About James Sturcke Photography
Wedding photography:
My style can simply be described as: Narration and Emotion. I arrive early, leave late and use the time I’m with you to tell the story of the day as it unfolds. A wedding day is full of emotions and capturing them is key to what I do. I’m not that big on setting up poses (though I’m happy to do group shots) or telling your guests to pause and look at the camera.
I use the skills I attained during my journalistic career, chiefly patience, observation and anticipation. I hardly use flash and don’t like bulky equipment. Most of my clients pretty quickly forget that I’m even there. The result is a sensational set of largely spontaneous images that you’ll treasure for years to come.
I work for myself and by myself. I love it when people come with ideas of what they want photographed because I like working out “the how”. I’m flexible in a way that only small teams can be.
My service includes a professionally produced album. You will also receive high resolution photos and I will upload a selection of the best images to the internet where your friends and family can view them. If you like the photos here, please don’t hesitate to get it touch.
Portrait photography:
I specialise photographing people doing what they love. If you’re a keen cook, we’ll set up in the kitchen. An outdoor type? Let’s go to the mountains. I enjoy the challenge of capturing people in their natural environment in completely different settings.
Commercial:
Behind every great business is a great photographer! Corporate portraits, product photography and coverage of your business in action.
Editorial photography and photojournalism:
My photos have been published in El País, ABC, The Guardian and The Independent, to name just a few.
Before moving to Ezcaray in La Rioja, I worked as a staff reporter for The Guardian newspaper in London. I have also worked for the Independent, Mail on Sunday and Rough Guides travel books.
All types of editorial and travel assignments accepted. Happy to provide words as well as pictures. I work across Spain.
