Wedding photography meeting in Krakow

Each year my friend and colleague Greg Placzek http://www.moment.com.pl arranges a small informal get together for wedding photographers. This is in the beautiful historic city of Krakow in Southern Poland. As well as myself there were 2 other photographers from Kent and 2 from the Netherlands.
Greg arranged some models for us - Aga, Lukasz and Marta who were happy to pose around the freezing streets of Krakow much to the amusement of the locals. This is an excellent opportunity to try out new ideas many of which you would not risk on a real wedding day or have the time to do. One of these was was using a video light which provides fantastic fashion style lighting. It was also an opportunity to visit several attractions including the Jewish old town and the famous salt mines. This is an amazing place where a church has been carved out of the salt many hundreds of metres below ground (images 4th and 6th down). We also spent a day visiting Auschwitz. I'll post these images later.

This was an excellent trip. Krakow is well worth a visit and I must mention the fantastic food and warm hospitality we received. A big thanks to Greg and the models for making this so memorable.
