Photography Techniques Portraits
Wedding photography information?

I am heavy into photography and have been doing it for a while now. I’m an advanced amateur going to be shooting a wedding for my sister in December. It isn’t going to be anything professional and I am not asking her for money. She said she loves my photos and the angles I take and my technique so she wanted me to shoot the wedding. I’ve never done wedding photography before, usually lots of portraits, landscapes, and action shots.

What should I look out for and make sure I do while I’m shooting the wedding?

I have spoken to my sister and she has told me what shots/kind of shots she wants for the wedding overall, so, I will have to go with what she wants for most of the shots. But are there any tips from wedding photographers out there? I am very interested in your insights, thank you in advance.

I’m sure you’ll do great baby, you don’t need anyone’s help or advice. =)

Lighting Techniques for High Key Portrait Photography by Phillips, Norman Edition ILL, 0


$28.99


Photographers will learn from a master the impact and beauty that can be created through the precision creation of high key portraits. In photography, the word key is used to describe the overall tonal range in which the photograph is created—including the background, subject, props, and clothing. If the tones are very light, the image is called “high key.“ Because photographers often neglect to consider the impact of creating images in a controlled key, many portraits fall short of their potential. This book provides helpful guidelines for selecting the best lighting equipment and light modifiers for efficiently creating high key portraits, as well as detailing techniques needed to select the perfect clothes and props for a high key portrait.
