Wedding Photography Tips

Photography can be defined as a process of recording light. The quality of a photo depends on our care in selecting a good light.

In wedding photography, among the main factors that play a role in determining a successful assignment is the ability to get creative pictures, apart from the rest, and in accordance with the personality of the bridal pair. 


Many processes that occur behind the scenes in producing a work that can attract the bride and the public feeling. 

What I want to share here is one of the branches in the field of wedding photography, a how to get good pictures compatible with the surrounding atmosphere and personality of the bride. For I am involved in this field, I try to follow these steps to renew, to differentiate, and expression matching bride and groom with their surroundings. This is important because every bride is different, and how we disclose their expression in the picture also requires different techniques.


Studying other photographer's work 
  • Do not limited our selection to only see results that our photographer working interest in it, but try to find a photographer who has a different style to us to make comparisons or to see if their style according to the bride that we took the picture. 
  • Look at the corner of their composition, whether they have a style that you have never seen all this? 
  • Try to work with the photographer, the other photographer your results, whether the elements can be included.
 
Communicating with the newlyweds
  • Meet them and know them more closely if the opportunity. This is important to know their personalities, so you can be ready with the concept that you create for them. 
  • Usually shy Bride does not like the action on the 'happy' as jumping or running, while the cheerful bride will feel bored if you are talking or not pro-active in directing your way.

Try different angles 
  • This is useful if you have two or more different types of lens space. For example, in an action of the bride standing in the middle of the field, the use of wide-angle lens will affect the surrounding environment, while a 200mm lens, you can focus only on their facial expressions alone. This can save time and diversify choice when making the album soon. 
  •  Take pictures from 3 different angles can also get different and interesting results. For example, the bride I was sitting, if taken in terms of ground level, above eye level and the level of the head can have a different impact, even if the position remains the same bride.

Survey of the prior location 
  • This can be quite difficult to do if the ceremony is outside the country that we live, but if there is a chance, go visit the first location where we will take the outdoor session with the bride. 
  • This is important because you can pre-visualize what you want to be in place with the bride, and also be able to take tips on the movement of the sun, and what can be done if the rain on that day. 
  • This can save time and use time in the session is very efficient because no wasted time to think and develop ideas.
 
If the above matters can be inculcated in the minds of every time we want to go out taking pictures, God willing we can produce a quality a quality of work and in accordance with the requirements of the bride, because ultimately they are our customers and with you, they are entitled to feel satisfied with what they paid for and expect a product that meets their tastes.

Reflection of the life of street photography

SAY people, visual acuity of a photographer like an eagle. Or is it? Not the intention to describe the words of truth, but as a photographer is recognized that visual acuity is important to focus on the details of each object or incident which is seen. 


An interesting thing in photography is street photography in general terms among photographers known as street photography. 

In terms of definition, it means using the direct technique will produce the literal view, natural and native to a particular subject or situation. 

The technique dates back to the 18th century to the beginning of the 19th in Europe in conjunction with the creation of 35mm cameras that can be carried anywhere. 


Most of the work of street photography produced in 1890 and 1975. French photographer, Henri Cartier-Bresson among the early pioneers. Era 20's, giving ample space to introduce the works of street photography. 

Unlike the photo journalism (photojournalism), which is exclusive and often produced by a single focus in mind. This aspect is directed in documentary form that can be sold to newspapers and magazines as the main ingredient. In nature, photo journalism can produce heavy news just by getting what is happening at the scene. 


Street photography can be translated into various forms of shooting as long as a foundation that does not conflict with the elements of photography. Simple techniques (candid) or directly can be categorized as one aspect of street photography. It also generated while walking down the street and take pictures without any purpose. 

Mostly covers the aspects of life, modes of society, socio-cultural system, behavior and environment. In detailing the subject of street photography, it would have related to human nature. Concentrated at locations open and specific example: around the streets, public places, metropolitan areas, over the village, daily markets, shopping complexes, historic buildings and others that can be translated this work in the form of street photography. 


Not the authors intention to unleash every detail of the location but it was enough to make the base location for 'war' with the work and the identity of the image itself. And independent scope as well as the basic field street photography. 

Sometimes the images recorded by leading to even it newsworthy enough to translate what is happening in the community environment in general.

Creative 

Not all the images recorded have values ​​and basic, but in the context of news photography street photography it is more directly and have a creative point of view. In producing a creative work, a photographer must be sensitive to the surrounding circumstances. It also depends on the basic knowledge and skills of photography techniques. 


The main role should be emphasized is communication skills. Medium of communication between the main aspects of the basic street photography. If this is not looked into seriously, then it will 'kill' as a whole creating works which are chiefly in the context of human elements (human interest). 

Street photography as a medium (medium) has initiated a work-free for amateurs in particular. It is not surprising if the classes or widening the scope of discussion among them. Furthermore, the emergence of a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex) are cheap and easily available. 


While walking around the city of Kuala Lumpur, I was greeted former photographer who has pioneered the street photography. He indicated the letter through the observation point if playing with the environment. 

'' Do not just look, look at the context of a more distant,'' said Omar Rizal on the environment if it is to 'fight' with the work of street photography. Age at dusk, but the experience and perspective about photography quite valuable. 

'' First time black and white. Process quite expensive hardware requirements. Not in the era of technology, you already know. My own grandson 15 years old already has his own camera,'' he said. 


Although the technological era without borders and the revival of the pre-photography era but the beginning of the emergence of photography should be taken into account. A professional photographer once told me:'' In the world of photography all done, we just repeat only. 

"Do not try to declare a major trigger as in the case now. Nothing to be proud of in addition to producing works that can be measured in common currency," said Abu Haniffah Darmansyah. 

Various forms of work could be translated into street photography. It is free as long as we are faced with daily activities and what is happening around the environment. Sometimes it can make this practice as a hobby. The views expressed by Kamal Sellehuddin professional photographer who is with an agency in Canada. 


'' Before, the time in Malaysia for six years I served the English-language newspaper, photography has become part of my hobby. Here (Canada), I was still practicing the same basic street photography. Unlike in Quebec who set the law in which the photographer had to ask permission to take pictures of subjects in advance. 

"Although such a situation, but still possible if the consent of the individuals that we record. To avoid any problems, leave enough signal requested by bowing before the recording starts. 

"All this is emphasized when the abuse aimed at embarrassing pictures taken of individuals in the picture or the picture used for exploitation (commercial advertising) without the consent of the individual. This practice activities that are not healthy,'' he told the writer. 

The author's experience in a professional working in mainstream newspaper journalism photo shows the photographer should be 'patient' in the piece that can be upheld an art production. A professional photographer once commend this order: "As long as there is life or new birth, as long as the photographs will not be extinct''.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

Photography wedding photography is one of the most popular genre now. This wedding photography began in tandem with the creation of the camera. At the beginning of the 19th century, couples who wish to take photos or record our wedding portrait, must go to the photo studio. Photographic equipment at the time, big and heavy and difficult to carry to locations. Different from the present development, the newlyweds can choose to shoot photos in the studio or outside the studio.
 

In the decades around the 1970s, the wedding photographer began using daily work. With the case, the birth of a documentary-style wedding photography or candid. Changes in technology also helped this trend is growing more rapidly. Now, cameras and photographic equipment smaller and lighter and easier to go to the location. As a result, photographers can produce documentary-style wedding photos with good lighting.
  
There are two main approaches are commonly used by wedding photographers, the traditional and photo journalistic approach. In the traditional approach, is usually "worn" by the photographer in each photo was taken. Differ from photo journalism style approach, will combine elements of photography and candid style of photography, as practiced in newspaper publishing.


Currently, there is a third trend is increasingly popular among photographers, the fashion-based wedding photography. Photographer will create images inspired by the leading fashion magazines in the market. Couples will be styled as if they were to shoot fashion.

The camera is suitable for you who like to 'crop' a picture.

Nikon D3200 DSLR camera is in a reasonable price to have. Megapixelnya relatively high at 24.2 megapixels for you who like to print pictures on the size of the 'giant'.

If we choose the size of the 'fine' for a image size is 11MB (6016 x 4000). This size is suitable for you who like to 'crop' in the picture.

I share the original example image on the frame as shown below (the size is reduced).


The picture below is already in the 'crop' to 1800 x 1200 (the actual size of the 'crop', click on the picture).


Another example of the picture.


The picture below is already in the 'crop' to 1800 x 1200 (the actual size of the 'crop', click on the picture).


I prefer to use 100% (at least 90% of megapixel in the camera) when compared to the 'crop' after the shoot.


Good to learn :-)
