Photo of the Day


30 Rising Star Colin Ross Shoots For Genuine Connection

November 8, 2019

By Jacqueline Tobin

Throughout the the month of November, our Photo of the Day series will be taken over by each of Rangefinder‘s newly minted 30 Rising Stars of Wedding Photography in 2019. The 30 honorees are featured in our November issue, and each of their full, 30-photo submissions, reviewed by the competition judges, can be found in our online gallery. For more behind-the-scenes insights, follow us on Instagram.

Colin Ross strives to connect with each individual couple in documenting their relationship and the story of the unique moments and details of their weddings. “I try to stay authentic to who I am and who they are, and photograph in an honest way, no matter what the latest trends and tricks are,” says the London-based, self-taught photographer.

“When my couples receive their photos, I want them to look back on their day and experience the joy and emotion all over again. One way I achieve this is by underexposing my photos and tweaking them slightly by enhancing the tones; the goal is for the photos to stay as real to the original shot as possible.”

In the gallery above are his behind-the-scenes insights on three of the photos from his submission this year.
