1, light
When we shoot a wedding, we will experience too many complicated lights: natural light, incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, cold light of spotlights, warm light in the hotel lobby, colorful light on the wedding stage, and our flash. And super complex light mixed between these different lights. The complexity of light directly affects two problems. The first is how to use it. What should be avoided and what should be used.
2. Angle and standing position
At the wedding I follow, I often see friends who play photography, but most of them just stand there and zoom. Will not deliberately pursue the angle. How can we make the documentary shine? This requires us to grasp different angles. In fact, the angle is very simple, that is, the normal overhead shooting and the parallel shooting of overhead shooting, which is the seat. The angle between the photographer and the subject on the cross section is also very important, front, side and back. This vertical and horizontal plane is actually a three-dimensional 3D space with countless angles to capture.
The station is mainly at the wedding scene. Although our photography is basically guerrilla, we can't be completely self-sufficient. Here we need to pay attention to the central reservation of cameras. Its position will basically not move, just zoom in and out. So it can't be shielded for a long time. When we have to stop it, we should move quickly and get out of the way after clicking. Moreover, when we shoot the stage, it is impossible to stand still in one place, so the angle we shoot will not be very vivid and will be recorded rigidly. You can shoot from both sides of the stage, in front or even behind, creating a rich perspective and giving people a different sense of change.
3. Coordination among shutter, aperture, ISO and flash.
It's hard to say on the whole. Experience is to grasp a key point, that is, when using the flash, it should be played naturally, so if you want to play naturally, you need a mode: slow synchronization. In fact, it is to brighten the subject on the premise of ensuring natural light. It is called "slow" because the shutter speed is relatively slow in dark environment to ensure ambient light. Besides, we're shooting a wedding, and we need to take a snapshot, so we need to shutter quickly. What should we do? We must cooperate with high ISO.
My experience is that the indoor environment is generally in iso400-iso 1600, m file, the shutter is in 1/60s- 1/200s to ensure the ambient light, and then manually output the flash to control the fill light. The basic angle of the flash is between 0.60 degrees of the shooting direction in front and the vertical direction. Ensure the overall brightness, accurate subject exposure and natural soft picture.
4. Communication with some important people
Communication is necessary and needs to communicate with a large number of people. This is very, very good for our shooting.
Communicate with the bride, arouse her emotions, and let her feelings of joy and happiness show, so that we can capture. Usually brides are nervous at first. You can chat with her easily, tell stories about other people's marriage, and let her tell interesting stories about her previous relationship with the groom. Naturally, she will relax, smile, be happy, and be happy naturally. If we click on it, we can catch it.
