“The work an artist produces is an extension of their personality”

Rohan Traman (1984, p.42, What is an artist’s style?)

Q: “What’s your style?”

A: The Covid19 Tik Tok video above gives you a glimpse.

I usually get asked this question at the midway mark of a wine and cheese meet at our place.

“Cheerful, approachable, cognisant, mad”

The People (2020, p.1, What is this guy… this Rohan.. like?)

That would be my answer in 4 simple words. Not necessarily in that order.

I don’t think my work falls under a particular label, because I feel labels sound restrictive. I share equal love in producing vibrant and colourful images as much I do in making dark, moody ones. Check out the 2 contrasting images below captured in the same environment.   In the same vein, the videos I produce range right from the outrageous party in the country side to the slick city side wedding. No two weddings are the same, so your video should have a unique story too.

“Just to let you know, we are not really great in front of the camera”

“We don’t do well in photos.”

“We prefer our photographer to have a candid approach to our day”.

These are statements I hear at least 80% of the time and that’s totally understandable! I am an awkward mash of nervousness in front of a camera myself – it’s no easy feat. Hence with my fine wine fuelled approach (mostly for you, a little for me), all you’ll hear from me from time to time is “Hey guys, I think the light’s awesome at this spot, let’s get a few shots here”. Works? Don’t like wine? Or whisky? Not even the gin or some good ol’ fashioned bourbon? No worries! – my ever growing repertoire of failed comedy attempts should lighten up the atmosphere at a shoot.

ONE FINE DAY

BIG FAT WEDDING
