A tad unconventional, Fer Juaristi works to remind his clients that ‘their wedding is an experiment’ to try and scare away as many traditional couples as possible. Inspired by cinematographers, tattoo artists, and anyone else who is unconventionally artistic themselves, Fer takes his photos with a critical eye and a creative heart, and today shares some of that process with us.
Fer Juaristi is a Mexican Wedding Photographer who has cultivated his passion for photography into a fulfilling career. He focuses on remaining true to his artistic form and thinks about the psychology behind the shot. Fer is sharing how he connects his shooting to emotions, the importance of nostalgia, and why it is important to create a community in which to learn from each other.
As a wedding photographer you
get to choose what couples, a task that Fer does not take lightly.
By anticipating the moment, thinking fast, and acting slow, Fer
wants to inspire others to fulfill their passions and chase their
dreams.
What do you think of Fer’s unorthodox approach to wedding
photography? Let us know in the comments on the episode
page.
