How to adjust measures to local conditions to shoot a good wedding photo

I shot in these years, met a lot of different environment, each place has originality, perhaps at first glance is not perfect, it seems difficult to use the lens to performance, but there are some rules to follow. I hope I can give you provide some practical and effective method, to solve the problems often encountered in the filming. Sometimes these difficulties is not difficult, you just need to jump out from the conventional thinking and treatment method, using appropriate technology, equipment and technique to foster strengths and circumvent weaknesses, adjust measures to local conditions, to play out the biggest advantage of the present environment.

First, in a noisy tourist area, build a vivid sense of reality

Aestheticism, atmospheric photos don't have to choose in the sparsely populated natural scenic area to shoot, bustling tourist spots or city streets instead to clap a different feeling, make people show, add vivid sense and documentary to photos.

I often travel in shooting wedding photos, they deliberately environments show, sometimes it is childlike children, sometimes the shuttle tourists, pedestrians, and even small animals, in order to increase the picture story, make the photos more give prize. The core principle is that when shooting in complex environment to highlight the main character, to do "does not deliberately deliberately". Not intentionally, it is refers to the surrounding show passers-by, their facial expression, action and reaction are real and natural; Deliberate, refers to the photographer to picture composition, light, Angle lens processing and processing of the couple's attitude also often need to guide and constantly adjust, such pictures will have the copy of the classic. Later still can through the software of processing, make the picture visual contrast between the two main body and the body more, so that the screen is prominent main body and won't appear clutter.

Second, the mirror effect, an excellent means to make the image more interesting

Mirror effect is suitable for almost any environment, especially in crowded and narrow space indoor filming, using a mirror can effectively avoid clutter in the environment, also can increase the dimensional feeling of images and visual interest, emphasizes the subject, or contrast, metaphor and other effects.

Mirror is an artifact, it's really fun and practical, especially in the wedding. Most wedding photography environment is not very spacious, and there are many people around, more appear cramped, then can reasonable use of mirrors, stressed the emphasis, lose the lose, make the picture have a key, interesting. It is important to emphasize that can produce the mirror effect, don't have to be a mirror, like glass desktop, marble ground, water, TV screen, metal profiles, or even a mobile phone screen, can be used for us. Mirror of different size, play a role, to achieve the effect also is not the same, the mirror's position is very critical, the photographer used to adjust the "distance", control the size of the "like", so that you can accurately by mirror images of each element of the present scale.

Third, light, shadow and complete, powerful

Most of the time, we are trying to avoid the disturbance of shadow, but sometimes ingenious use of shadow makes them produce unexpected interest and beauty. Like the other words, "the shadow can also be very beautiful, because it is light."

Photography is an art of light and shadow, and there is light to shadow, the process of photography is also the spotlight by the shadow of the process. Light and shadow together build up a picture of the soul. Of light and shadow changes we need to focus on the environment, learn to grasp the most beautiful, fleeting shadow instant, the key is to calm down to observe carefully and choose the composition, patiently waiting for the best time to come.

Fourth, the perfect combination of space and line

Before we talk about is each element in the environment and more complex situation, if the complex environment we should "change numerous for brief," and what's the matters needing attention about the simple environment? The less element means that the elements in the image of weight in the overall environment, the greater the more attention to by people easily. Photographer to be good at using the space finite element, form the rhythm on the picture composition or some logic. At this point, the items inside the space formed by the outer contour lines, is particularly critical, but also due to light irradiation to form a line of light. Line of horizontal, vertical, gathering and vanishing point, these are all we need to consider the problem. Effective use of the characteristics of line can make simple space more artistic and sense of rhythm.

Fifth, should be highlighted in the architectural character

There is a certain type of building environment is small, many photographers will not choose to take, feel each scenic spot, but the use of certain techniques combined with the late processing, can achieve a perfect.

If you want to highlights the characters in the grand building environment, the core is to build a comparison and contrast, this includes: the contrast of color, the contrast of light and the quality of contrast, the contrast and comparison of the actual movement, etc. In addition to make construction of broad sense, the character's attitude is also very important, you should choose some atmospheric body posture, won't make the picture appear weightlessness, the main characters in the picture doesn't have to see your face, more important is a feeling, a kind of momentum.

Sixth, black and white, coagulation time become eternal

Some people will always be certain of the black and white photos of misunderstanding, think it is a favorite of documentary photography, don't think the vast majority of Chinese people to accept their wedding photo is in black and white. Some photographers to take pictures of the bad directly to deal with the color, feel "black and white" is a FIG leaf. Colour of heavy and complicated, actually otherwise, skim will all things concise in gray level between black and white, more can highlight the photo at the core is the most precious. Black and white is not a documentary, it is artistic, is "like", is the representation of abstract expression. Appropriate use of black and white image can make the image more pure, theme more outstanding, and also can show a sense of reality and artistic lasting appeal.

The location in the bride's home, it's almost every wedding will take the makeup, makeup girl often choose to do for the bride in window edge shape, in order to avoid the window light, I added a light warm color light source in the front of the bride as she fill light. Subject to illuminate, the natural environment is weak. Because your time is early in the morning, so warm tone of artificial light contrasts with the window the cold tone of natural light, sometimes, the contrasts in the color temperature can also form a unique visual effect. However, in order to strengthen the theme, I later will be treated as images become flavour restoring ancient ways with little black and white, also want to highlight the timelessness of the frozen moment.
