Wedding Photography Tip: MOVE BACK! We often forget to distance ourselves when we are caught up in the midst of activities during a wedding. It’s excellent to shoot close ups with a wide angle lens, getting intimate, candid expressions (if you are a good “people-person”), achieving all those “being-involved-in-the-action” shots… BUT there are times we need to Step Back a little… The same goes in life, when being up close and personal to someone you love ALL the time gives the person NO private space and you will most likely end up being “bashed”! LOL… So, MOVE BACK or STEP BACK a little… and you will begin to see a different world altogether…  For the Olympus lovers, this was shot on Olympus E-620, 14-54mmmk2.  Kids. Wedding Photojournalism. Wedding Photojournalism is to capture un-posed moments in an unobtrusive style. By now, “everyone” seem to be doing it… as digital seems so easy… without the stress of wasting films. It has also become a lot more sloppy in the industry. This started in the early 1990s, when black and white films were being used due to the need for high speed ASA1600-3200. As there were (and still is if not worse…) limited choice of high speed film available in the market, wedding photojournalists had to shoot black and white, as choices were limited to either the Fuji Neopan 1600 or the Ilford Delta 3200. Of course, some chose to push process ASA400 B&W films… The color film choice would be the Fuji Superia 1600 but it seemed that grains in color film were NOT as widely accepted as grains in black and white films so wedding photojournalism ended up mostly black and white. Just yesterday, I received news from a friend’s email that Fuji is discontinuing it’s Neopan1600 film. I find this totally idiotic when in recent years, there has been a significant resurgence of film users! And Kodak has just developed 2 NEW films for us over the last 2 years! (though they also discontinued the Kodachrome) It’s sad news to me and to many B&W film users…  Girl. Wedding Photojournalism. Kids are beautiful subjects all the time!  shot with Leica M6, 15Heliar, Tri-x 400.  done with 15 heliar, leica m6.  Shot on color negative. Wedding Photojournalism, Kuala Lumpur. The beginning of “A Photo A Day” in this site started because of “No Idea How To Compile My Zillion of Works Done Through The Years” and the practical laziness of selecting more than 30 shots a day for an album. I’d rather spend more time shooting than anything else. That’s the imbalance in me. Since the start of “A Photo A Day” in both of my blogs (blogspot as well), I have learned that posting a photo a day makes me think hard about that one particular shot over a 24 hour window. I begin to scrutinize it’s flaws and study how to do better. It makes me concentrate better on segregating my street photography and other works from my commercial works. The discipline of blogging daily in this style is keeping me sharp. It helps me avoid sloppiness. It helps in reinforcing my focus on doing what I love.  shot with Nikon FM3A, 85mm F1.8 lens. |
