Variety is the key to a happy career! I find the variety of my work means one project inspires another, and that I continue to evolve and find innovative methods to photograph people and products<\/p>\n<p>A typical week week can include a large wedding or event, corporate head shots, interiors and promo shots for a singer-songwriter &#8211; and I love all of it!<\/p>\n<p>I feel variety is the spice of life, and my job allows me to meet and work with amazing people from all walks of life and backgrounds. I have won various awards in different fields of photography, from weddings, to landscapes, to portraits as a result.<\/p>\n<p>My success as a photographer is not simply down to being able to use a camera, understand lighting techniques, and compose a shot. It is also because I am a genuine people person. I can happily follow a strict brief that a client has requested, or can take control and inspire a shoot if that is what is required.<\/p>\n<p>I am proud to be a photographer and a very hard worker (often still editing into the small hours). I come from a hard working family of creatives &#8211; my mother is a professional artist and my father is an author. I was raised to believe that I can be successful in anything I want to be, as long as I have passion and believe in myself.<\/p>\n<p>Outside the field of photography, I also founded <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/artsbrum.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Birmingham Arts (ArtsBrum)<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.birminghamopenstudios.com\">Birmingham Open Studios<\/a><\/strong> and run an Open Mic night in Moseley. I love travelling (who doesn&#8217;t) and trying to balance keeping fit whilst drinking enough wine \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>If you wish to discuss you wedding, event or photography ideas with me, I will be happy to talk to you either face-to-face or on the phone. Or you can contact me here<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":333,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Owen de Visser | Award-Winning Photographer Birmingham<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Award Winning Professional Photographer specialising in weddings, events, corporate work and artistic photography.
