FIRST START

or
some practical advice so
who wants to become a wedding photographer.

 

Most important thing is not to confuse themselves with the wedding, General. Everything else is in your hands. Especially, if by chance you do not forget your camera at home. It is certainly not forgotten. If the usual guests are invited to the wedding feast eat drink and be merry, the photographer, unfortunately, there is no choice - he was invited only to have it worked. It is therefore very important that the newcomer, the first time In his hands at the camera as soon as possible learned this simple truth. Otherwise, if the dash weakness, the quality of work will be poor. This wedding photographer who respects the bride and groom, at work does not consume alcohol. For me personally - this is the first commandment.

 

Now, in order that a useful beginner in this delicate and even the temptation to. Once upon a time and I was also beginning. Sometimes it seemed nothing I did not succeed, failure harassed continually, like tried to skill, and often produces a pshik, worked as the lens, say the whole day, and in result, only some spots, toli white clouds in blue sky, toli veil on the head of the bride. Sometimes - even cast! And thoughts about profneprigodnosti not released. But thank goodness, patience did enough and I have no special loss this dark stage of doubt and disappointment in myself successfully overcome. Yes! Yes! If you do not let the dream to achieve international fame, but at least the normal ability to work, must needs be patient stock.  

 

 Equally important is how your relatives and friends will treat you uvlechniyu. Previously, you were a school teacher. Shop. Technicians repairing refrigerators. Or cutter in the tailoring atelier. But changing one's occupation, going on the creative path, you, breaks away from the past, and become artists. But art requires victims! Be prepared for the victims. Underestimate your flights of creative dreams, and relatives you will stubbornly repeat that the work of the photographer is that either there is a simple and very easy on the white light. «What is complexity? Know press button »! This maxim malopriyatno listen. And somewhat humiliating. But do not try to convince anybody. Let everyone remain in his or her opinion. You are a psychologist and a fine diplomat! Your relatives are also the extent to which the wise: «press» easy. But, at least, one must know where those buttons are not to be confused with the buttons on your own costume. In any case, keep cordial relations with family and friends, their good attitude to you as a professional, strengthens your own faith in their creative power.

 

Then finally early in the morning with a good mood and you have a camera on his shoulder appears on the threshold of the house, which now done a great sacrament - a new family is born. The house dust swipe and celebratory vanity ... bride in front of the mirror - the girlfriend to fiancee, help her dress. Fitting! Ahi Ahi! Shurschane starchy dresses. Telephone calls. The groom is also clearly overdue, he is somewhere stuck in atomobilnoy cork. Again with ahami Ochi. To you, to tell the truth, no one heeded. And this is just great, or who are not preventing you before then sat quietly aside and look. You are here still do not know and nobody knows you.

 

In fact, you are a foreign person, but natykayas look at you, people are gradually beginning to accept you as its own. And this is also good because of the Caribbean on you from them, that will certainly facilitate the daily work. You are here almost like a relative. And of course, everybody sees that you are humble beginner. You are uncertain of themselves. You hesitate. Not sure what to keep. And keep simple. And rejoice that there is additional time, once again mentally scroll through a program of the daily work.  

 

 Wedding ceremony clearly divided into three parts. Initially, will visit to the Palace of marriages where fataziyam your creativity as a photographer has no special place. But after the Palace - the full scope. This is part two - before the guests usyadutsya for the festive table, wedding cavalcade of machines rushes somewhere closer to flex the nature and breathe fresh vozhduha. This photo has already been over the edge. From the bride and groom do not leave! Experiment! Try to beat every song in a different perspective. The more staff to do - the more chances to get a good shot. But you know best! Find the most suitable background for the shooting: a shaded alley, coast, deserted and mysterious path in the park - will do anything that creates a tranquil mood of soul. Flap should not be. We should not listen to certain particularly active guests, always ready to «help» you «good» council and even to command you. Your work - remove the newlyweds. Focus your attention to them, rather than crowd Razgulyai guests. It is in these situations temper of a wedding photographer, his patience and perseverance. Most importantly, in these moments to remember - you are working, as they feast. But you must learn to combine the accuracy and rigidity.
Wedding walks are usually in the recreation parks. Or near any old nobleman's estate, in Moscow - Kuskovo, Ostankino, Tsaritsyno - there are fans in a memorable day will certainly go to Red Square. A matter of taste ... the truth, especially in crowded places like the same Red Square, novice photographer to work extremely hard. Even the most successful shot made here, always will be irreversibly damaged by two or three bystanders caught in the frame. Aesthetic value of such an image is reduced to zero. It is best, in my opinion, to be closer to nature.

 

Third, and most joyful part of the wedding - of course, the holiday feast. There are also songs and dances. And it is a decent drink to zakusonom. There are also a lot of work. I should note that beginning photographers will certainly try to fix molodzhenov, so to speak, in the reportage style leads them to delight or surprise gesture or posture is too emotional expression. These images evoke audience, even cheerful smile, and then wither and lose their attractiveness. Wedding photos - this is the basis of its image production. Klassicheskap pose the bride and groom together. It is - in the chair. It is near. Variations can be very different, but the expression of individuals is not random. Do not fleeting. It is best when in the eyes of love and tenderness. After all, a snapshot that will be stored in the family for many years. His grandchildren and grandchildren will rzglyadyvat - they will lyubovatbsya deduschkoy with the grandmother. And what and what they tell you a snapshot of where the grandpa is watching them screw up one's eyes with a sly eye, and to the disclosure babulya mouth full of salad «Olivier»? Grimaces are not needed! I have nothing against reportage pictures. All styles are good and everyone has a right to exist. However, that is suitable and should be in a newspaper photo with a football match, at a wedding looks alien. In addition to the three major stages of wedding it is often another. The wedding in the church! However, under the arches of the church situation does not allow the photographer too aktivnichat. But the color for the shootings edes предостаточно. By the way, visiting for the wedding, I always take the pre-holy blessing from the priest to hold photographs.  

 

 And a few practical tips that can help. In this paper we do not need too unnecessarily. Other «master», ostensibly to show their ingenuity, for example, put the bride to swell, and the groom and the following is closer to the camera, while forcing him to raise his hand open palm up and then find a position for a shooting that resulted in the picture pochuaetsya that the bride stands on his lodoni. This fokusnichane. And an ordinary stamp. The groom with the bride is always beautiful and happy without it. Ahead of their long life. We, wedding photographers, helping them to maintain the family happiness. Save at least in the photograph, their youth and beauty. The true master does not simply «click» and «clicks» - it is in every frame, the particle leaves its heart pure energy. Years pass. Any wedding otshumit, music stihnet, but how many years would not shoot - they open up a family photo album, to embrace each other and the soul of their smile as smiling prezhde.Portrety made us warm to them until the last day. What is the incredible responsibility we have to accept yourself, when early in the morning with a camera on his shoulder going to capture the stories, the most joyful and solemn day of bystroprohodyaschey life.

And the last. In accepting the invitation to newly married couples to take part in the festival, Master least let him think about the money. Personally for me the greatest reward comes when the grateful feedback after viewing my work. Helping people - this means that I live not in vain!
