Rocco Ancora

Rocco Ancora

Being awarded a prestigious accolade such as the Australian Institute of Professional Photography’s wedding photographer of the year once in a career is meritorious; to receive the award three times in a four-year span is a ringing endorsement of the high regard in which his peers hold Rocco’s craftsmanship.
Rocco Ancora claimed the AIPP award in 2004, 2006, and 2007 and he has also featured prominently in Wedding and Portrait Photographers International awards list. And an additional accolade he prizes is the Ilford Trophy for the highest scoring monochrome print in Australia, which he claimed in 2007.
Many of Rocco’s images are classical and romantic, exquisitely imbued with distinctive and evocative lighting and composition similar to that found in numerous wonderfully-crafted movies from the 1940s and ‘50s. It’s a look and feeling that Rocco strives for. Complementing this artistry is that special ability common to all great people photographers—being able to connect with the subjects so they interact comfortably with the photographer, at ease in front of the camera.
Rocco sums up this aspect of his work: “For me a good photograph has to be full of emotion, mood and atmosphere. Taking great wedding photographs isn’t about me or winning awards, it is about the people I am photographing—my clients. I like people and am genuinely interested in finding out what makes them tick. When shooting at weddings, I look for moments that make me feel good inside and these are usually the same moments that make the bride and groom feel good. We’re all made up of life experiences and by being in tune with our own, we can then be in tune with theirs. Connecting with people is easy if they feel comfortable around you.”
Through Rocco’s images the essence of the wedding is warmly and sensitively conveyed. The human connection of emotion, love, intimacy and humor is captured and portrayed through the eyes of a master photographer.
