Self-Taught Photographer Takes Unbelievable Wedding Photos Like You’ve Never Seen Before

ADVERTISEMENT

It is often said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Australia-based photographer Peter Adams-Shawn has made a name for himself by capturing the mirror reflections in wedding guests’ eyes. He took his first “eyescape” in 2011 and has been taking these beautiful photos consistently since 2014.

His wedding photography work is so unbelievable that the head International Loupe Awards judge apologized to Adams for thinking his stunning pictures was a composite.

Adams-Shawn shared this tip for taking amazing wedding photos with Techly: “One other secret – the best frames I’ve captured have had the subject smiling,” writes Adams-Shawn. “This relaxes the shot, brings natural creases in their beautiful eyes, and even this close, you can tell the subject is smiling.”

    I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.

    The fake lens flare on the ring photo gives clues that he does use photoshop to some extent.
