Ben Appleby: FedWed Panel Member and Derbyshire Wedding Photographer
In this series of posts we’re going to be introducing you to the FedWed panel building up to the launch of our mentoring options and advice panels for when the wedding season quietens down and you can start focusing on your business for next year and way beyond. Today’s interview is with Ben Appleby of HBA Photography, being interviewed by FedWed co-founder Adam.
From a jazz degree, touring the world playing sax to being a wedding photographer
It’s always so interesting to hear people’s stories of how they got started. You’ll hear how the first wedding Ben ever went to was his own, and that sparked his interest in wedding photography after getting a jazz degree and then being a world-travelling musician.
How to stay creative and block out industry noise
Adam and Ben talk a bit in this interview about why maybe people start then stop ‘being creative’ in their wedding photography, and why industry noise is to blame for this kind of thing.

Ben’s photography is romantic and creative and over the years he’s used a lot of artificial light and flash in his work. You can get mentoring with Elle to help in your own photography business through FedWed.
What is the FedWed Panel and why?
When we settled on the idea of a body that truly represents the wedding photo + film industry how we see it now and in the future we wanted to make sure we surrounded ourselves with a team. A team of amazing people, amazing artists and natural knowledge sharers. In this series we will introduce you to each member of the panel building up to the launch of our wedding photography and film mentoring options and the first panel advice discussions which will be posted soon too! Lots happening!
