Child Photo Session

Today was a wonderful day. An established customer of mine had asked me to spend a day with his family to photograph his young boy playing in the park. They had fun, I had fun, overall, it was a great session.

New York Wedding

This weekend I had an opportunity to photograph a young black couple and their family with my friend Mark of PhotoFXStudio. The wedding was done in a Jamaican / Brooklyn tradition, lots of fun and great memories. Below is a sample of my work:

How to take great Wedding Pictures (Part 1)

About a month ago I was emailed by a photographer from Buffalo. She’s an armature photographer with a great potential. We have been sharing ideas and experiences, thoughts and concepts. As we’re going through this knowledge transfer process, we decided to start documenting this IP (Intellectual Property) to be shared with you – my dearest readers.

This will be the first of many posts to demonstrate minute aspects of photography that can greatly improve the overall quality of our work.

Note: Images used below are not to be reused or shared, they are the sole property of the photographer.

Part 1 – Perspective

There’s a lot to say about perspective but most importantly for us, photographers, is that depending on where you place your subjects, their apparent size changes.

The image below demonstrates this concept quite well. Object further away from the camera appear smaller (look at the windows towards the back of the hallway)

The same principal applies to people. The image below could be made more appealing to the bride if she had been placed a couple of steps behind the groom. She would appear slimmer and smaller – something most brides desire.

Yours, S.
