The tips are the obvious things that we often ignore but usually cost us a lot at the end of the day. It’s therefore important to take these little steps very carefully so that you have memories in form of photos for any big day.
1. Checking if the battery is fully charged and ensure the lens is clean. Many people ignore this fact yet it’s very important. It’s even better to keep an extra fully charged battery just in case. The lens should be covered well and with soft fabric that will not scratch it.
2. Lighting is key when taking photos. The amount of light is important and the best one to use is the sun because it’s even. When using artificial light ensure that it’s in the correct amount since it tends to be uneven. Without proper lighting no matter how good of a photographer you are the pictures will not be of quality. The direction of light should also be considered so that the photos do not have a shadow effect on them.
3. Use of reflectors to bounce of light from the source to the subject is also very important. There is a great difference between a photo taken with the help of reflectors and one that lacks the use of reflectors. Materials that can act as reflectors are a white piece of poster board or foam core will make the photos look like the studio photos which are usually of high quality.
4. Most importantly is the photographer. As the photographer you must really concentrate on the object and ensure you capture it as it really is. Remove objects that may block your view or cause distraction. Also ensure that you focus on the object and take your time before you capture. Take as many photos as possible so that you have many to choose from.
