Emotion
We witness the entire gamut of human emotion as a wedding photographer, and capturing it is everything to us. Here are tips about capturing emotion by our TiR wedding photographers:
This Is How: ‘Tears Of Joy’ by Johannes Morsbach
For the thirty-seventh in our ‘This is How…’ series, it’s an honour to welcome the Germany-based TiR member Johannes Morsbach to the site, telling us all about this emotional capture of his. Really great insights into why – and how – capturing real emotions are what it’s all about, being ready for the unexpected, being sensitive to a scene and remaining unnoticed, authenticity, not using flash, and more…
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: ‘Embrace The Awkwardness’ by Antony Turner
The twenty-fifth of our regular series of ‘This is How…’ posts brings us the fantastic Antony Turner, with his insights into this emotional capture of his. Really fantastic insights into trusting your instincts, leaving your comfort zone and ’embracing the awkwardness’…a lot of us, as wedding photographers, can struggle with this notion of being too close, and Antony’s words here about pushing through those fears in order to get such intimate captures as this are brilliant.
This Is How: ‘Father of the Bride’s Speech’ by Steven Rooney
In the twentieth of our regular series of documentary wedding photography tips we’re excited to have the fabulous Steven Rooney with us, telling us all about how he captured this emotional image. We love his thoughts on not only this specific capture (including his flash setup, and tips on context, composition and storytelling), but also weddings themselves; of being a Father himself and wanting the best for his three children. Thank you for sharing, Steven:
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…
