Backlighting Wedding Photography Technique Using Available Light

[senyum0]

utilize till the cows come home. i love it

[0oFlicko0]

Dear @LearnMyShot , due to some really stupid regulations here in Germany, videos with music are sometimes blocked for me to view. Could you maybe try not to use any background music? Because I would really love to see the video after this for instance. At the moment I can't.

I love your tips, thank you

[LearnMyShot]

@0oFlicko0 can you see videos on our site, we use a different video player? just click on the link in video description. Let me know

[0oFlicko0]

@LearnMyShot yes, I can finally see it there, thank you

actually thought this was ainsley harriott the chef for a second. that would have been weird....

[KarimPhotography]

how can i put the dj light behind the light?????????????

[LearnMyShot]

@KarimPhotography Generally these shots are done before reception starts, often during cocktail hour. DJ crew is generally testing their rig at that time. and if you ask nicely they should be happy to assist you. Or you can see there the light is falling and position your subject in a proper spot. This is not something to be used at every event. but something it might be fun to take advantage of ,when the opportunity comes.

teaching is not a profession it's a passion; How to make effective presentation!?

BTW, the current issue of Shutterbug has a Q/A where the writer states over and over again how terrible iMacs are for photo editing due to insufficient color gamut. Sorry to see that Nick is using substandard monitors. He could at least spring for a LaCie 324 as a second monitor. It's only $1k for a pretty decent display. Much less than some of the $3k-$4k for a Samsung.

The techniques I liked, the pictures not so much. Then I remembered wedding photography is event photography. A fashion shoot is planned for making images. A wedding is planned for the bride, not the photographer. A wedding photographer takes the standard pics, and then finds what he can with the rest.

yea, the A/C unit is distracting. For many of those, I would have put some fill flash to get some detail in the dress, OR totally gone for the silhoutte. The archway shot I liked.

haha garage band track at the beginning ^^ nice vid Btw

[kaisar1]

beautiful shots, awesome composition minus that A/C unit. Its distracting and some how for me, it tries to take that drama away from the picture

[dieguitomalbec]

@kaisar1 I agree !

[cobleaudio]

thank you! excellent ideas I can use.

[chicagodrew1128]

Doing nothing is better than those shitty pics. .. "tilt the camera and that makes you creative..." no, it makes you a retard.
