Hi my name is Antonio Leanza. I’ve got a training company. I train photographers. I train people to become photographers, to become visionary and to master that’s all as a hobby or as a profession.
First of all is about being prepared so I will never go to just one camera at the wedding. I would have like back up I would have lots of memory cards. I would have lots of batteries so we start like really reframing I like to say. I would like to kind of deal more where kind of location to have both maybe the light is not enough. Okay, the light is not enough I’ll be prepared then I have my own lighting.
As a wedding photographer, as in event photography we want to really have a great rapport to the crowd with the public that we’re photographing, so we want to be close but discreet as Andy Carter would used to say, you want to become invisible and tip so, so many yes capture also the spilling of a glass of wine on that wedding dress, and the kind of warm that in people faces and maybe the cry that will be part of the atmosphere then it’s up to the groom and the bride to decide if they want those pictures in their own wedding album or not, but you as a photographer I think you have the duty to record as much as possible the atmosphere overall.
I would advice any couple who want to employ a photographer and first of all checking their own budget. What kind of effort, 500 pounds? Five hundred pounds you can get your wedding covered by somebody who will just be gone. Be careful because there are lots of cowboys out there who are just totally improvised, who have not trained and whatsoever who just put the camera on automatic and they just click. So I would really recommend to double check that they trust in recording their weddings.
The biggest challenge for any photographer is to really be light, is to really create rapport with the subjects and make them relax. People being photographed is stress most people get stress 90% of people get stress in being photographed because they don’t like themselves in pictures. They don’t look like the Kate Moss. They don’t look like the Richard Gere and so forth obviously, “I don’t like to be photograph personally.” I understand, so to advance to develop for the photographer an attitude of kind of humbleness being dear kind of being very kind of understanding people and being part of them being in the picture, and get them used to having the camera pointed at them and we teach them techniques to get people to be used to being photograph.
A wedding should like, any photo shoot, what makes it is like the foundation of photography, the principles. So first of all is the subject. Then is the exposure, then is the composition overall so the way you present it so light, the light. Do you have beautiful light? Do you have a nice location? Are the groom and bride kind of photogenic as such? Are they relaxed in front of the camera or are they tensed? Maybe you need to do some work on them, of course, your own confidence and your own mastery in the subject makes it good whatever the circumstance.
