Photographer's Comment

I love to document in a less obvious and creative manner. Having captured the usual images of wedding guests enjoying a video booth, I wanted to capture it a little differently. I noticed the wedding booth vendor remotely operating settings inside the booth. He was obviously keen the guests inside were unaware of his "control" so keeping him anonymous whilst also documenting that "control" was important to the image. Also, as a passionate candid street photographer who loves finding the slightly surreal in every day moments, the slight curiosity of how I framed this appealed to me.
