Wedding photography tips1. The number one and most important advice about booking photography is to choose the style that appeals to you. 2, In my opinion is better to choose studio that offers one of a few photographers and allow you to meet him/her as well as offer personal presentation of her work. A 3. Ask for samples from one wedding, it does not have to be the whole wedding but at least a selection of images that are taken the same date not over the course of few years. This will reflect the style in more detail way. 3. While not to many people ask about education, I feel this is really important in developing a photography style. I feel working on the style is on going process but the historical and educational perspective is needed to fully understand the trends in photography as well as the pioneer photographers who shaped this field. Knowledge about different forms of processes and effects are also thought that could be later exploit in the professional practices. Just like a doctors or a lawyer, there photographers should have a professional training to practice their profession. |
