We in Australia separated from the American style in the mid-eighties and early nineties. You won't see much Monte Zucker lighting here. Not that it is not beautiful, but it is a little too stiff and formal for us. As for the market, and here I assume you mean the costs, how does it cost more for to cover a wedding without any extra lights, assistants, 120 cameras, etc, than it does with a kit of Leica over your shoulder? So many people have this "it won't work in my town" mentality. Then someome comes in and takes over the town.We spend an hour or so after the service wandering around a city, a beach or any other suitable location without even the expense of a studio. I have a suspicion that the "English approach" may be in the mind of the photographers. :-) I would LOVE to have your light to cover my weddings, instead of having to wait till sundown to reduce the contrast. .............and your scenery!!..... with all those lovely textures and old buildings!!! Tell you what. find me a wedding to shoot in England, I'll speak to them on the phone about the costs and I'll come over.
