Weddings are a special moment for a couple that they’ll remember for the rest of their lives. For a photographer, they present an opportunity to capture absolutely unique romance and tension that you’d never be able to photograph anywhere else.
Learning how to take these shots is a great way to take advantage of that photography demand area, since being versatile helps you build your business and take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way.
When you’re photographing a bride, there’s a lot to encompass: you’ve got a beautiful background, ideally, but you want nearly all the focus in the photos to be on the bride herself.
Nailing the perfect shot doesn’t always have to involve endless posing or complicated lighting. Sometimes you can capture a magical photo just by thinking outside the box and using an everyday item in an unexpected way.
When you work as a photographer, you’re often dealing with subjects who aren’t professional models. This puts more responsibility on you to coax good poses out of the subject. Today, I’d like to give you some useful tips for doing this when your subject is a man, or someone who wants to portray a masculine image.
I have two businesses, working in both online education and as a wedding event photographer, and I love my work—it’s definitely a dream job for me. I also make fantastic money from it: more than six figures from each side of the business is my net yearly pay, after expenses.
As a working photographer, most of my shoots are for other people. Whether it’s weddings or commissioned portraits, I don’t get a lot of time just to explore my own creativity. But I recently had the perfect excuse to set up a shoot just for fun, and I ran with it.
As a photographer, you know that it’s important to have a website. It helps you reach a wider audience, gets more people interested in the services you offer, and is a great place to show off your portfolio.
