Bonding
Getting to know our couples; becoming part of the wedding itself so that guests and family can feel totally themselves in front of us as the photographers – this is incredibly important. These are pieces which specifically offer tips about bonding with couples/guests; the reasons why, and exactly how they create this bond:
This Is How: ‘The Red Balloon’ by Klaus Heymach
A delight to have Germany-based TiR member Klaus Heymach on the site today, sharing his thoughts about this great capture. Great insights into becoming part of the wedding, and I especially love this quote from Klaus, which couldn’t be more true: “If you concentrate only on the really big moments, you may miss such small, inconspicuous ones.”
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: ‘London Calling’ by Hannah Hall of Red on Blonde Photography
Today we’re honoured to have the fantastic Hannah Hall from Red on Blonde Photography on the site, telling us all about her recent Reportage Award. It was incredibly tough to get an award, with only the top 2% of submissions being awarded by our Collection One Judges, so we’re thrilled that Hannah has taken the time to bring us her insights into this capture; fab tips on working with available light, reflections and composition, getting in close and low, building rapport and trust, patience and more…
This Is How: ‘Waiting For The Moment’ by Nikhol Esteras Roberts
Delighted to have the brilliant Nikhol Esteras Roberts on the site today to tell us all about this brilliant capture. In the thirty-fourth of our ‘This is How…’ series, Nikhol shares her great insights into having a connection with her couple (and the benefits that brings), tips on taking time to observe and thus help predict future events, capturing personalities and relationships, composition, and waiting for the moment…
This Is How: ‘Promises’ by Michael and Hannah Jackson
In the seventeenth of our regular series of ‘This Is How…’, the fab Michael and Hannah Jackson (of Jackson & Co Photography) take us behind the scenes of this brilliant image. Such interesting insights into capturing emotion, storytelling, editing, working with videographers, knowing your equipment, and much more…
