How to improve wedding photography technology quickly?

First, take the initiative to ask and shoot trivia.

Generally speaking, when you buy a SLR camera, you will always get some initial shooting opportunities by sweeping the street or participating in offline photography activities organized by PChome Digital Video Club, but you will get some initial shooting opportunities through your own opportunities? Blind shooting? In fact, some basic points of photography are difficult to grasp. Some people want to sum up the gap between themselves and others by comparing the works of other photographers who also participate in photography activities. Yes, it's a good method. However, most of the offline photography activities are mixed with some commercial factors, and most of the invited professional photographers have strong post-processing ability. What exactly did you see on the forum? Master? what's up Homework? It took them a long time to get them out. For a person who has no photographic skills, the gap between the two is too great. Not only can he not improve himself quickly, but he is more likely to feel depressed.

Wedding photography is different. Because wedding photography may be a part-time job of some magazine or newspaper reporters, and wedding photography does not require high post-processing of photos, we often see some comparisons? Simple? Photos, if possible, we can even get access to unprocessed original photos, which is very helpful to improve our photography skills.

So how to participate in wedding photography, here are some suggestions for you. Face? Have a thick skin and take the initiative to ask a friend who is about to hold a wedding to do it? Deputy photography? Traditionally, photography and video recording are invited to the wedding. By observing the position where the photographer stood when shooting, or shooting the same photo from the same angle as the photographer, we can benefit a lot from comparing the data of the original film afterwards.

However, Bian Xiao doesn't recommend that you all go to the wedding? Main photography? Shooting, as a? Deputy photography? You can also shoot more tidbits of the wedding in progress. Main photography? The details that were not noticed, the wedding was the theme of the day, but the content was not defined. Through more observation, it is also the ability of a mature photographer to find out the details that others have not noticed, which is also a good way to lay the foundation for shooting landscape and humanistic documentary photography in the future.

Second, the comparison and processing of photo data

After the digitization of photos, post-processing of photos becomes more and more important, which is one of the fundamental signs that professional photographers are different from ordinary photographers. Isn't this for you to do with Photoshop? Out of thin air? , but? Icing on the cake? The therapeutic effect is still very useful. Bian Xiao suggested that you should save your full set of original photos after shooting an ordinary wedding. Then you'd better ask your friends for money? Main photography? Full set of original films and post-processing photos (some photographers may not provide full set of original films, but they may need to see how to negotiate with the photographer before paying).

By comparing your photos? Main photography? To compare the parameters of the photo? For example, the same indoor environment, how much ISO the other party uses, what shutter and aperture files are used, what shooting mode is used, and so on. And pay attention to compare the differences between yourself and the other party in framing and composition. Of course, in fact, because the other party must occupy a more favorable shooting position than you in wedding photography, in fact, if you compare the same shooting subject, you will still suffer.

If we can go further, we can compare the differences between the same photo before and after PS, and then take the original photo of the other party for later modification. The goal is to achieve the same effect as the other party's post-processing, so that our post-processing ability will be improved quickly.

Finally, because the content you shoot won't actually be the same as? Main photography? Exactly the same, and wedding photography itself emphasizes the documentary nature of photography. Therefore, through continuous training and improvement, pay more attention to the experience summary before and after wedding photography, and apply it to the usual photography activities. It is estimated that if you can participate in wedding photography for about 5 times, your photography level will be improved to a good height. If you master it quickly enough, you can even serve in the future? Main photography? A job.
