good job…i know how stressful this can be…
Who’s the expert? The client.
Indeed those power lines, towers, etc, are horribly distracting, I would hope they were removed in post.
This is absolutely not wedding photog though. Wedding photog is bride prep, ceremony, reception, afterparty. Challenges being lighting, anticipation/timing, white balance, and angles. This shoot is no different to portrait/model work. Men in suits are men in suits.
BUT! BUT! BUT! Somebody, somewhere can always critique any image and find some little nit to pick. Generally, the photography in this video is good, the imagination on the close subject vs distant groomsmen is excellent, the details I mentioned can all be addressed in POST PRODUCTION. We can all suggest how we would do it different. That’s how reviews and criticism works. A poor critique of an early shot of mine, changed my life… oddly enough, I was 19 (now 54) and had sense enough to listen.
There is a rule of composition I learned at Winona and Brooks regarding angled horizons. If you’re gonna tilt a horizon, make it a HEALTHY TILT so viewers know it was intentional and not just lack of attention to the verticals and horizon lines. A slight tilt of the camera can be mistaken for an accident and appear to be a mistake, whereas a good healthy 35-45 degree tilt is recognized immediately as intentional. YES! There are rules, AMS imagine it doesn’t matter. PROS understand it does.
Yes! I agree, I like the Matrix pose.
There is a power tower coming out of the top of the head of the second Groomsman from the left, in fact, there is no need for any of the powerlines or poles to be in the background, they add nothing and are a HUGE distraction. At this distance from the subject and all of them in a the same plane, f5.6 should have been enough depth of field to keep all in focus while throwing the background out of focus. Poles should be removed in POST PRODUCTION.
mal video, buenas fotos…
what was the setting on your camera to make the background darker ?
Ummmm, hmmmm, grooms, groomsmen, the groom is getting married, photographer taking wedding pictures. Pretty sure this is wedding photography, at least, that is what the B&G think they are paying for.
i admit this guy is a wonderful photographer but to me this is not wedding photography sorry
Very nice- thank you!
Hugo Weaving…The Matrix pose at 2:05 nice
Shot1: there are poles growing out of their heads - big mistake.
The rest is quite okay.
Great shot at 3:35. I didnt even think about doing that lol
Nice shots, yes i would like to know about the lens and you cam
Very helpful thank you
Nice quick video, though the size is pretty hindering…
What kind of setting did you use on your monolight, just a little fill flash? And did you stop down your aperture or did you lower the EV setting, and how much down?
Great shots, I am learning to control the light on such brighter days without overexposing…
Thanks.
what lens did you use for these shots?
