 Wedding photography 

Wedding photography can be good and bad, but it is a money making business. Our research was about recognising good and bad wedding photography. We were showed good and bad poses, which taught me to have confidence and skills, so your client doesn't control you. It is very important that you have full control on poses and styling so you can provide the best images.

Describe their photography

After creating my book I took it to the lecturer to get approved. The book was approved with one little suggestion to swap two of the images. I altered the book and then sent for it to be printed using Blurb. The estimated delivery date is the 14th March. (I will update when book arrives) I got my book printed standard landscape 25 x 20 cm , 28 pages,  Premium Paper, lustre finish.

Update: 

The book has arrived on the 12th of March. The lustre finish is really nice and complements the work although the images look just a tad colder on in the book than they do on screen. I have used ‘colormonki’ to calibrate my laptop monitor. 

So for this project the obvious first places to have a look at are The Sunday Herald pages.

For my something old project I decided to use old rusty tools as my main subject as my step dad is a mechanic and has many old interesting looking tools. I tried to look at other photographers that have shot this kind of subject before

Harold Ross - Photographer :

Harold Ross’s images are lit with precision. Harold uses the playing with light technique to have total control over the areas he wants to light in the photographs. I will try this technique for my object and see how It works for my image.
