Essential qualities of wedding photographers

Communication skills: Be sure to communicate well with the couple and the wedding emcee, be familiar with the wedding process, and determine what styles need to be arranged and what shots must be taken to avoid misunderstanding and omission.

Excellent shooting skills: there are many wedding photography scenes and complicated lighting. If possible, it is best to take the route in advance, choose several fixed shooting points and determine the parameters. If the situation is special and can't be dealt with, it will be twisted into P and ttl flashes. Raw has good late compatibility, and can be repaired as long as the exposure is within the positive and negative level.

Familiar with mainstream aesthetics: it's good to be creative, but not too much. If it is postmodern, it will definitely be complained.

Good health: heavy equipment and heavy workload. You have to practice your body to finish the filming. Especially for dark weddings, flash is used, and the depth of field is not enough; There is no need to flash, the sensitivity is not enough, and it is very tangled. Sometimes it can only be medium high sensitivity plus manual flash. It's really tiring to use an iron hand or tripod after a game.

Seriously, seriously again: Only serious shooting can guarantee the quality. From the initial communication to the preparation of equipment, to shooting and final correction, we can't be lazy.

Consciousness of self-protection: All filming must be signed in advance, at least with oral agreement and witnesses to prevent unnecessary disputes. At the same time, the finished works should be burned into a CD-ROM and kept for at least one year to ensure that customers will not lose their works due to accidents.
