Honoured to welcome the fab Steve Gerrard on to the Podcast for episode 25! As well as being a brilliant wedding photographer, Steve is also massively known as a music lover, having been a successful DJ himself, and having also photographed hundreds of bands all over the world. That's why, for this episode, we've had a special 'theme' - a totally original (!) theme which we've called 'Marooned Mp3s'. Steve had to think of just eight songs that he would choose to have with him if he found himself marooned somewhere, such as a desert island...

So, as well as all the usual chat about photography and life, you can listen to all of Steve's music choices at https://thisisreportage.com/podcast-episode-25-this-is-steve-gerrard/, as we have embedded YouTube videos of all of his chosen tracks there (as well as a full transcript, as we do for all our wedding photography podcast episodes)

Stick with us today as Steve shares all about:

• living with a famous name,
• why he doesn't like sleep,
• his past life as a DJ touring the world, and how he got into weddings,
• the time he went record shopping with Guns n' Roses,
• a surprising fact about him that most people would be surprised to know,
• the relocation of his entire business and life from England to Canada,
• some SEO nuggets of advice,
• how the wedding industry differs between England and Canada,
• what's been the most effective in terms of marketing,
• how his music photography influenced the way he shoots weddings,
• one of his quite famous/infamous images (the traffic cones portrait),
• how a specific song massively impacted his life,
• some film recommendations for lockdown,
• his 'driving to a wedding' song of choice,
• his podcasts of choice,
• outsourcing,
• and much more...
