Episode 40 John Dolan Editorial, Advertising & Celebrity Wedding Photographer Welcome to Episode 40, in this episode we’re going to talk with the lovely John Dolan, A photographer with a career that has covered decades in the Advertising, Editorial and Fine Art world, but has also seen him in listed in the top 45 of Harper’s Bazaar top Wedding Photographer List; alongside that he’s had the pleasure of photographing many beautiful celebrity clients including Will Smith, Ben Stiller, Kate Bosworth, Bridget Moynahan, and most recently, Gwyneth Paltrow. John is a calm and endearing man with a passion to capture those special moments in time for those to treasure forever. We tackle John to try an understand a little about his technique, his methods and his approach into what makes his work so ‘Unplanned and free’ in his style. Does a celebrity wedding carry any more pressure than a non celebrity one, well, we try to find out….. especially as both Jake and I are both frightened to death of shooting weddings. lol. It’s just not our cup of tea… John also shoots a lot of film, which we already love about him, but listen in as we dive deep into what are his favourite cameras, which is his go to film stock and why and how he has become his own walking light meter. What’s interesting, is that John still shoots good ole film for his wedding shoots and even recently has still been whipping out the 8 x 10 for some shots - a beast of a camera to say the least…..Although he favours his Rolleiflex it’s not the only camera he carries on his shoot day, John can carry up to 6 different cameras with him to achieve a variety of looks that helps carve his unique creative style. You see ‘Film is not dead’. John has such a calming character about him and it was a real pleasure talking to him about his workflow, his techniques and about his business, he is so forthcoming with his knowledge and happy to sit down and share anything you want to ask. Make sure you listen to the whole episode as there are some great takeaways from this episode, especially if you are into film.
