Gus Woltmann, photographer

Gus Woltmann, photographer – nice to meet you! I was born in Australia in 1974, and now I am based in London, England. I have been a photographer ever since I can remember. My speciality has been taking photos of European cities ever since I first visited the continent, and I am glad to have been given the talent and opportunity to capture it all as if I were a local. That being said, I believe we all are citizens of the world if we open our eyes to it.

I held a camera for the first time at a very small age. Growing up I could not resist taking photos of everything around me, but it was mostly architecture which left me baffled. Finding different buildings was a joy, and I started off as a local in my city – that is how the obsession came to be. But buildings are not the only things that catch my eye. I love people, I love meeting different people and that is where I love doing personal projects just for you.

Moments turn into memories when spent with those who are close and special. I always strive to capture them, no matter how. I was the photographer for my sister’s wedding, because I insisted on it – no one was too happy with a child’s photos but I was just a child after all (she hired me for her second wedding when I was older, this one she enjoyed). In a picture, I capture a clump of exquisite moments. Photography is like my sweetheart, it never betrays and never goes away, staying as sweet as a high school crush.
