Paul
CINCOTTA AIPP Master of Photography
Master of Photography Paul Cincotta lives on beautiful Hamilton Island in the far north of Queensland. He has recently been internationally acclaimed for a most unusual wedding photograph. WPPI Grand Award Great photographs seem to just happen, but this overlooks one very important fact: photographers have to be aware of what’s happening around them to capture them.
Paul Cincotta was photographing a ‘pinterest’ bride who had previsualised many of the photographs
she wanted for her wedding.
She was adamant about what she was after. She planned her album through other people’s
photographs that she’d found on social media and in bridal magazines. I don’t have a problem with this because it clearly conveys to me what my clients like and, importantly, what they don’t like. This is really valuable because it gets the bride, and often her groom, involved in the photography and this in turn makes them easier to photograph. They have a vested interest in how the shoot turns out. (Opposite) Paul Cincotta’s 2015 WPPI Gold Distinction Award & 1st Place: Wedding Bride Alone , plus the 2015 WPPI Wedding Grand Award.
