Having watched many tutorials like this one, I have a question – what's the idea behind having so much background and head-space above the people in the images? I've seen this in portraits, couples, stage and candid images – lots of negative space with whatever is in the background and the heads of the people more or less in the center of the frame? It's so much sometimes that the frame cuts out legs in favour of trees, chandeliers, etc?
I'm sure there are valid reasons for that, I'm just not sure what they are?
Cheers! Awesome video, mate! Subscribed 🤙
I’ve noticed you use the belt clip to hold your camera. Is it peak design and how do you like it? Have you had any problems with it ?
Hm this is more about the photos than the moment. Do you have any tips for first look photography where you sont intervene at all? Or is it simply too high risk to miss the shots then?
Looks amazing, Steve! Really cool to see the process 👏
Is first look before or after the wedding ceremony?
I like how fraudulent the image at 10:42 is. Amazing how the sun was shining in the picture but not in the video.
Gear specs
nice work man
So glad that you made this bts video of first looks and portraits, images are looking great! 🤩 Im going to shoot my first weddings this summer and im super nervous about it. Im confident with my camera and my skills, but still its just so big day for them and there isnt any redos. 😅 Any tips by any chance?
