Wedding Photo Journalism


Most of the people think that the meaning of a wedding studio photographer is just the same as a wedding photo journalist. Actually they both are distinct in their own ways. Both of them render the use of different skill and creativeness. The creativeness is the main thing that matters and creates the difference in both of the cases. The former one will not do anything to change the moment. The latter one can however make alterations. The former will only be a silent observer. In this way he will be able to capture those emotions and scenes of the family which they would cherish remembering upon later on.

The work of such a man is only to capture an emotion. This should be done with no alterations. It does not at all mean that you do not capture the portraits of the families. You can do them but a great judgment is required in such a job. There are many lights available which can be used such as blending lights or the normal lights can also be used. It is upon you that when do you feel it right to use whichever light.

There are many ways which help you to capture pictures in different ways. Some of them are by staging the moments, etc. also the camera can be rotated sideways. In this way you get a longer view of a smaller place. Also special effects can be added depending upon the situation. Also, by doing so, the flaws in the photo would be avoided and also the families would be happier than before. The moment also looks original when you try and do something like this. It is not that if you do not keep the photo original, the moment does not look good. In some cases, the photo becomes better than the original when you do something creative like this. Also, you should be able to tell stories to people when you see your camera. This is when you are known to be what is called as a good photo journalist.

The elements which are used in the determination of the moment should not be lost. It should be taken care of by a good wedding photo journalist that such locations, elements, places, characters and objects should not be missed upon. Also, by doing so, the blend of the background comes into picture. And by just seeing the surroundings the people should be able to recapitulate what happened when the photo was clicked. After all, a photo is only able to define a specific moment. Also, stage moments should not be missed upon in a wedding. Ethics should be followed if you are a true photo journalist.
