Wedding photography is treated as the lowest category in the world of photography, considered too commercial and not artistic enough. But wedding photographers are the creators of a personal and collective memory that accurately reflects the society in which they operate. For “I DO”, curator and photographer Paolo Woods has selected wedding photographers from 4 continents.
Enoch Boateng and his brother Maxwell Aggrey are local stars in Ghana; Sam Ekta are a couple who run a successful studio in Mumbai, India. Thomas Sauvin is a French artist who runs the “Beijing Silvermine” project. Oreste Pipolo was the master of the classic, eye-catching Neapolitan wedding, an institution of southern Italy that is continued today by his daughters Ivana and Miriam. Manal Alhumeed is a young photographer living in Riyadh. Valerie Baeriswyl is a wedding photographer in Switzerland and Haiti; Lindsay Ladd photographs gay and queer weddings in Philadelphia ( Juan de la Cruz Megías Mondéjar is a photographer who worked in southern Spain in the 80s and 90s.
