Wedding photography used to be looked down on by photographers who took themselves seriously, as something requiring little professional knowledge or creativity. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Wedding photography is a profession—one that should not be underestimated. It demands thorough technical knowledge, a generous dose of creativity, resilience under stress, flexibility and people skills. All of these must be brought to bear at the same time... some forms of photography are more relaxed. A good wedding photographer is a true professional.
Your technique must be impeccable. To capture the most beautiful day in the lives of two people in love as well as possible, you also need people skills and empathy. Strong business and promotional skills are equally vital if you want to stand out from the crowd.
This book covers these aspects of wedding photography, helping you become fully prepared as a wedding photographer and create unforgettable images of an unforgettable day for the newlyweds.
It covers the creative and technical sides of photography, as well as the business side of photography. You receive advice on technique, equipment, lighting, lenses, flash, posing, timing and planning the day, as well as marketing, sales, earning your fee and making money.
Eight leading wedding photographers share their methods and beautiful images in this book.
