Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken when at the arrival of the bride at the church.Time
It was about 7.00 in the evening.Lighting
I used a small flash outside of the car at the left side of the bride.Equipment
I used a Nikon D3s camera with a Nikon 24-70 2,8 lens. The flash was a Nikon SBInspiration
That period of time my main inspiration was the style of Jerry Ghionis, one of the best wedding photographers in the world.Editing
We used the "dodge and burn" technique in the Photoshop, we sharpen the image and we add a vignette at the end of the process.In my camera bag
I use Nikon and Sony professional equipment.So my bag almost always contains the following equipment: 1 camera Nikon D810, 1 camera Sony A7ii, 24-70 Nikon 2,8, 70-200 Sigma 2,8, some prime lenses, 2 flash units and many memory cards!Feedback
Our digital era and technology allows many who are not professionally occupied with photography to have easy access to it and to sometimes claim many jobs from professional photographers.This is quite usual ,especially with wedding photos,where any "Uncle Bob" assumes the title of an expert and puts himself over any professional. So I believe that today's professional wedding and portrait photographer must be well aquainted with posing and lighting, to be familiar with his equipment , ability and basic photo processing. This can be achieved only with continuous education and hard work.He will have to look back at older seasoned photographers so as to know the basic rules of posing and lighting and to be inspired by the young great photographers, so as to present something completely different. Finally, participation in professional communities, such as Viewbug is important because through them a professional can benefit and develop even more, technically and professionally alike.he lighting and how this affects to our photograph
