Intuition
To ‘follow your intuition’ – something that we hear a lot about in life, and it’s no different for us, as wedding photographers: Listening to our ‘inner voice’, being guided by our intuition that ‘something good’ may happen here…it’s vital. Here are some guides by our TiR members exploring this:
This Is How: ‘Groomstick’ by Niels Gerhardt
Excited to have the fab Niels Gerhardt on the site today to tell us how he captured this recent Reportage Award-winning capture from Collection Five. Really insightful tips on following your intuition, shooting through a scene, and a specific tip about a particular camera setting that enabled him to get this image – a great read, thanks Niels!
This Is How: ‘The Selfie’ by Benjamin Toms
Really fab to have Benjamin Toms on the site today, taking us behind the scenes of his Reportage Award-winning capture from our previous round, Collection Two. Great insights into shooting through moments, trusting your instincts and more…
This Is How: ‘Peckish’ by Tim Millen of This Modern Love
A real pleasure to have the fab Tim Millen of This Modern Love on the site today, as he tells us all about this great capture of his – superb tips on light, patience, composition and more. Really great insights on what Tim calls ‘fortune favours the prepared’ too – such a great quote, and so true!
This Is How: ‘Crocodile At The Crossroads’ by Alexander Ziegler
A real pleasure to have the fab Germany-based This is Reportage member Alexander Ziegler on the site today, telling us how he got this striking dancefloor capture. As always with our ‘This is How…’ pieces, there are some fantastic tips and insights shared, including exploring the world from different perspectives, embracing light and shadows, imagination, and Alexander’s use of monochrome mode on his cameras….thanks so much, Alex!
This is Storytelling: ‘Life vs Dr Who’ by David Scholes
It’s an absolute pleasure today to have David Scholes on the site, taking us behind the scenes of his recent Reportage Story Award. Just the top 4% of submissions were awarded by our Collection One judges; to obtain a Reportage Story Award means the photographer has captured lots of different moments to an incredibly high standard, representing the very best storytelling in the business (which is always a massive goal for wedding photographers).
David shares fantastic insights into focusing on moments and feelings rather than technical things, framing and composition tips, shooting close and low, anticipation and layering, his OCF set up for the evening, and much more. It’s fascinating to hear in-depth analysis about so much from a wedding – thanks so much, David!
