Admittedly, he's working with beautiful subjects
…but the Photographic work of Photography of beautiful, professional models
would, you might think, always produce good quality photography. Not So! I
have seen far too many so-called professional productions where I have stared
in wonder and asked myself the unanswerable question (while slowly shaking my
head from side to side): 'how did the photographer make that big a mess of
such a lovely subject?' I have never asked that question of any work I have
seen from Yes, he starts with a lovely subject. That's where
the work begins. |

The hair design, the application of make-up,
apparel, lighting and interest (through pose and environment) combine with
the technical knowledge and that ever-so-important dash of
behind-the-camera-magic that is crucial for that final stunning composition. And Based in tropical Another success trait for a Photographer of people,
that is often under-rated, is the ability to relate to those people. Bryce is
a 'nice guy' with a natural ability to connect. Bryce describes his photography as 'a
passion to create'. |

"I love working with people ...and bringing out my
creativity by using them as my canvas. In saying this, it is my desire to
give the client / model an experience of being special and to provide them
with the end result of receiving images beyond their expectation. My goal is
to achieve images that are both original and have that 'Wow!' factor." From a childhood hobby that began as a simple
desire to record family holidays, photography for Bryce has developed into
his passion. "When you get behind the camera you step into another
world and for the hour or hours while shooting, nothing else in the world
steps in the way of your freedom to create. It's definitely empowering. What
I love about it now is meeting and making so many new friends. The world is full
of wonderful people." When Bryce is asked about his Mentors, his first
expression of appreciation goes to his brothers. |

"My brothers have all had a passion for photography, although
in different fields (such as wildlife), and their work continues to inspire
me. Of course there are many others that you meet along the way that have
been there for longer than you and you can learn so much from them. I believe that the world is full of mentors just waiting
for you to ask the questions. So I like to find them and just keep on
learning. Take hold of the opportunity when you get it." We asked Bryce the age-old question of spontaneity
versus preparation and he gave us our quotable quote of this edition: "A lot happens spontaneously whilst you are actually
out on a well planned shoot." Ed: What about inspiration? Most creative people struggle with the worry
of where the inspiration will come from. |

"I find my inspiration in the early hours of the
morning, at home or on travels. Models are not the only subject for Bryce Wegener's
camera. "I guess I have tried most styles, but at this stage
I would have to say that high fashion is my favourite. I also enjoy landscape
photography and love photographing the outback." Ed: Words for aspiring photographers? "Just take an idea and try it. If it doesn't work
then figure it out, ask questions from those that know the answers and live
your passion. It is so rewarding." Ed: What do you hope that people will see in your work? |

"I hope that they will see creativity mixed with true
beauty."
