Part One: Build the image above the light.

Light is undoubtedly the important factor influencing the canvas prints photography. Documentary wedding photographer must learn to observe the light, and in a limited environment consciously looking for light, infinite changes, in turn, control and use of the light, this is even more than the light quality (or intensity) can control the final success or failure of the image.

No.1 deal with the light in all kinds of weather

Sunny outdoor suggest don't choose the light around 12 o 'clock, because outdoor light is a hard, easy to leave people hard lines. Characters can be placed in the shade, but when people face a spot, can adjust the Angle of photography; Cloudy, clouds is the sun, a huge soft light source, the tonal and downy light, high saturation, make facial soft but lack of hierarchy, such as need some three-dimensional effect, as long as the simple use of flash can obtain good control Angle; If in a rainy day, please don't upset, this is the gift of god, we can set the reflection, the condensation of rain, to create the feeling of stars, you can also use slow door create silky feel, but I don't suggest a wide range of mobile and can be fixed in less than the rain shower.

No. 2 The character in the crisscross of light and shade

Characters of light and shade, is based on the orientation of the optical properties. Before filming, the note which areas in the light, which areas in the shadows, timely adjust characters and location of the shoot, create light and shade interweave, light displacement, and has artistic charm.

No.3 Poor light as far as possible when the people close to the light source

On the camera Settings can select a larger aperture and higher ISO, the character of the face towards the light source, as far as possible by light. Actually every time the bride makeup in time, I'm willing to do a special quiet scene. The room lights were at that time, there is only one window, I let the bride to the window to let the face as far as possible by light, and the metering, let no hidden places by light in the darkness, with such a heavy tone to foil the bride leaves, if I want to use the images are artificial light will light up, also won't get so quiet picture.

Still can use translucent curtain shade, downy light, and highlights and shadows is quite uniform. Sides of the window light will the bride really is like a piece of art treasures. Shadows of the ancient wall brick is clearly visible, dark and bright part divide the whole picture, so the added picture composition of quiet atmosphere, trance to travel to distant between the middle ages.

No.5 Combining artificial light and natural light

Sometimes natural light and man-made light can supplement each other to achieve perfect effect. Artificial light can change the environment color temperature, foil atmosphere at the scene.

6. The enchantment of the blue light time

Before the sun goes down or up for some time, the sky will appear blue, when the street lights go if more wonderful. For shooting has two characteristics, one is the environment subject contrast is small, the light is soft; Second, special light, the main body by light and street light can present warm color to move, and the sky is blue color, can clap a fascinating canvas prints portrait. This is known as magic moment blue-ray time taken. After 1 hour in the sun, the sky appears attractive blue color, the couple in a red light when a zebra crossing.

White part not only cling to each other with body content, in terms of content and color to cooperate with each other, such as color, light and shade, order, no matter from which part of the picture of harmony will be destroyed. Part of more white space is a continuation of the body, especially in the case of guide lines, lines should be paid attention to.

No.2 Open the composition of extending the imagination of the viewer

Open mode is relative to the enclosed composition. It emphasizes the pictures inside and outside contact, but don't pay attention to the picture of a balanced and complete, so he is unusual composition. Picture shows diversity and uncertainty, let viewers toward the picture outside imagination, combining his own imagination and the content of the picture form a complete works. So open the composition for wedding documentary photography, it is easier to show the plot.

No.4 the local composition characters find the beauty of details

In addition to environmental portrait photography and portrait photography, prominent eyes, nose, mouth and charming lines such as partial characterization of the body, also can bring a strong visual impact. Wedding photographer must be good at observation, can achieve implicative, interesting or more artistic conception canvas prints portrait photo. First of all, the local must be the most beauty. Secondly, with concise gimmick, background images are concise light; again, will enlarge aperture, make the background blur, highlight the theme.

No.5 Change the height of the flight, you will see different

Sometimes you just need to raise or lower ticket reservation, you will find very different composition, can bring to the viewer to see different view of visual perception. In the wedding photography, shoot and Angle is the composition of a commonly used technique of expression. Due to the Angle of view, the relationship between shoot results in the decrease of water level, the foreground objects, exaggerated, in order to gain special artistic effect. Contrary to shoot, the camera shot down by the high; give a person the sense with bend down. Taking pictures of higher level, the lens vision, surrounding environment can get the full performance. There is also a top way, this is the more extreme way, taking camera direction vertical to the ground, from the perspective of usually people cannot achieve, put some expressive model, made into a delicate picture composition. If it is taken, this also is a kind of unconventional perspective, the people and the environment of the three dimensional space into two plane, makes images have a certain appeal and aesthetic feeling.

Wedding photographer because of the limitation of filming in space and time will change numerous for brief, make classical lighting effects using simple method. Follow the principle of only one sun, looking for a light source, make its can depict the subject and achieve unexpected effect, better than exaggerated and complex lighting can use natural light, use the window side into the light, to choose a darker background can get quite downy light, this is the easiest and most can the effect way of portrait photograph. Also can use a flashing light, straight from 45 degrees of above characters according to the characters face, do not need any light steps can a butterfly effect of light.
