then, too, and currently has 11 Reportage Awards and 2 Story Awards to his name - an incredible achievement. Patrick shares so much in this episode, including: the forming of his studio and shooting alongside his wife (the very talented Hollie Rosa Mateer), how and why his approach to shooting has evolved, being in a band, our Netflix synopsis game, the story behind his 'Cigarettes & Alcohol' Reportage Award, top tips for improving your documentary work, football, community, why he personally enters awards, and so much more...
