John Dolan Photographer

Announcing the formation of @ritual_photocollective A group of photographers committed to deepening the conversation about photographing weddings. Honest, Intimate. Unexpected. See more in IG Stories. Follow along.

Fellow photographers, planners, friends: Which photo editor or creative partner took a risk on you at the beginning of your career? Who gave you your big break? Feels like a good time to acknowledge these folks. I’ll go first: @gtowey @darcymiller @heidipos @marthastewart @cliona1960 #leapoffaith #gratitude .....Full story: I met Clio at a photo agency. Showed her a small box of wedding pics, mostly of friends. She said, Martha’s starting a wedding magazine. RUN up there, I ran up to meet Heidi, the photo director. She called over Gail, the Creative Director. 2 months later the first issue of Martha Stewart Weddings hit newsstands with 20 of my photos featured. I got 60 inquiries in the first month after publication. #mynewyorkstory #editorialphotography #givethanks
