Shutter Stories: A Canon Podcast on Photography, Filmmaking and Print

From the dawn of the daguerreotype to the era of mirrorless technology, the imaging landscape has continually evolved, driven by technological advancements that have reshaped how we capture and tell stories. In fact, we could be living through another leap in imaging technology now, driven by AI.

Weddings, with their whirlwind of emotions and fleeting moments, demand intimacy, trust, and coordination. And who better to navigate these intricacies than a married couple who own and operate a wedding photography business together? 

Join host Ilvy Njiokiktjien as she speaks to hybrid shooters Carmen and Ingo Leitner, a husband and wife team who have been together for over 20 years and have been shooting weddings together since 2006. 

As well as discussing the advantages and challenges of working with your spouse, Carmen and Ingo share how they juggled the initial months of being parents while shooting destination weddings: with a second shooter, who doubled as a nanny! They also share some amazing advice and numerous tips for shooting both photos and video, and for budding wedding photographers. Listen to the end of the episode to catch them all! 

Carmen and Ingo Leitner have travelled the world to capture weddings in some of the most spectacular settings imaginable. The pair, who are entirely self-taught, are renowned for producing beautiful backlit shots, often illuminating newlyweds in the golden glow of a sunset.

Welcome to the next episode of our short-form podcast series, Shutter Stories Moments. 

Being a part of the photography, filmmaking or content creation industry is a pleasure and a privilege but earning a living in the field isn't guaranteed, and there may be points in their career when creators may consider where else they can apply their talents and whether there are any other careers they could pursue. 

We asked four established creators what they would be doing if they weren't working in this industry.
