Series 2, Episode 4: Geraint Roberts, Analog Film Enthusiast and Wedding Photographer
Geraint Roberts
Episode Description
This week we say a big ‘HELLO’ to photographer, friend of the show and all round lovely chap, Geraint Roberts.
Nick met Geraint back in 2018, when he was just finishing his degree in Marine Biology and Photography at Falmouth University; one of the UK’s leading institutes for studying photography. I ‘took Geraint under my wing’ (his words) and we have worked together many times since then!
As well as a great wedding photographer, Geraint has always maintained a keen interest in shooting with analog film and this was the subject of the chat in this episode.
Geraint has huge passion and skill for shooting film and the whole process from acquiring film stocks through to creating a ‘look’ with a lab that compliments the look he achieves with his digital photography work.
Here he gives some great insight into the process, and some tips to get into the art of analog film that many will find interesting. Like many people I have an old film camera in my studio, but didn’t really know where to start with using it and Geraint had opened that door for me and I’m keen to give it a try.
Geraint’s photos are full of beautiful, pastel tones and delicate highlights - a look that also makes him a very popular wedding photographer. You can check out his website here: www.geraint-roberts.co.uk
