In the main you could get away with
forgetting to photograph the in-laws - and since the advent of the
digital revolution, if the bride blinked, Photoshop would always forgive
you back in the digital darkroom.
But now photographers are only too aware that a kaleidoscope of
commentary on their work (both flattering and visceral) will inevitably
be scattered like confetti across
cyberspace on blogs and social networking sites like Facebook, MySpace
and Twitter.
Now everyone’s watching.
But world-class photographers like
Australia-based Gordon Jovic are taking these
new communication channels in their stride – and it’s not hard to see
why.
Here are a couple of online ‘third party’ comments on this
multi-award-winning
wedding photographer’s work:
“Just stumbled upon your site and your
beautiful pictures made me cry. I am truly, madly,
deeply in love with your work.”
And from a professional photographer: “You
have amazing talent and people like you
inspire me to do better. People tell me I am a notch above everyone else
but you are about
five notches up on me.”
Gordon Jovic, an SWPP international member, who for two consecutive
years has
been in the Australian ‘Top Ten Wedding Photographers of the Year’ list,
has no problem
with pushing boundaries and challenging the way things have always been
done in
the past.

Photo Quote: We take language into our minds; we read words in the same internal voice with which we think, remember, pray. But when we look at paintings or photographs, the reverse is true. If the image corresponds to our most intensely personal, yet archetypal, yearnings and memories, we don't take the image in, we move out of ourselves into the image, as though it were another world, a hologram whose forms of light are ghostly angels, or a dream whose physical reality is suggested by what we see on the surface of a canvas or a page. We connect with the image as though we had lost it within our own memories and are now surprised to find it represented outside ourselves, vital and luminous, charged with energy. - Jayne Anne Phillips
