Notes to Photographers

After finishing a photoshoot don't give all the jpgs to the client offering to let them make their choices of the best images, because they'll definitely either pick all photographs where you missed the focus OR just take the images themselves and do what they want with them. Learning!

Weddings & Booze Rumination

I shot my first wedding earlier this month and I'm lucky that I had the opportunity to shoot a wedding of my own family that wouldn't have had a photographer present. I took comfort knowing that ANY photos I got would be considered icing. That being said it was fun taking the job seriously, dressing fancy and flying to Kelowna with all my photo gear. I tried some different techniques, and got some really beautiful moments. However as the night progressed I thought it appropriate to indulge in libations, after all I wasn't doing this job for money, and I'm part of the family. This didn't help my success ratio. I'm definitely glad I learned this lesson early: drinking and taking photographs turn me into an amateur. My ratio of good photos suffers dramatically, and half of the keepers are more like snapshots than Photographs (with a capital p). From now on, I'll be approaching each assignment like a yoga class. No booze, meditation, warrior, present in each moment, breath.
