Peter Eastway interviews Jerry Ghionis about his move to medium-format
digital and what it means for his wedding and portrait photography.
'…the more I play with the Phase One P 40+, the more I can see myself
using it for everything…'
Jerry Ghionis believes the new Phase One P40+ mediumformat camera system
is going to create a brand new market segment for wedding photographers
and he plans on being the first to exploit it!
In the profession of wedding photography,
few are as well known or respected as Australian photographer, Jerry
Ghionis. Now working from an up-market boutique studio in the modern
Docklands area, Melbourne, he shoots weddings, portraiture, fashion and
special event assignments. A Master of Photography with the AIPP
(Australian Institute of Professional Photography), American Photo
magazine listed Jerry as one of the Top Ten Wedding Photographers in the
World and Microsoft has named him an Icon of Imaging.
Jerry’s assignments and seminar engagements see him travelling the globe
several times a year. An inspirational public speaker, there is standing
room only for his platform presentations at congresses such as WPPI
(Wedding Portrait Photographers International) and PPA (Professional
Photographers of America) where he is hugely influential, promoting
in-camera creativity to turn the ‘ordinary into the extraordinary’. And
he has had extraordinary success in photographic competitions, winning,
for example, six International Wedding Album of the Year awards at WPPI
in the last seven years.
So when Jerry Ghionis made the move to medium-format digital, the world
took notice. Why after creating such a big reputation with DSLR cameras
would he change camera formats, specifically the Phase One P 40+ camera
system?
