Welcome to James Crockford Photography
There are a few different aspects to what I do. Particularly I enjoy taking photographs of people - most people find it a strange experience having their photographs taken, and for me the first challenge is to make them feel comfortable.
I talk to people. I listen to them. I find out what makes them tick. It is only after this that I can really start to capture them and their personality.
This is even more important with family portraits. Kids are honest and direct most of the time, and they see through you if you are not genuine. For me, the art of family photography, and children's photography in particular, is being able to pose people without them feeling like they are being posed. Through experience I have learnt how to get the most out of children, whether they are outgoing and noisy, or whether they are quiet and introverted. I also have experience with photographing children who may have learning difficulties or disabilities that sometimes mean they have fewer beautiful photos of them.
My personal challenge is to make sure everyone has a set of photographs that they love.
My experience with photographing people all comes together for wedding photography. Weddings are wonderful events, sometimes big, sometimes small, but always very special. My job as a photographer is not only to get great shots of the day, but also to make sure I do it in the right way. Sometimes I merge into the background, sometimes I have to encourage large groups of people to the right place at the right time. What is most important to me is that the family and friends (and most importantly the couple) see me as an enjoyable part of the occasion, and not as distraction. It is a genuine privilege to be there with a couple as they get married, and an even bigger honour that they look at my photographs for years to come and remember fondly of their wedding day.
I hope my enjoyment for taking photos and my ability to capture people comes across in my website. I look forward to hearing from you in person.
