What is it that professional wedding photographers are better than ordinary people? Why do TA's works tend to be more beautiful and more meaningful and creative at the same time? How to close the gap between yourself and a professional wedding photographer?
Today, the photographer will share with you four professional wedding photographers.
1. Observe and communicate and explore the special connotation
In wedding photography, preliminary work is very important. The preliminary work is not only to be familiar with the wedding process, venue and shooting conditions, but also to communicate with the newlyweds.
After all, weddings place the couple's emotional details and are the best memories, which are often placed in many commemorative small objects; and how to find them
Let's look at an example:
The picture above shows an European-style clock in the bride's home, which seems mundane, but through chatting with the couple, the photographer learns that it is an important gift for a couple for life. Therefore, the photographer put their wedding ring on the clock and took this very meaningful picture for the newlyweds.
In addition, every time you shoot at the bride's house, the photographer can pay attention to some new family's wall calendar and desk calendar, circle the wedding date with a marker, turn on a wide aperture to take a close-up, and then adjust the color slightly to make the picture have a little fresh LOMO style, and a photo with special commemorative significance will come out:
Don't just stare at the newlyweds and the wedding ceremony itself, properly add these unique commemorative details, your wedding photos will be more vivid and meaningful.
2.
Some photographers like to direct the newcomers to put out a satisfactory POSE before shooting.
This kind of picture may be more beautiful, but it is not real and natural enough, which makes people lack the emotion and aftertaste to blend into it. If you only take pictures like this, it makes people feel that there is something missing.
Photos that can be immediately recognized as staged shots are attractive but lack naturalness.
When shooting, photographers should try their best not to manipulate and affect the natural state of newcomers.
As shown in the picture below, when photographing the bride wearing the wedding dress, the photographer did not focus on the beauty of the wedding dress, but focused on the details of what her best friend wore for the bride.
With a lower tone, the picture is full of best friend's silent blessing and reluctance to say goodbye to the newlyweds. This kind of real and natural picture is full of scene:
After putting on the wedding dress, the bride sat by the bed thoughtfully. Seeing her clutching the hem of her wedding dress, the photographer immediately took a close-up.
This small detail reflects the complex state of mind that the bride was nervous and looking forward to at that time.
Shoot this kind of thing.
After all, most people are more or less shy and nervous when facing the camera. If I had more communication with the newcomers before,
3. Combine work with rest to capture moving moments
In the preliminary work, there is a very important content, that is, to understand the wedding process. At some important time points, you need to be more focused and capture some memorable and fleeting moving moments.
For example, the bride and groom take the first step from the float hand in hand:
The moment when the newlyweds offer tea to their elders:
And before taking the oath, the newlyweds faced each other with four eyes full of warmth with excitement:
These.
4. Ingenious composition to create a unique picture
If you want to shoot an impressive wedding work, it is not enough to have solid skills and good equipment. You'd better use some new and original perspectives and composition to create the uniqueness of the picture.
For example, the photographer knew that there was a time when everyone was throwing flowers together at the wedding, so he lay on the ground in advance, used a wide-angle head and made a photometric composition in advance, and then used a high-speed continuous shot to capture the moment when the people raised their hands and scattered their petals to prepare for the fall.
This kind of unconventional upside-down shooting effectively avoids the messy background of the ground, and the picture is more concise and vivid, but also has a sense of scene:
Frame composition is also a common routine. You can use some scenes as occlusion to make ordinary pictures peep, and you can also shoot scenes with a sense of nature:
It's obviously a pose, but it looks like a sneak shot or a snap.
Framing is easy to use, but if you only know how to use it, it's not enough and further innovation is needed.
To
On the other hand, more thoughtful and creative people will use the rearview mirror (either in the center or on both sides of the car) to make a reflective frame composition:
If you want to be more innovative, you can also use window glass.
If you want to improve your innovative ability, you have to accumulate more at ordinary times. Take a look at other people's works, see what creative shooting methods, learn from yourself, and then innovate on this basis, get twice the result with half the effort!
