I always look forward to creating something special for my clients, wedding photography is my passion and my knowledge”<BR> <BR> “I have been taking photographs since the age of 8 and have been a professional photographer all my working life”. <BR> <BR> A former recipient of the Australian Institute of Professional Photography (AIPP) Wedding Award, Greg has also been represented in the Hasselblad Masters National Exhibition, Nikon ANMN Awards and the 2001 National Frank Hurley Award winner.<BR> <BR> “To win the Frank Hurley Award was a major event for me as I have always regarded Frank as one of the worlds great photographers.<BR> I remember viewing his Shackleton Antarctic expedition series of images when I was in my teens and thinking then how incredibly powerful those amazing black and white images were. Frank was fearless, innovative as well as a great image maker, no expedition photographer has ever produced such a legacy” <BR> <BR> “Another major influence on my life was meeting Perth photographer, John Whitfield-King. John’s wedding images and my introduction to the classic Leica Rangefinder camera became a whole new road for me to travel along. I quickly came to realise that wedding photography could be done the way that I wanted to do it, honest, real, capturing life in flight, responding simply and deeply with heart and mind. To create powerful images that will be always be treasured, honoured and an important part of my subjects family history”<BR> <BR> “As mentioned above my photographic style has been strongly influenced by the use of the Leica camera, the operational speed, quietness along with it’s low light capability and only working with a single lens, the Leitz Summicron 35mm, has really defined my style and approach to wedding photography”.<BR> <BR> “During the past decade with the advent of digital photography I have noticed that a lot of wedding photography in this area has a very contrived artificiality about it. Now anyone can take a reasonably good photo. The common acceptance of photo editing software has seen many photographers manipulating photographs, creating artificial scenario’s and enhancing otherwise mediocre images, a cover-up for poor photography”<BR> <BR> “My wedding clientele, as I mentioned previously are people that are more discerning and looking further into the photographic image”.<BR> <BR> “They want a true record of the occasion, done with integrity and honestly, that’s why my imagery has been so successful”.<BR> <BR> “I often get asked what I think about digital cameras and digital photography, it is only now with the advent of the Canon EOS full frame digital camera system that I am finally happy to shoot a wedding digitally”.<BR> <BR> “The Canon EOS produces remarkable images as good as if not better than film-based technology. I do no digital enhancement with my style of wedding photography and I still have my Leica M7 for the<BR> astounding black and white images that only the Leitz lenses can record”.<BR> <BR> Wedding Photography With a Difference You Will Treasure.<BR> <BR> Greg Mace M.Photog.<BR> <BR> 2006. <BR><BR><BR><BR> TESTIMONIALS <BR><BR> So many people have commented on your work saying how relaxed and natural our wedding photographs look.
