Nine Skills of Novice Wedding Shooting

Lead: There are more and more people taking pictures now, and almost everyone on the street also owns a SLR. In fact, the wedding is not as simple as I thought. Many people think that they can take good photos with expensive photographic equipment. There are many details to pay attention to how to shoot and arrange well. Before you decide to take the job of wedding photography, you should measure whether you can really do it well. Here are 9 skills that I have carefully arranged for your novice wedding. Welcome to refer to them!

(1) attitude

Don't be too serious at this happy moment of the wedding. Not every photographer has seen the couple before the wedding. If you can make couples feel comfortable, you can take natural and warm photos.

(2) Clothing

Don't dress too grand, but don't be too casual. Clothes should be light and comfortable to facilitate work. A pair of comfortable shoes is very important for wedding photographers, because you have to walk around all day to capture every moment!

(3) Invisibility

As a wedding photographer, sometimes you have to know how to be invisible. Many people will look unnatural after seeing the camera, and sometimes it will be better to take pictures of their true feelings!

(4) Preparation

Go to the venue early to communicate with a couple and see the lighting angle. Adjust the camera first and see what settings are needed in the scene environment. It will be too late to adjust it when the wedding begins.

(5) Alone time

Use some spare time to take photos of couples alone, and don't let others stay away from the crowd together, so that couples will look more comfortable and natural.

(6) Don't ignore the layout.

Every detail of the wedding, from the arrangement, flowers, gifts, etc. A couple spent a lot of time, remember to take it as an ornament in the photo album!

(7) Equipment

Remember to check all your equipment before you leave-does the memory card have enough memory? Is the camera charged enough? Do you have a spare battery? Don't forget the external flash.

8) Command

When taking a group photo, it will be difficult to control the scene because there are many people. At this time, the wedding photographer should take the initiative to become the conductor and tell them where to stand and prepare to shoot. Don't be shy!

(9) Angle of frame

Try not to shoot with "low imitation" because they don't like being photographed by others. Trying to shoot at a high angle may have unexpected effects.

Finally, in fact, the most important thing in a wedding is your heart. If you don't devote yourself wholeheartedly, you can't take pictures of people!
