Wedding Photographer Or Lucky Career Start

The wedding photographer should not only get the knowledge and skills necessary for his career, nor effectively start his career by taking the right steps.

A wedding photographer should understand that starting a career can determine its further course, as well as the development and relevance of a wedding photographer in the future. But as a wedding photographer should start his practice as a photographer, what are the initial steps to be taken? I will try to describe in as much detail these first steps, which the beginning wedding photographer should know and perform at the first stages of his, no doubt in the future very successful, practice.

First step. The first acquaintance with the forthcoming work.
The first step that a novice wedding photographer must perform, paradoxically, is not even the teaching of a wedding photo, but the first acquaintance with the work ahead. This is very, very important. A beginner wedding photographer should attend several weddings as a photographer. Of course, he must do it on a non-commercial basis.

This step is necessary in order for a novice wedding photographer to feel the current of the wedding celebration, and also to understand - what are the main features of photographing the wedding.

Perfection of photographic equipment does not have special significance at this stage. The main thing is to get the first idea about the upcoming career of a wedding photographer, and also decide for yourself whether the "wedding photographer" profession suits you or not.

Step two. First knowledge.
It is very important that the wedding photographer before the commencement of his commercial activities received training, although basic, not only specifically for wedding photography, but also for the basics of photography as a whole. Because wedding photography is only a narrow area of the photographer's practice, but the professional photographer should know the basics of photography. It should be understood that the photographer - the first thing a professional photographer, and only then a wedding photographer.

How extensive, detailed and qualitative the knowledge will be at the initial stage, the faster the wedding photographer will start making quality photographs, and the faster it will develop in the future (as the photographer will have to study and improve throughout his practice, no matter how much he labored: year , Two, 20 years).

I think that very wide courses on photography, both on its basics and on wedding photography, will be very important for the photographer and can not be neglected.

Step three. The choice of phototechnics.
The wedding photographer should clearly understand that there are no universal cameras that can be shot with the same success as the reportage or the production. And consequently, at the beginning of his career, a professional photographer must decide which photo-key is most suitable for him and in accordance with this choice to buy a camera: for staging photography or for a reportage. In the future, when his well-being will improve, for the most effective work, the wedding photographer must purchase both types of photography and use both.

And the last tip. Dear novice wedding photographer! Study constantly, analyze your mistakes, remember that you work for people and for the sake of people. And then you will succeed.

I think that my simple advice will help a beginner in a wedding photo to start efficiently and quickly. Sincerely, wedding photographer Leonid Starikov.
