Melbourne Muslim Wedding Photographer: A Melting Pot of Love
Melbourne is a lively, cosmopolitan city with a wide variety of customs and events that Muslim wedding photographers are crucial to documenting. Melbourne is a cultural hub where people congregate to celebrate the union of two souls in marriage because of its diverse range of customs and beliefs. Under the leadership of Shaadi Capture, preserving these priceless moments turns becomes a mission to honour the diversity and beauty of love in Melbourne's multicultural mosaic, rather than just a service.
Islamic Marriages' Significance Muslim weddings in Melbourne are a stunning blend of customs, rituals, and familial relationships. From the colorful Mehndi ceremony to the solemn Nikah, every aspect of a Muslim wedding is full of deep symbolism. It is the duty of an accomplished wedding photographer to carefully and artistically record these moments on film for the benefit of future generations.
The Job of the Wedding Photographer The duties of a Muslim wedding photographer extend far beyond simply taking images. They must possess in-depth understanding of cultural peculiarities, religious sensitivities, and family dynamics. Through their lens, the love, happiness, and emotional resonance of the occasion are retained. Balancing Tradition and Modernity A significant challenge facing Muslim wedding photographers in Melbourne is balancing tradition and modernity. They must adjust to changing fads and tastes while simultaneously honoring long-standing norms and rituals. This calls for a blend of technical skill, creative flair, and cultural awareness. Gathering the Happiness of the Festivity Muslim weddings occur in a range of locations throughout Melbourne's multicultural terrain, from opulent banquet halls to private garden celebrations. Every location offers a different set of advantages and difficulties for wedding photographers. Meticulous attention to detail is essential when attempting to portray the elegance of a grand reception or the rustic beauty of an outdoor event. Using the Architectural Design of Melbourne
Muslim wedding photos are set against a gorgeous backdrop of the city's varied architectural styles. Melbourne has several beautiful spots for group photos and bridal portraits, ranging from modern skyscrapers to historic sites. An expert wedding photographer understands how to take use of these circumstances to produce compositions that are striking to look at.
Combination of Traditions and Cultures The merging of cultures and customs is another feature that distinguishes Muslim marriages in Melbourne. Couples frequently combine aspects from their individual backgrounds to create a genuinely one-of-a-kind celebration. For a wedding photographer, this offers both chances and problems as they have to manage various cultural dynamics and make sure every moment is recorded true to life. Communication's Significance For a Muslim wedding photographer in Melbourne, communication is essential. Gaining an understanding of the couple's goals and expectations requires developing a relationship with them and their families. A more coherent and significant end product is produced when there is open communication between the photographer and subject, who can then anticipate important events and feelings.
Observing the Influence of Love Seeing the strength of love transcend cultural barriers is one of the most fulfilling experiences for a Muslim wedding photographer in Melbourne. Weddings are a global celebration of commitment and bonding, regardless of culture or religion. By preserving these moments, photographers can contribute a tiny yet meaningful amount to the eternalization of romantic relationships. In summary Muslim wedding photography in melbourne is a delicate art that calls for a careful balancing act between technical mastery, cultural awareness, and creative vision. Photographers have the ability to capture the intricate web of love and custom that characterizes these festivities through their lens. As Melbourne continues to evolve as a multicultural hub, the role of the Muslim wedding photographer remains as vital as ever in capturing the beauty and diversity of love in all its forms.

BOSS OF THE BUS
As we were making our way down the west coast on our 5 day trip, Genevieve was investigating trips from Side to Capadocia in the centre of Turkey. Correspondence went back and forth about a €40-50 (about $75-80) 3 day trip. Comparing what we were paying for our 5 days this was so cheap I feared we would be camping. But no this was the price. Of course the sting came a bit later.
So we were up for it and the 4 of us booked to start the tour on 12th June with pick up time 6.45am. Antique Side is closed to cars other than those of residents so the tour bus couldn’t come down the hill to collect all our luggage. Booking ‘agents’ advised the town electric cart would collect us but alas no. Meanwhile Chris was in negotiations with the police manning the gate but it was a firm No. With minutes ticking by Doug quickly got Penny’s car, luggage was loaded into that and driven to the bus.
Now about 30 minutes had elapsed so understandably got some stink-eye from the passengers who’d been kept waiting.
The bus was designed for 12 passengers but fitted out for 17 so it was a close and intimate affair. In the front 2 seats were Doug and Gene who it has to be said got lucky with some extra leg room. Behind them 2 elderly Danes who grabbed a bottle of wine and or beers at every possible opportunity. Behind the Danes were 10 year old Russian lad with his mousy mute mother. Then Chris and me wedged in (Russian lad had his seat reclined the entire 2 days), and behind us the very friendly and chatty Aunty Margaret and Tina from Essex. Along the back were sweet young newly weds Soyah & Maurice from Holland, a spare seat, then Holly, Tina’s stepsister who judging by her size would have been grateful for the spare seat. Could have knocked us over with a feather when she told us she had been to the 7 continents by age 24, had emigrated to Melbourne several years ago (lives in Chelsea)and works as a sound engineer. You just wouldn’t have picked it!
Then heading back along the bus in single seats was a surly young lad who turned out to be part of the tour operation, a woman of unknown origins who disappeared after day 1, then Mr Russia who seemed to have supplanted both his wife’s and his son’s ego into his own.
Bus driver slipped under the radar but the same can’t be said for the guide Nahjo. In fact it was a battle of egos between Nahjo and Mr Russia. He didn’t just like the sound of his own voice. He was addicted to it! Along the way amongst other chit chat and information we got his life story, some group marriage guidance, how small lies can be forgiven and how this works in a religious context too. Every monologue went for a minimum of 10 minutes and woe betide you should you chat amongst yourselves during one of his diatribes. In the gaps the gregarious, party-loving-club-going-40-something Tina would try to share with me her life history. Nahjo seemed to get wind of it and standing facing the back of the bus would either clear his throat or announce it was his turn. Chris and I were left thinking our polite and humble Gallipoli guide must have been absent for the Tour Guide Arrogance 101 unit of the qualification.
So we were off and despite the late get away we stopped not 20 minutes down the road for a tea/ coffee break, followed by a breakfast stop 40 minutes later at a petrol station/ roadside stop. (It has to be noted that Cappadocia is some 470 kilometres from Side so it was going to be long day if the stops came so frequently). Breakfast option 1 was a vast modern complex selling everything you don’t want to eat. Gene who has an eye for local food spotted hidden in a corner behind some trees an outfit selling gözleme so we headed there. Great decision. Shoes off and into the tent where the local lady sat crossed leg with her dough, tubs of filling and the black dome for cooking the gözleme. Spinach and cheese one was a bit dry but the potato one was outstanding.
All wedged ourselves back in the bus which climbed up the mountains through some magical scenery. Unfortunately Nahjo kept reassuring us on the wrong side of the bus that we would see it ‘on the back journey’. However our arrangements meant we weren’t doing ‘the back journey’ so at one particular stop he was a little annoyed when we headed off 200 metres down the road to photograph the nomads herding their goats. I suggested it would be better for all if the bus pulled over so we could all see anything of interest on the way to Cappadocia. Suggestion was not welcomed.
Another stop for coffee and the sting of the extra €’s. It had to happen of course. You can’t run a tour for €50 per person providing transport, 2 nights accommodation no matter how basic, 2 dinners and two breakfasts. So lunch which we though was fend for oneself turned out to be a set payment (we only paid for one and opted to take our chances on day 2), and extra for Whirling dervishes, museums (charge €25/ $39.20 versus ticket face value less than $9) etc totalling an extra €120 between us. Even taking that into consideration €220/$350 for both of us was pretty cheap and the overcharging on extras balanced the undercharging on initial outlay.
Next stop, lost count if it was 4 or 5, was at the Mevlâna museum Konya, the birth place of the Sufi religion and Dervishes. The site is a holy place for Muslims with over 1.5 million visiting it yearly. The Mosque contains the tomb of Rumi (unfortunately hidden due to renovations) later known as Mevlâna who devised the idea of whirling and the tombs of other eminent dervishes. Also on display were Mervlana’s coat, a box apparently containing his beard and any number of exquisitely decorated Qurans, one so tiny that the author went blind writing it.
Alongside the Mosque was a complex giving information about the dervish culture. Included was a lodge displaying mannequins dressed as they would have been in Mevlâna’s day and the dervish cells displaying various items. I for one would have enjoyed more than our tightly scheduled allotted time there. But we were rounded up like errant school children and headed back for the bus. Chris managed to ruffle Nahjo’s feathers by needing a toilet stop when we were warned the next section of the drive would be 2.5 hours. By this stage as it was 1pm we were wondering about the elusive lunch if the drive was for 2.5 hours. There was some grumbling from Tina and Aunty Margaret and it wasn’t from their stomachs.
Eventually we rolled into another vile modern roadside stop - our lunch venue. Behind the counter were some aggrieved (probably because of the lateness of the hour) gorillas of men slopping out an assortment of runny casseroles, reluctant to identify any ingredients. It tasted as bad as it looked. We were immediately pleased with the earlier decision not to commit to day two lunch.
A short drive and then time for another stop. This time it was to visit a preserved home dug under ground, a primitive more simple Coober Pedy affair. Apparently tunnel complexes formed entire cities but this was a small example taking only 10 minutes for everyone to get through. I opted out and instead waited near the entrance/ exit where a dozen or so middle aged women had set up a market. Trouble was they were all selling the same little local cloth dolls so competition to get any one walking by was frenetic. Females in particular were the target for the spruiking with a good natured but frantic cacophony of calls of “Mother, Mother”. The closer anyone ventured to the stall the louder the screeching got. I hope everyone managed to sell something but with another 5 weeks on the road, it wasn’t something I could buy.
Everyone back on the bus and off to Dervish show scheduled to start at 6pm. Clearly we were up against it as the previously cautious bus drive planted his foot. Arrived shortly after 6pm with another bus arriving after us. Having been so enchanted with the beautiful ceremony we saw at Hodjapasha in Istanbul Chris and I we were looking forward to a similar experience. Dougal and Gene had never seen them and had their expectations built up by us.
Oh dear!!! The pipe/flute player struggled to find a note, the dervishes all looked like novices (part time uni job perhaps), they wore slippers that made a noise that was distracting, one was losing his pants, also very distracting. There was a non dancing head honcho roaming around amongst them dressed in black once again distracting, they didn’t vary their speed and were for the best part out of sync. Yes they could spin but it lacked all the beauty, rhythm and charm of our previous experience. We left feeling glad to have seen a more authentic experience and Doug and Gene left feeling they were yet to see one.
Short drive to our delightfully self rated ‘Special Class’ hotel in Göreme, rooms allocated and orders that we had 15 minutes to get to dinner. Dinner a simple affair with lentil soup, the not-so-traditional-Turkish chicken schnitzel and melon. Danish couple of course knocked off another bottle of wine.
Gene, Chris and I headed for a stroll to town wandering through the streets. Highlight was at a hotel where I poked my head in and elderly Mehmet the owner insisted we come and look at his accommodation. Beautiful rooms that were huge with the bathrooms built into the rock giving a sense of a modern and upmarket Flinstone bathroom. With Mehmet’s limited English we spent a special half hour in the hotel’s courtyard trying and making a reasonable hash of having a meaningful conversation.
A long day and time for to return to our ‘Special Class’ Hotel Karl for bed, especially for Gene with a 4.30 am start for her hot air balloon flight over Cappadocia.

The New York Times asked 22 young women to take photos for a project exploring daily life for girls around the world who are becoming adults this year.

TiKa Wallace is not your typical New York Times photographer.
She’s 17, competes in slam poetry events and describes herself as “an amalgamation of creative witticisms, music references and chocolate.” Raised by a single parent from a blue-collar background, this “young, queer, black girl” attends high school in a wealthy suburb of Washington, D.C.
She is, as she puts it, “a square peg in a round hole.”
She is also among 22 young women who took photos for the project “This is 18,” which documents girls around the world. And now she has been published in The New York Times, in a special section devoted to exploring what life looks like for girls turning 18 in 2018. The project goes online today and will appear in print next week.
“What surprised me is that a major news outlet that is consumed by millions of people all over the world is allowing teenagers to tell teenager stories,” she said. “Normally, when a story is told, especially for a major news outlet, it’s told by someone who’s 30 or 40 years old. It’s just seen from a different lens versus when your peers get to tell your story.”
Staff photographers for The New York Times usually have several years of professional experience at other news organizations, and even then, they usually have to wait awhile before they get to work on projects. But the visual journalists like Ms. Wallace whom we enlisted for this project were decidedly different. They were young women, mostly teenagers.

Jessica Bennett, the paper’s gender editor, realized early on that the key to success for this project was going to be getting an authentic view of the lives of 18-year-old girls. She and Jodi Rudoren, associate managing editor for audience — in collaboration with a team of editors and designers in Styles — decided the best way to assure that authenticity of experience was to have teenage photographers take the pictures and conduct interviews.
The project, managed by Sharon Attia, a 23-year-old photographer herself, became less hierarchal because most of the young women also choose their subjects.
The team behind the project paired each photographer with a mentor to help them complete the assignment and to make it a learning experience.
We asked the photographers to find the girls, photograph and interview them, and make videos of their subjects, as well. Although the photographers were mostly in their late teens, they were asked to act like professionals. And they did.
So how do you find a couple dozen talented female teenage photographers from all over the world? Well, let’s say it takes a village — a global village. Sandra Stevenson, the project’s picture editor, and I relied on a global network of photographers, editors and teachers that we have compiled over decades.

The team decided not to take a set approach, but it did try to choose 18-year-old female subjects with various experiences from a variety of places. For the most part, it was an organic process, because it was led by the young women. And it was often an educational experience for the photographers, as Adèle Foglia, a 21-year-old photographer from Montreal, noted.
“What surprised me the most about this project was to realize how differently the world all experiences this transition to adulthood,” she said. “And also it pushed me to reflect on my own experience and to see how sometimes the world may be such an unwelcoming space for women who have dreams and the determination to realize those dreams.”
Many of the photographers felt empowered by the project and the opportunity to highlight their own concerns in their own communities.
Jessie Mirelas, 19, who grew up in Zacatecas, Mexico, has always been proud of living in “a diverse multicultural country with great architecture, great destinations and an exquisite gastronomy — a place where the peoples that preceded us remain alive.”
She photographed Obdulia González González, an 18-year-old who is part of the indigenous Wixárika people of northern Mexico. She helps her parents sell traditional crafts and hopes to attend college.
“I believe this project is important because it’s giving us a voice, an opportunity to tell our story not only just in Mexico, but to the world,” said Ms. Mirelas, who studies at the University of Veracruz and wants to become a journalist. “To be able to show the legacy and cultural heritage of our indigenous peoples who are often neglected or ignored.”

Yasmine Malone, who turned 20 this month, grew up in Clarksdale, Miss., in the Mississippi Delta and is now a student at the University Of Mississippi in Oxford, majoring in English and political science. Using just the camera in her phone, she documented Madison Justice, a teenage mother in Clarksdale.
“I saw much of my mom and sister in her when she spoke about these things, being that they have all experienced being a teen mom in poverty with limited resources,” she said. “The frequency of this story is where it’s power stems. Madison Justice is not alone in her struggle; plenty of teens deal with it. Their stories deserve to be told for not only the realness of it all, but for its humanity, perseverance and strength.”
When many think of the Delta, they think of “poverty, crime, gun violence and low health rates,” Ms. Malone said. She learned that “we all have a story worth telling” which, over time fosters hope in her community. “If we can find our common threads,” she said, “we’ll realize the gaps between us are not that big, and there is where real social change can happen.”

Some of the young photographers already had a mentor, but for the others, we asked photographers in their country to take on the role. Sandra provided guidance on how to take photographs and monitored the progress of participants to keep them on track. For three months straight, she was like an air traffic controller on the day before Thanksgiving — with some of the pilots speaking languages she did not understand.
For many participants, the project was a crash course in documentary photography and filmmaking: Make wide shots so we can see where you are, and also details. Photograph them hanging out with both friends and family and in their rooms alone. And be sure to collect family photos. Oh, and make a video of them, too.
Ms. Bennett and Ms. Attia teamed up with editors from the Styles section and digital and print designers to curate all the material and present it as a zine.
At the beginning, each photographer was asked to find three different 18 year olds. We asked them to not choose their friends and to send us a brief bio of each subject and a few photos of them in their rooms. The team then chose one of those subjects for each photographer.

Sarah Sunday Moses, 19, hails from South Sudan but grew up in Kenya after her parents fled the instability in their country. She photographed Wanjiku Muthoni Gakuru, who is studying urban planning at the University of Nairobi. What impressed Ms. Moses “the most in doing the project was the amount of people that were required,” she said, and the complexity of the forms that we asked the photographers to fill out.
She hopes that readers see that “despite being from different parts of the world, we are still similar,” she said.
Some of the photographers documented young women who were similar to themselves, while others spent time in situations quite different from their own. Tahia Farhin Haque from Dhaka, Bangladesh, is studying biochemistry at North South University while also studying at a photography school. While she describes herself as a practicing Muslim who wears a hijab, she photographed Shama Ghosha, a young Hindu woman who lives with her husband in Chandpur and hopes to finish high school and become a teacher.
“I went there with my eyes shut and came back with my eyes open of an entirely different life of a girl that lived in a different state,” she said. “We must empathize with the world around us. And not take anything for granted.”

“I believe this project is important because it’s giving us a voice, an opportunity to tell our story not only just in Mexico, but to the world,” said Ms. Mirelas, who studies at the University of Veracruz and wants to become a journalist. “To be able to show the legacy and cultural heritage of our indigenous peoples who are often neglected or ignored.”

Yasmine Malone, who turned 20 this month, grew up in Clarksdale, Miss., in the Mississippi Delta and is now a student at the University Of Mississippi in Oxford, majoring in English and political science. Using just the camera in her phone, she documented Madison Justice, a teenage mother in Clarksdale.
“I saw much of my mom and sister in her when she spoke about these things, being that they have all experienced being a teen mom in poverty with limited resources,” she said. “The frequency of this story is where it’s power stems. Madison Justice is not alone in her struggle; plenty of teens deal with it. Their stories deserve to be told for not only the realness of it all, but for its humanity, perseverance and strength.”
When many think of the Delta, they think of “poverty, crime, gun violence and low health rates,” Ms. Malone said. She learned that “we all have a story worth telling” which, over time fosters hope in her community. “If we can find our common threads,” she said, “we’ll realize the gaps between us are not that big, and there is where real social change can happen.”

Some of the young photographers already had a mentor, but for the others, we asked photographers in their country to take on the role. Sandra provided guidance on how to take photographs and monitored the progress of participants to keep them on track. For three months straight, she was like an air traffic controller on the day before Thanksgiving — with some of the pilots speaking languages she did not understand.
For many participants, the project was a crash course in documentary photography and filmmaking: Make wide shots so we can see where you are, and also details. Photograph them hanging out with both friends and family and in their rooms alone. And be sure to collect family photos. Oh, and make a video of them, too.
Ms. Bennett and Ms. Attia teamed up with editors from the Styles section and digital and print designers to curate all the material and present it as a zine.
At the beginning, each photographer was asked to find three different 18 year olds. We asked them to not choose their friends and to send us a brief bio of each subject and a few photos of them in their rooms. The team then chose one of those subjects for each photographer.

Sarah Sunday Moses, 19, hails from South Sudan but grew up in Kenya after her parents fled the instability in their country. She photographed Wanjiku Muthoni Gakuru, who is studying urban planning at the University of Nairobi. What impressed Ms. Moses “the most in doing the project was the amount of people that were required,” she said, and the complexity of the forms that we asked the photographers to fill out.
She hopes that readers see that “despite being from different parts of the world, we are still similar,” she said.
Some of the photographers documented young women who were similar to themselves, while others spent time in situations quite different from their own. Tahia Farhin Haque from Dhaka, Bangladesh, is studying biochemistry at North South University while also studying at a photography school. While she describes herself as a practicing Muslim who wears a hijab, she photographed Shama Ghosha, a young Hindu woman who lives with her husband in Chandpur and hopes to finish high school and become a teacher.
“I went there with my eyes shut and came back with my eyes open of an entirely different life of a girl that lived in a different state,” she said. “We must empathize with the world around us. And not take anything for granted.”

The New York Times asked 22 young women to take photos for a project exploring daily life for girls around the world who are becoming adults this year.

TiKa Wallace is not your typical New York Times photographer.
She’s 17, competes in slam poetry events and describes herself as “an amalgamation of creative witticisms, music references and chocolate.” Raised by a single parent from a blue-collar background, this “young, queer, black girl” attends high school in a wealthy suburb of Washington, D.C.
She is, as she puts it, “a square peg in a round hole.”
She is also among 22 young women who took photos for the project “This is 18,” which documents girls around the world. And now she has been published in The New York Times, in a special section devoted to exploring what life looks like for girls turning 18 in 2018. The project goes online today and will appear in print next week.
“What surprised me is that a major news outlet that is consumed by millions of people all over the world is allowing teenagers to tell teenager stories,” she said. “Normally, when a story is told, especially for a major news outlet, it’s told by someone who’s 30 or 40 years old. It’s just seen from a different lens versus when your peers get to tell your story.”
Staff photographers for The New York Times usually have several years of professional experience at other news organizations, and even then, they usually have to wait awhile before they get to work on projects. But the visual journalists like Ms. Wallace whom we enlisted for this project were decidedly different. They were young women, mostly teenagers.

Jessica Bennett, the paper’s gender editor, realized early on that the key to success for this project was going to be getting an authentic view of the lives of 18-year-old girls. She and Jodi Rudoren, associate managing editor for audience — in collaboration with a team of editors and designers in Styles — decided the best way to assure that authenticity of experience was to have teenage photographers take the pictures and conduct interviews.
The project, managed by Sharon Attia, a 23-year-old photographer herself, became less hierarchal because most of the young women also choose their subjects.
The team behind the project paired each photographer with a mentor to help them complete the assignment and to make it a learning experience.
We asked the photographers to find the girls, photograph and interview them, and make videos of their subjects, as well. Although the photographers were mostly in their late teens, they were asked to act like professionals. And they did.
So how do you find a couple dozen talented female teenage photographers from all over the world? Well, let’s say it takes a village — a global village. Sandra Stevenson, the project’s picture editor, and I relied on a global network of photographers, editors and teachers that we have compiled over decades.

The team decided not to take a set approach, but it did try to choose 18-year-old female subjects with various experiences from a variety of places. For the most part, it was an organic process, because it was led by the young women. And it was often an educational experience for the photographers, as Adèle Foglia, a 21-year-old photographer from Montreal, noted.
“What surprised me the most about this project was to realize how differently the world all experiences this transition to adulthood,” she said. “And also it pushed me to reflect on my own experience and to see how sometimes the world may be such an unwelcoming space for women who have dreams and the determination to realize those dreams.”
Many of the photographers felt empowered by the project and the opportunity to highlight their own concerns in their own communities.

Madison Justice is not alone in her struggle; plenty of teens deal with it. Their stories deserve to be told for not only the realness of it all, but for its humanity, perseverance and strength.”
When many think of the Delta, they think of “poverty, crime, gun violence and low health rates,” Ms. Malone said. She learned that “we all have a story worth telling” which, over time fosters hope in her community. “If we can find our common threads,” she said, “we’ll realize the gaps between us are not that big, and there is where real social change can happen.”

Some of the young photographers already had a mentor, but for the others, we asked photographers in their country to take on the role. Sandra provided guidance on how to take photographs and monitored the progress of participants to keep them on track. For three months straight, she was like an air traffic controller on the day before Thanksgiving — with some of the pilots speaking languages she did not understand.
For many participants, the project was a crash course in documentary photography and filmmaking: Make wide shots so we can see where you are, and also details. Photograph them hanging out with both friends and family and in their rooms alone. And be sure to collect family photos. Oh, and make a video of them, too.
Ms. Bennett and Ms. Attia teamed up with editors from the Styles section and digital and print designers to curate all the material and present it as a zine.
At the beginning, each photographer was asked to find three different 18 year olds. We asked them to not choose their friends and to send us a brief bio of each subject and a few photos of them in their rooms. The team then chose one of those subjects for each photographer.

Sarah Sunday Moses, 19, hails from South Sudan but grew up in Kenya after her parents fled the instability in their country. She photographed Wanjiku Muthoni Gakuru, who is studying urban planning at the University of Nairobi. What impressed Ms. Moses “the most in doing the project was the amount of people that were required,” she said, and the complexity of the forms that we asked the photographers to fill out.
She hopes that readers see that “despite being from different parts of the world, we are still similar,” she said.
Some of the photographers documented young women who were similar to themselves, while others spent time in situations quite different from their own. Tahia Farhin Haque from Dhaka, Bangladesh, is studying biochemistry at North South University while also studying at a photography school. While she describes herself as a practicing Muslim who wears a hijab, she photographed Shama Ghosha, a young Hindu woman who lives with her husband in Chandpur and hopes to finish high school and become a teacher.
“I went there with my eyes shut and came back with my eyes open of an entirely different life of a girl that lived in a different state,” she said. “We must empathize with the world around us. And not take anything for granted.”

The New York Times asked 22 young women to take photos for a project exploring daily life for girls around the world who are becoming adults this year.

TiKa Wallace is not your typical New York Times photographer.
She’s 17, competes in slam poetry events and describes herself as “an amalgamation of creative witticisms, music references and chocolate.” Raised by a single parent from a blue-collar background, this “young, queer, black girl” attends high school in a wealthy suburb of Washington, D.C.
She is, as she puts it, “a square peg in a round hole.”
She is also among 22 young women who took photos for the project “This is 18,” which documents girls around the world. And now she has been published in The New York Times, in a special section devoted to exploring what life looks like for girls turning 18 in 2018. The project goes online today and will appear in print next week.
“What surprised me is that a major news outlet that is consumed by millions of people all over the world is allowing teenagers to tell teenager stories,” she said. “Normally, when a story is told, especially for a major news outlet, it’s told by someone who’s 30 or 40 years old. It’s just seen from a different lens versus when your peers get to tell your story.”
Staff photographers for The New York Times usually have several years of professional experience at other news organizations, and even then, they usually have to wait awhile before they get to work on projects. But the visual journalists like Ms. Wallace whom we enlisted for this project were decidedly different. They were young women, mostly teenagers.

Jessica Bennett, the paper’s gender editor, realized early on that the key to success for this project was going to be getting an authentic view of the lives of 18-year-old girls. She and Jodi Rudoren, associate managing editor for audience — in collaboration with a team of editors and designers in Styles — decided the best way to assure that authenticity of experience was to have teenage photographers take the pictures and conduct interviews.
The project, managed by Sharon Attia, a 23-year-old photographer herself, became less hierarchal because most of the young women also choose their subjects.
The team behind the project paired each photographer with a mentor to help them complete the assignment and to make it a learning experience.
We asked the photographers to find the girls, photograph and interview them, and make videos of their subjects, as well. Although the photographers were mostly in their late teens, they were asked to act like professionals. And they did.
So how do you find a couple dozen talented female teenage photographers from all over the world? Well, let’s say it takes a village — a global village. Sandra Stevenson, the project’s picture editor, and I relied on a global network of photographers, editors and teachers that we have compiled over decades.

The team decided not to take a set approach, but it did try to choose 18-year-old female subjects with various experiences from a variety of places. For the most part, it was an organic process, because it was led by the young women. And it was often an educational experience for the photographers, as Adèle Foglia, a 21-year-old photographer from Montreal, noted.
“What surprised me the most about this project was to realize how differently the world all experiences this transition to adulthood,” she said. “And also it pushed me to reflect on my own experience and to see how sometimes the world may be such an unwelcoming space for women who have dreams and the determination to realize those dreams.”
Many of the photographers felt empowered by the project and the opportunity to highlight their own concerns in their own communities.
Jessie Mirelas, 19, who grew up in Zacatecas, Mexico, has always been proud of living in “a diverse multicultural country with great architecture, great destinations and an exquisite gastronomy — a place where the peoples that preceded us remain alive.”
She photographed Obdulia González González, an 18-year-old who is part of the indigenous Wixárika people of northern Mexico. She helps her parents sell traditional crafts and hopes to attend college.
“I believe this project is important because it’s giving us a voice, an opportunity to tell our story not only just in Mexico, but to the world,” said Ms. Mirelas, who studies at the University of Veracruz and wants to become a journalist. “To be able to show the legacy and cultural heritage of our indigenous peoples who are often neglected or ignored.”

Using just the camera in her phone, she documented Madison Justice, a teenage mother in Clarksdale.
“I saw much of my mom and sister in her when she spoke about these things, being that they have all experienced being a teen mom in poverty with limited resources,” she said. “The frequency of this story is where it’s power stems.

Capturing the Essence of Tradition: Muslim Wedding Photographer in Melbourne
A Muslim wedding, or Nikah, is not only a celebration of love but also a sacred event deeply rooted in faith and tradition. For couples in Melbourne planning their big day, choosing the right photographer to capture these moments is crucial. A Muslim wedding photographer in Melbourne specializes in documenting the beauty, elegance, and spiritual significance of each wedding ceremony, ensuring that every moment is preserved with care and respect.
The Importance of a Culturally Sensitive Photographer
A Muslim wedding comprises various meaningful customs, including the Nikah (the marriage contract), the Walima (reception), and several pre-wedding and post-wedding events depending on cultural background. The intricacy of these ceremonies requires a photographer who understands the nuances of the rituals, from capturing the bride’s entrance to documenting the heartfelt dua (prayers) offered by family members.
Culturally sensitive wedding photographers are skilled in more than just photography; they possess an understanding of Islamic wedding traditions, enabling them to anticipate key moments throughout the event. This insight is especially important for capturing intimate moments, like the solemnity of the Nikah, the warmth of family interactions, and the joyful celebrations during the Walima.
What to Expect from a Muslim Wedding Photographer in Melbourne
A Muslim wedding photographer in Melbourne offers a tailored approach to wedding photography. These professionals are familiar with the cultural and spiritual aspects of Muslim weddings and are skilled at creating imagery that reflects both the traditional and modern elements of the day. Here’s what you can expect:
Respect for Islamic Values: Muslim photographers or those experienced with Islamic weddings understand the importance of modesty and privacy. They respect gender segregation during certain events and ensure that their approach aligns with Islamic values, including respecting the bride and groom’s requests regarding photography.
Capturing Key Traditions: From the signing of the Nikah contract to the couple’s first look at each other, Muslim wedding photographers focus on the pivotal moments. They also document emotional moments, such as the bride’s tearful farewell during the Rukhsati or the blessings offered by elders after the Nikah.
Blending Artistic and Candid Styles: Muslim weddings are a rich mix of sacred rituals, family interactions, and joyous celebrations. A professional photographer balances posed portraits with candid shots to reflect both the formal and informal aspects of the wedding. This approach ensures that the final album captures everything from the grandeur of the day to the subtle emotions shared between the bride, groom, and their families.
Pre-Wedding and Post-Wedding Shoots: Many Muslim couples in Melbourne opt for additional pre-wedding or post-wedding photo sessions. Whether it’s an engagement shoot, a Mehndi ceremony, or a post-wedding couple session, these additional moments are captured beautifully against Melbourne’s scenic backdrops, blending Islamic tradition with modern elegance.
Choosing the Right Muslim Wedding Photographer in Melbourne
When selecting a wedding photographer, it’s essential to ensure that they not only have photography skills but also understand the significance of a Muslim wedding. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a Muslim wedding photographer in Melbourne:
Portfolio: Look for a diverse portfolio that demonstrates the photographer’s ability to capture cultural weddings. Their experience with Muslim weddings should be evident in their previous work, showcasing both traditional moments and artistic flair.
Flexibility and Customization: A good photographer will offer customizable packages tailored to the specific needs of your wedding. Whether you’re hosting a multi-day celebration with pre-wedding events or a simpler, intimate ceremony, your photographer should be able to adapt to your schedule and requirements.
Experience with Muslim Ceremonies: Ensure that the photographer has experience working with Muslim couples, as their familiarity with Islamic customs will make them more effective at capturing the special moments of your day.
Professionalism and Communication: Communication is key to ensuring your photographer understands your vision. Choose a photographer who is approachable, open to discussions, and professional in their dealings.
Why Hire a Local Muslim Wedding Photographer in Melbourne?
A local Muslim wedding photographer brings the advantage of familiarity with Melbourne’s landscape, culture, and wedding venues. They know the city’s best locations for outdoor shots, from Melbourne’s stunning gardens to its picturesque waterfronts, offering beautiful settings that enhance the elegance of your wedding portraits.
Additionally, a local photographer will have a deep understanding of the local Muslim community, allowing them to connect better with the traditions and preferences of Melbourne’s diverse Muslim couples. This cultural awareness enables them to create wedding albums that blend traditional Muslim customs with contemporary photography styles, ensuring that your unique story is told through the lens.
Conclusion
A Muslim wedding is a unique blend of spirituality, tradition, and celebration, and choosing the right photographer is vital to preserving these special moments. A Muslim wedding photographer in Melbourne offers a blend of cultural understanding, professional expertise, and artistic talent to ensure that your big day is documented in the most meaningful way.
By choosing a photographer who respects Islamic values and understands the importance of capturing every sacred moment, you can rest assured that your wedding album will be a timeless reflection of love, faith, and family. Whether you’re hosting an intimate Nikah ceremony or a grand multi-day celebration, a skilled photographer will create a visual story that you and your loved ones can treasure for generations to come.

How to Select a Melbourne Muslim Wedding Photographer?
In everyone's life, weddings are a momentous event full of love, happiness, and the promise of a future shared. For Muslim couples, a wedding is not just their joining of two people but also the start of a new chapter anchored in faith, family, and culture. Recording these events is vital, and a qualified Muslim wedding photographer Melbourne can make sure the beauty and importance of the ceremony live for next generations. Retaining these memories in a way that captures the core of the event depends on selecting the correct photographer.
We will walk you through the process of choosing a wedding photographer that respects and knows your cultural traditions in this post, therefore producing breathtaking images that highlight the beauty, spirituality, and excitement of your unique day.
Appreciating the Special Features of a Muslim Wedding
Muslim weddings abound in customs that differ somewhat based on the ethnic background of the couple. Nonetheless, they all follow similar religious customs and ideals, hence while choosing a photographer, one should give these great thought. Usually featuring religious procedures including the Nikah (marriage contract) and many cultural rites involving family meetings, prayers, and profoundly spiritual festivities, Muslim weddings are distinguished.
Since these customs are important, the photographer must be aware of the subtleties of the ceremony, the value of particular events, and the need of capturing them with respect. A photographer knowledgeable with Muslim weddings will be more suited to record the holy rites as well as the lighthearted events without losing a beat.
Look for what in a Muslim wedding photographer in Melbourne?
Selecting the appropriate photographer calls for great thought since it is about presenting a story rather than only capturing images. These important factors should help you decide on a wedding photographer for your Muslim marriage in Melbourne:
1. Experience Muslim Weddings
Experience is really important while selecting a photographer. Not all photographers are aware of the special dynamics of a Muslim wedding; however, knowing the rituals is essential to seize the appropriate moments. Experience with Muslim weddings will enable a photographer to identify the most crucial aspects to capture, including the Nikah ceremony, the vow-exchanging family relations, and the celebration events following.
A photographer who has photographed several Muslim weddings in Melbourne will also be familiar with the venues where these events are typically held, which would assist in arranging and guaranteeing best lighting and angles. Request to view their portfolio especially targeted on Muslim weddings to be sure their style fits your vision for your big day.
2. Acknowledging Cultural Sensitivity
Strict cultural and religious rules that photographers have to follow abound at Muslim marriages. For instance, the photographer should respect the space and customs throughout the wedding ceremony. Many times, men and women may be split off for portions of the ceremony; the photographer must be aware of this divide to prevent any embarrassing circumstances.

What are the Important Wedding Photography Melbourne Rule To Instantly Take Better Wedding Photos?
Wedding photography is a monster in itself. As a Sikh wedding photography Melbourne, you need to realize how to shoot everything from still life, representations, bunches both in obscurity and in the light. You're generally on a tight course of events and everlastingly hauling weighty stuff around. However, to finish it off there are implicit guidelines that you should follow if you desire to have a profession.
There are the well-known ones like only the bride wears white and don’t hand out your business cards if you’re not the primary photographer. But some small rules aren’t as obvious but will be disastrous if you break them.
Stop always shooting at eye level-
All the more explicitly, stop continually taking shots at your eye level. So often I see pictures from a photographic artist where throughout 5 or so pictures, I can immediately tell how tall they are. That is because their point of view won't ever change. The issue with this is that you are not giving the watcher any kind of visual variety. It's additionally difficult to get the ideal organization if your camera is stuck at a similar stature for the whole day.
We want to see the eyes-
For 90% of the time, a groom to be is preparing, he is peering down. So when I go through pictures from Muslim wedding photographer Melbourne, it bodes well that 90% of the pictures show the highest point of the man of the hour's head. Particularly given the conditions in tip number one. This is ideal where you need to get low, however, you may have to try and lay on the ground. Not exclusively will this give you a point of view where you can see the eyes, yet you will seem as though a dedicated hero for your difficulty.
Show what it feels like-
The greater part of the big day is spent shooting minutes head-on as they occur. While this is certifiably not something terrible at all. We need to make sure to show what a portion of these minutes feels like for the individual you are shooting. This means reminding them what those minutes resemble for them. Not simply showing them what the second resembled for every other person. To do this we need to take pictures from the perspective of the subject. Consider what they are seeing and show that decently well. At times this might be shooting behind them or it might simply mean taking a picture that is like their viewpoint.
Understand the couple’s relationship style-
Presently ideally your customers came to you since they love your Sikh wedding photography Melbourne style. Notwithstanding, that doesn't imply that each customer that cherishes your style has a similar character. Become acquainted with your customers and what their relationship resembles through a straightforward online poll or by really investing energy with them two-on-one. The last thing you need to do is attempt to pull genuine sentiment out of them when they're an idiosyncratic carefree couple. You'll perceive how I pull out my couple's relationship style in my impending visit and workshop.
