Composition
Composition is easily one of the most important aspects of an image – and can quite often be the difference between a good capture, and a fantastic one. Therefore, it’s only apt that we have lots of ‘This is How’ pieces by our TiR wedding photographers that specifically contain wedding photography composition tips:
This Is How: ‘The Flower Girls’ by Justine Boulin
For the thirtieth of our ‘This is How…’ pieces, it’s an honour to welcome This is Reportage member Justine Boulin to the site today. Justine takes us behind the scenes of her recent Reportage Award, with fantastic insights into not interfering or directing in order to capture meaningful moments and capturing the true essence of people, patience and observation, using available light, storytelling, focusing on the moment, and much more…
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!
This Is How: ‘More Than A Feeling’ by Liam Shaw
For the twenty-ninth of our documentary wedding photography guides, I’m excited to welcome the brilliant Liam Shaw of York Place Studios to the site, sharing his thoughts on this fantastic capture. Really great insights into capturing atmosphere and the true essence of a scene, utilising dance floor lights to intensify emotion, visual impact, composition and more…
This Is How: ‘A Different Perspective’ by Dominique Shaw
For the twenty-eighth of our ‘This is How…’ posts, we’re honoured today to have the fantastic Dominique Shaw of York Place Studios with us, taking us behind the scenes of this wonderful capture. Dominique – who was one of our Collection One judges – shares brilliant insights into the importance of looking past the obvious, composition, patience, storytelling and more. Thanks so much Dom!
This Is How: ‘The Groom’s Flipside’ by Pete Farrell
We’re honoured to have the fantastic Pete Farrell of Pixies in the Cellar with us today, telling us how he got this recent Reportage Award. Really great tips on story-telling, capturing reactions, anticipation, composition and more…
