This Is How: ‘Making An Entrance’ by Pete Henderson
Excited to have the brilliant Pete Henderson on the site today, talking to us about how he got this great wedding breakfast entrance capture (a part of the day that can be very difficult indeed to capture so creatively). A super-interesting post, with Pete sharing great insights into balancing the capture of atmosphere/available light, with wanting to make his bride and groom stand out by using flash, great tips on his exact flash setup, pre-focusing, patience, post production, as well as a great little tip about having a ‘backup plan’ for moments like this. A brilliant read!
This Is How: ‘A Virtual Moment’ by Sacha Miller
We’re thrilled to have the fab Sacha Miller on the blog today, taking us behind the scenes of this fun capture. Great tips on what we, as documentary wedding photographers, can do during the ‘quieter times’ of our coverage, storytelling, lens choice and more…thanks so much, Sacha!
This is Now
We’re in the thick of wedding season at the moment, with photographers working flat out documenting couples’ weddings the world over. In the first of a new, regular series for us, we want to showcase some of our members’ current work – the moments they’ve been capturing (and editing, oh yes, all that editing!) recently.
It’s an absolute delight to see such a variety of different recent moments – and the variety of ways our different members captured them, with each photographer having their own distinct style. A real pleasure to see what our members are witnessing – and capturing! – during their recent weddings.
This Is How: ‘The Tequila Shot’ by Marta May Photography
Brilliant to have Marta May on the site today to tell us about this Reportage Award from Collection Two. Marta has won two awards with us now, over two different collections – no mean feat! It’s so interesting to read her insights into how this image was captured, about the intrinsic benefits of shooting as a duo, and the importance of capturing real moments. Really recommend reading this; a great piece, thanks Marta!
This Is How: ‘Two Faces’ by Anna Poole
Honoured to have the great Anna Poole of Luna Weddings with us today, taking us behind the scenes of her recent Reportage Award (Anna actually won two awards in Collection Three; an incredible feat, with only the top 4% of submissions awarded worldwide). Really great insights into getting creative, spotting opportunities, off-camera flash, patience, persistence and more. Anna also shares other images from the series she took, as well as a SOOC file. So interesting; a brilliant read!
