"Wedding Photo" Guide Avoid Pits —— Young people taking wedding photos for the first time

1. This article only discusses the business content related to the photo studio in taking wedding photos. As for the technical information related to taking photos, such as how to take more beautiful photos and which scenic spots are more beautiful, it is beyond the scope of this article.

2. The purpose of writing this article is to record the "pit" I encountered in my recent wedding photos, and to give some hints to young people who are as confused as me, and at the same time to vent my dissatisfaction with a certain "* * travel photo" I chose, that's all.

Not all photo studios have conducted market research. If there is any bias in related matters, please correct me in time. Thank you.

Text start:

There are three main ways:

1, recommended by colleagues and friends: If there is a trusted colleague and friend's recommendation, and it has just been filmed recently, and you like the result very much, it is recommended to choose a friend's recommendation. In this way, a part of the "pit" can be eliminated theoretically.

2. "Review" website ranking: If you don't choose the photo studio recommended by colleagues and friends, you can check the relevant ranking on the "Review" website like us, starting from the top. At that time, we looked it up on the US Mission. The first one is far away from us, and the second one is close to us. It is also a very popular advertisement, "shoot wherever you want", so I went to this one first, and only this one (why only this one? At that time, I thought: on the one hand, the advertising bombing left a deep impression on us, on the other hand, we were not very good at taking pictures, so we didn't have too many requirements, so I thought.

3, advertising+blind selection: this is more random, mainly depending on fate, I will not go into details.

If you have requirements for taking pictures (style, scene, clothes, etc.). ), you can directly ask the photo studio to provide relevant customer samples to see the effect after you go. The number and effect of related photos can at least explain whether the photo studio can give you the desired effect. Even if we don't ask for more samples, we will sum up what styles this studio often shoots.

Don't believe anything: "photographers have been working for more than a few years", "we can't use photographers who can't shoot all styles" ... Talk about the mistakes made by our country and the revitalization of our country, please speak with facts!

In fact, we should not choose the studio before talking about the package. Usually, we are already talking about the package in the process of "choosing the studio".

The photo studio will have at least 2-3 packages for you to choose from. The main difference is that the higher the price, the more clothes you can shoot, the more photos you can extract, the more scenes you can shoot (interior, exterior, yacht, underwater ...), and you can choose different photo frames and photo albums.

Know what you want. Wedding photos are just like ordinary daily necessities. After listening to the introduction, I found it useless to buy it home. It is rare to hear someone see someone else's wedding photos hanging on the bedside, and the result praises "the photo frame of this wedding photo is really beautiful and really advanced!" Everyone's focus is still on the photo itself, so the material of the photo frame and the material of the photo album are really not particularly important.

After the initial selection of a set meal, it's time to "bargain". My girlfriend and I are clumsy at this point, and we really haven't cut out a word, but we can give you some advice from another direction: let the studio compare the selected bag with the more advanced bag one by one and explain to you what it is and what it looks like one by one. In this process, you can propose some substitutions or additions and deletions, and there is basically no objection. Remember, this is a higher-level package. Don't compare with the next package. If you choose the top package, please leave your contact information and ignore this one!

If you are not particularly anxious, you are not advised to make a decision too soon, and of course you are not advised to delay all the time. You just leave yourself a buffer period for calm thinking. On the one hand, we can avoid impulsive consumption and choose unnecessary content. On the other hand, the more time there is, the more content and space the two sides can talk about. -This article focuses on personal experience and grasp.

Jinding suggests paying at the lowest price, and don't go back on our word, just in case. All gifts and terms should be written on paper, and the oral content is unreliable. This article is suitable for many occasions, such as decoration.

Usually I will tell you a bunch of things to prepare before shooting, such as girls' hair color, shoes and socks for boys and so on. All of them will be explained in writing by the studio, which is always spoken, and you may not be able to remember them all. The following is a summary of what we were told to prepare at that time:

1. Girls dye brown or chestnut hair color, which is easy to get results after taking pictures;

2. Boys prepare: a pair of white socks and a pair of black socks (white shirt, black belt, white belt, black pants, etc. You can prepare as appropriate, and the photo studio will also have it);

3, * * * The same preparation: white shoes (if there is a street shooting style), apply a mask every night 2-3 days in advance, wash your hair on the day of shooting (conditioner is not allowed), and you can go to the photo studio to make up that day.

Take the flowers and confirm with the studio one day in advance whether they are provided. Why a day earlier? No one told us that we didn't hold flowers until we finished putting on makeup that day. We had to buy it ourselves and take it to a nearby flower shop. This is acceptable. A friend is the same, but worse than us. They said in the photo studio that day, "Buy 300 from us, or solve it yourself ..." They were forced to buy their 300 bunches of flowers and found that the flower shop was priced at 50 pounds. ...

The shooting process usually needs to be responsible for the lunch of the staff, basically three people (photographer, makeup, assistant), a normal lunch is enough, usually the shooting team will not ask too much.

If you have requirements for taking pictures (style, scene, clothes, etc.). ), communicate with the shooting team in advance, so as to arrange the whole day's itinerary in advance. Although it is not impossible to bring it up temporarily, everyone will be passive.

Confirm the weather in advance one day before shooting, and take an umbrella. Immediately after dressing up and changing clothes, spray sunscreen on exposed parts. If you don't wear sunscreen and catch up with the sun, you will see the dividing line of tanning when you put on a suit.

After filming, the studio staff will repeatedly emphasize to you that you have to make an appointment with them before choosing a film? Why, just because they are busy? Isn't it just copying the prototype, we choose the number of sheets stipulated in the set meal and finish reading the book?

Too young!

Before we go to choose photos, they will at least do the following work last night: delete the waste films in the shooting process, select photos with no less than the number of negatives specified in the package, and let the retoucher PS a version first (at least dim the light according to the urgency of time, etc.). ).

When you choose photos, they will at least carry out the following two rounds of screening:

The first round: delete those with bad expressions;

The second round: delete similar repetitive actions;

During the period, you may not be given the control of the mouse and keyboard for browsing photos as a whole, but they will have complete control, on the one hand, let you keep the photos, on the other hand, "like" the photos left.

At this time, I began to explain to you how the photo albums in the package are typeset and how the photos are distributed. How many photos can guarantee the best typesetting, and how many photos can guarantee that the typesetting style is not repeated!

-Please note that the above information about album typesetting was not mentioned in the photo studio before!

What exactly do they want? !

They just want you to add more figures!

The number of exquisite photos included in the package they set is far less than the number of photos needed for the album not to be typeset repeatedly in the package! For example, the package we choose includes 200 guaranteed negatives, 50 enhanced photos and 3 photo albums. Then, when choosing photos, the three photo albums they calculated on the spot need at least 106 photos if the photos are not repeated, so I need to select 56 more photos for refining.

Does intensive training cost nothing? Too young!

Every 80 yuan extra intensive training, 50 yuan discount, 56 and 50 fractions, will cost 2500 yuan more! His whole package is 4500 yuan. If I add 100, just shoot another set! So, I decisively refused.

Here, I don't ignore the work of the masters of retouching, and I don't suggest that you must not choose to add. The biggest reason why I choose to refuse (not only because I am poor, haha) is that they have completely prepared a series of routines to guide you step by step into these pits they dug.

If you haven't received the goods, take a pit first, and then continue to update with special content.
