Ian Weldon

I'm a documentary photographer from the North of England predominantly photographing culture, tradition and leisure, whilst also working on commercial assignments. With only a brief period of studying photography at a local college, I'm primarily self-taught. I'm a previous lecturer on photography history and have delivered a wide range of photography programs both academically and privately. My last long term project, 'I Am Not A Wedding Photographer', was recently exhibited at the Martin Parr Foundation in Bristol, and was featured worldwide in major publications including The Guardian, The British Journal of Photography, Vice, Creative Review, BBC World News and CNN to name but a few, with I-D France billing him as, ‘le photographe de mariage le plus cool du monde’. (The coolest wedding photographer in the world) A book of the work, with the same title, has been co-published by RRB Books and The Martin Parr Foundation. Currently sold out. Although documentary work, and weddings, will always be a part of what I do, I would like to turn my attention to another discipline that I'm passionate about, architecture and interiors. I love buildings, old and new, I love design and space, and I'm especially interested in how photography can show, not only how something looks, but also how it feels. And, in my quest for learning, I'd welcome any opportunity to assist with established and talented photographers.
