Editing
When it comes to photography – and whether you like it or not – editing is a major, major factor. Whether that’s tips about Lightroom usage, dodging and burning, cropping, black-and-white conversions or more, it’s all so useful to know about, and can really elevate an already good capture into a great one. Here’s some editing tips and techniques by our TiR wedding photographers:
This Is How: ‘My Marshmallow’ by Alexis Jaworski
We absolutely adore our ‘This is How…’ pieces by our This is Reportage members; the way they share their insights and advice into such exceptional moment-capturing is just brilliant! Today is no exception, and it’s an honour to have the fantastic Alexis Jaworski taking us behind the scenes of his recent Reportage Award. Great insights into building relationships with not only your clients, but also the guests on the day, the difference a smile can make (spoiler: a huge difference!), and also an exploration of a different frame from the moment – thanks so much, Alexis!
This Is How: ‘Overwhelmed by Gratitude’ by Anji Martin of Potok’s World Photography
For our thirty-third ‘This is How…’ piece, it’s an honour to have the fab US-based TiR member Anji Martin of Potok’s World Photography on the site, taking us behind the scenes of this emotional capture. As well as sharing her before and after edit, Anji also shares some supporting images, as well as great insights into blending into the background in order to capture raw emotion, the practical advantages of shooting as a husband-and-wife team, lens choice, composition, storytelling and more…The particular story of this wedding, and moment, is also incredibly moving. Thanks so much for sharing, Anji!
This Is How: ‘Cinderella’ by Dan Morris
Excited to have the fantastic Dan Morris on the site today for the twenty-sixth of our regular series of ‘This is How…’ posts. Today, Dan is taking us behind the scenes of his recent Reportage Award, including great insights on capturing elements of the day that the bride and groom may not normally see, patience and observation, supporting images, and his before/after edit. Thanks so much, Dan!
