Understanding the Photographer
Even if the wedding you have decided to make the most modest, there are moments which can not be avoided. This photography. You do not want to stay without pictures of the most important moment of your life together, which can be shown to the envy of your friends, and then the grandchildren to enjoy? A wedding album that did not have to hide from sight, the photographer must choose from the mind.
Meet with the photographer in advance.
There are several ways to find a photographer for your wedding (we will consider this in more detail in a separate article). For example, you can ask a married friend’s phone is the guy who was shooting at her wedding, or find a photographer for the ad. But whatever the recommendations, be sure to Meet with the photographer themselves, and at least one week before the wedding! Everything is important: your first impression, his manners, clothes, quality equipment, which he enjoys, his proposals - as he sees your album, and of course, the cost of services. Some photographers even offer a special event - Pre-Capture. Last week couple comes to the studio to make a portrait photo. You can evaluate the work of the photographer, in practice, to note the nuances, and if you do not like something, then find the other pros. Money just for taking portraits. Even if you decide to cancel the service photographer, you still have pictures and you will save nerves and money, which could spend on a wedding. If the Pre-Capture not possible, at a meeting with a photographer, consider the following things:
Pay attention to the first impression of the person of the photographer. It must be must be positive. You are unlikely to be able to smile at the camera man that you do not like, or feel at ease with those who you are confused;
Note demeanor of the photographer and the extent of its discretion. On the wedding day you will annoy and irritate absolutely everything - even the tough macho man in such days drink valerian. And even if overfamiliarity quite satisfied with you, that your great-aunt, she may not like it. And you do not want the family scandals at the ceremony.
Look closely at his clothes.
First, by the way people dressed, you can tell a lot about his sense of taste. And secondly, just in case have to ask - whether the photographer costume, suitable to your chosen dress code. Jeans and Hawaiian shirt will be an eyesore to men in tuxedos and ladies in evening dresses.
If the overall impression of a pleasant, go to more serious things. Review portfolio (examples of works) photographer. New users also are talented, but the photographer, who has experience in shooting, is preferable. He did not flinch hand at the crucial moment and there are spare batteries instead Grounded. Meticulously evaluate the quality of photos and mood. For each master their own style, and most likely, your photos will be something to remind of his previous work. If the photographer has a website, do not take the time to study it.
Pay attention to technique, with which the photographer works. Even if you do not understand in the cells, enough to understand one thing: a digital “soap box” good shots are those of the Outer Limits. The lens of the camera is not designed for close-ups, moving objects in low light … and it is impossible to put a special moment - it should catch. Therefore, the photographer must be a good camera with interchangeable lenses. On whether digital or film cameras better - the issue is still controversial. But a good photographer and the “figure”, and “film” lift quality and beautiful.
P.S. If your photographer has passed strict casting, the case for small. Specify the details of future location, make your master exact plan the wedding - how, when and where they will. Warn about their physical or psychological characteristics: for example, you can easily blush of embarrassment or fear of the camera. The more the photographer will know about you, the better able to convey the unique state of mind which distinguishes the pair even in the standard photographs.
