As a photographer, what practical skills do you have when shooting a wedding?

Fully understand the wedding process before shooting.

Wedding shooting is a great test of the photographer's skills, because in the wedding shooting scene, besides the fixed seats, photographers need to follow. So it may test the level and skills of photographers to a great extent. In fact, the skill of wedding follow-up shooting is to make some adequate preparations and arrangements for the preliminary preparation of shooting from all angles. The more fully prepared, the more conducive to live shooting.

Good follow-up skills can save a lot of time.

I believe many people will see photographers taking pictures at the formal wedding scene. In fact, the photographer's preparation work is also quite complicated. Doesn't mean you can shoot a wedding with a machine at will, which is extremely irresponsible. For an experienced photographer, you can save a lot of time just by understanding the wedding photography skills behind it. Let me give you some examples.

camera lens

The first is the choice of lens. In the formal follow-up process, the choice of lens is very important. The right lens can shoot the effect that newcomers want. For example, for people shooting, you can use standard or telephoto lenses. Generally speaking, its range is 50 to150 mm. In short, before the official opening of the wedding, we must choose the lens in advance and adjust the parameters of the lens and camera. In order to avoid making adjustments when it is officially opened, you may miss many details in a hurry.

Snap a photo

The second is to test the photographer's ability to capture. Because there will be many small episodes at the official wedding scene, if you are an excellent wedding photographer, you actually need to pay attention to these small details in the follow-up process. In the whole process, you need to capture some interesting or touching pictures. These pictures are timely and fleeting, and photographers need to have keen observation and capture them in time. Only in this way can we prepare for the later editing.

I believe that after reading the above information, everyone has a certain understanding of the skills of wedding photography. In fact, shooting itself is a technology, and it also contains certain technology in the preparation process. In short, as a follow-up photographer, his workload is still quite large. If you want to shoot better, you need to make full preparatory work before the official shooting to ensure the smooth progress of the work.
