Description: People who don't like people have no business taking people pictures and, most of all, wedding photography is a people business. In the course of their work, wedding photographers encounter every type of nuptial ritual, from Christian to Jewish to Buddhist to "holistic," and enough characters and situations to fill a book. Sit down with an experienced wedding photographer and talk with him or her about the trade— you'll hear stories both sublime and ridiculous, and about situations that range from high comedy to moments filled with genuine emotion. But that's what makes wedding photography such a fascinating profession, or avocation. To an outsider, each wedding may look the same, but the seasoned wedding photographer knows better. It's hard work, and the demands made during the course of the day might well leave most mortals exhausted. Yet, with all the labor comes a reward—and that's the knowledge that, as the photographer, you've shared in one of the most intimate and touching moments in people's lives. How you approach this shared time, and the way you apply your skills as a photographer/ artist, will make the difference between a mechanical, and ultimately tedious experience and one that is emotionally and financially rewarding. It will definitely also make the difference between your ultimate success or failure in the wedding photography business. If you come away from this book with nothing else, it's hoped that you'll leave with this attitude, one that is essential to every successful wedding photographer. Most importantly, the job of the photographer is not only to make copies of faces and record the day's events, but to make interpretations and pictorial statements about the individuals involved and the love they share. While it's true that many wedding jobs are run according to a certain script, it's also true that every job is different because every couple encountered has their own life, their own special story. Every wedding means new people to meet, new stories to tell, and new challenges to face. Placing every job into the same category will result in boring pictures and, within a short period of time, a bored photographer. Some people feel that wedding photography is a simple task, a rote exercise in shooting a few pictures of a kissing couple and other setup shots. Nothing could be further from the truth. In the course of a day, a wedding photographer will be involved with formal portraiture, commercial design, fashion, glamour, group portraiture, photojournalism, and architectural photography. At the same time, the photographer is also a director, a bridal consultant, and even a referee. Because wedding photography encompasses so much, it is an excellent field with which to start, or to hone your skills. As those of you who've worked in this area know, the actual shooting of a wedding can be a pressure situation. In most instances, there will not be a second chance to get certain shots. Wedding photographers have to know their equipment and should always be prepared with backups. Also, time is a factor that must be considered; efficiency is of the utmost importance. The photographer has to fit everything into the schedule of the people who hire him or her, and he or she may often run into situations like having to pose a dozen people for a group portrait in five minutes. Within this pressured framework, a wedding photographer has to watch for details, work fast and, most of all, care. What then, is the real task of the wedding photographer? It's carrying the responsibility of portraying intense emotion through pictures, at the same time telling a story about the day of the wedding. This doesn't mean relying on cliches or putting couples and their families into unnatural positions or awkward poses. Rather, it's taking what is natural to the people involved and refining it with a few simple rules of color, composition, and balance. There's no one "style" that is right; no one pose that fits a situation every time. # Unknown Binding: 142 pages # Publisher: AMPHOTO (1985) # Language: English # ISBN-10: 0817456007 # ISBN-13: 978-0817456009
