The photographer's preparation before shooting.

1. Look at how many sets of clothes the customer has, what sets, and how many photos to take, so as to conceive the feeling of how many photos to take. 2. Design shooting ideas, shooting methods, composition, lighting, infer the shooting process, and be aware of all shooting contents and results.

3. Carefully observe the customer's face and body shape, and design the 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 that the photographer pose 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. Camera spirit

Camera spirit is an individual's subjective and objective attitude towards what is happening in the world environment. Photography is definitely not limited to relying on equipment. Relying on equipment is definitely not a deep understanding of the camera and a spiritual understanding of the camera, and there is absolutely no thinking and understanding of the relationship between the essential gap of human nature and the common ground of human nature! The lens is sometimes an interactive attitude between the photographer and the guests, forming a transformation form and giving a demonstration in front of the public! The camera is the photographer's eye, and talks to the world in the lens through the lens.

Getting a new body or lens can stimulate your passion for photography. If you have been using a wide-angle or ordinary lens, maybe you can try telephoto. Try to observe each new couple from another angle, even if they wear the same clothes, they will still capture different happy pictures. Take your camera. Once you feel inspired or have the opportunity to shoot, you should be able to shoot anytime, anywhere. Don't let inspiration pass you by. Every mature photographer should have his own style!

These styles all come from personal cultural background, outlook on life, aesthetics, personality, mood and so on. But at the same time, because of these factors of everyone, they are constantly changing and making progress! So the style is constantly changing.

Some people say that in the photography circle of wedding photo studio, your development will be more or less limited because of environmental restrictions, customer aesthetics and so on. How do you balance these?

It is necessary for us to reiterate our understanding of "style" here. Style is not unique to a mature wedding photographer, nor can you get it after it. It is the accumulation of your cultural and artistic accomplishment, your understanding and view of things, and another aspect of your world outlook. In today's view, wedding photography and customer aesthetics are difficult to unify, which limits the development. That's because you haven't set foot in wedding photography, haven't figured out what each guest wants, or you can't control the quality photos that guests need. As the saying goes, the details can't be mastered in one day, and it takes a long time to master. When learning to write, people should copy famous works and practice constantly in order to write well. The calligrapher's understanding and unique views on fonts are reflected by his experience accumulated through hard study and training, plus his thinking and organizational ability. In the aesthetic dictionary, style is the world view, but you can't say that your shooting has no style. It should be said that your style is still immature and does not conform to the market economy, but your shooting has not grasped the guests' love and hate.

Style is your understanding of beauty. Every wedding photographer has his own style. Even if he surpasses or innovates, he still has his own style. Only when customers applaud you can you be "really good".

A keen sense of fashion and artistic creation and renewal are the driving forces of shooting passion. The arrival of the digital age makes it easier for people to take wedding photos, and many technical problems have been solved, but at the same time, people have lost a lot, such as the delicate texture shown by film photography. It may be easy for people to get a technically acceptable photo, but the texture is lacking. Not only the texture, but also the habit of thinking.

If conditions permit, please take as much film as possible, then develop it by hand and develop the photos in the darkroom. It will definitely make photography interesting again. There is no need to change the whole world for a new photo. All you need is a pair of sharp eyes and the right attitude. How long has it been since you took a good look at the ordinary things around you and found something new in the ordinary? Have you noticed the angle, lines, light and beauty of those "perspective" wedding shooting places? Stop, think deeply, and look with your heart.

Only in photos can moment and eternity coexist. The passion of shooting is to light the torch of eternal moment. The flame will not go out, and the passion will not change.

Please remember that taking pictures with your digital SLR, a decent lens and a determination to swear to work hard will make your shooting more passionate.
