What do wedding portrait photographers need?

A good photographer should have many conditions. From rich knowledge and insight to keen observation, diligent work and learning attitude, and enthusiasm for others. Photography itself is a visual art where thoughts and emotions intersect. The lens in the photographer's hand is just like the pen in the painter's hand, and it can accept the creative instructions of the master. As for how to stimulate the emotions hidden in the human heart to express, this is the direction that photographers should work hard.

As customers, they come to take photos to create beauty, which is the responsibility of wedding photographers. Most customers are ordinary people. You can't expect them to be perfect. There are no perfect people in the world. But at the same time, there are no ugly people in the world, and even if there are, they can be shaped into a unique image. Customers often say, "I'm not photogenic." In fact, it's not that he is not photogenic, but that he didn't meet a good photographer, which made him lose confidence. When is a person most beautiful? But revealing the truth and essence of human nature is the most beautiful. When everyone comes to this world, his appearance is impossible to choose, but everyone will have their own truest side. According to this truth, photographers should use the cooperation of mind and light, shadow, sound and gas to shape the natural beauty of the subject's true feelings.

First, communication skills If you want to shoot the natural beauty of human nature, you must know yourself before shooting. Photographers [1] are advised to fill in the Communication Design Form before shooting. Remember, let the customer believe that you are his sincere friend. If you can't convince someone about something, that's your weakness, because you haven't found a way to convey wisdom. To communicate perfectly, you need to keep in mind the following three points:

1. Thank them for giving you advice, filling out the communication form and taking photos.

2. Respect their opinions and suggestions and make detailed records.

While agreeing with their views, I hope they can accept your suggestion.

Second, prepare 1 before shooting, first look at the customer's clothes, what suits, and take some photos to conceive how to shoot.

2. Design shooting ideas, shooting methods, composition, lighting, infer the shooting process, so as to determine all shooting contents and results.

3. Carefully observe the customer's face, figure design and shooting style.

Third, the shooting guide Many customers are very nervous when taking pictures, and they are very uncooperative and cannot enter the state. Why?

1, the action is not suitable for customers when shooting. We suggest the photographer pose by himself, so as to capture your feelings.

There are generally two kinds of guests: arrogant and introverted.

Arrogance-status and taste may be higher (mostly at the top). The reason is that they don't trust photographers completely, so they must not be too polite to such guest photographers. First of all, when you first enter the studio, you should be greeted by an assistant. The photographer will be quiet, give him higher momentum, work for the assistant, and let him feel the authority of the photographer. After everything is ready, the photographer should pose with double goodwill and enthusiasm. Before each shoot, make the guests laugh with very humorous language. After a group of shots, continue to talk about encouraging words such as hard work, good performance, excellent play, continuous play and continuous efforts. , sent by the assistant. The photographer will then restore his arrogance, so that customers will feel-this is the real master. It is to increase my trust in you and cooperate more in future shooting.

Restricted-the guest level may be low (mostly low level). The reason is that they are not used to this environment. Such a guest photographer should take the initiative to communicate with him, say some nonsense and relax his nervousness. According to his occupation, talk to them about topics of interest, use related topics to make them laugh when taking pictures, and be more patient. This will make it easier for them to cooperate with you when they get into the state.
