Unit 31 Specialist Location Images and Evaluation

 

Aim-

 

My aim is to successful capture this beautiful wedding and to produce a series of images for myself and for my client. I have not been told if there is a theme to the wedding although I have been told that they would like me to capture all three days of the wedding.  

 

I want the images to be different from other photographers. I want to explore everything they do and to capture all their happy or sad moments. If I am successful in this, I will be giving my client a album sized A3.

This is a very big challenge for me as I have never captured a wedding. I want the images to look very good and for the images to be different from other photographers and to hopefully be able to advertise my self and to show my work to other people.

Time-

For all three evening- 17:00 till 00:00

Lighting-

I was told that the event will be indoors and that I will only be going out once the grooms family arrives and when they leave at the end of the evening.

Conclusion

 

The Wedding went really really well. I felt very welcomed, I was able to take as many images as possible. What I had planned was nothing compared to the end result I am very pleased with the images. As this being the first wedding I had ever shoot it was a very good experience and I would like to do this again. I was very very successful.

 

Future wedding shoots and Problems-

 

One problem I had was with my flash gun, for some odd reason the flash gun had stoped working on the henna evening towards the end of the evening therefore I was going to find hrd to take the images on the wedding day. But I was able to get hold of another flash gun and complete the wedding. Another thing I had forgot on all three days was a tripod. It would have made my life alot better, although I didnt need one.

 

If I had to shoot another wedding I wouldnt be nerves at all. I would take a backdrop and some lights just so the couple would get some nice images of then standing infront of the backdrop and having the lights on.

Next time I would always shoot in raw as I wasnt formillor with the raw settings in my camera.

I have selected 25 images for this assignmsnt. Now I am able to show these images to anyone who would like to book me for there special day.

 

Overall I was very happy with the three days I completed for the wedding.

3 Days for a Wedding

 

Wedding Photography is great you get to meet all different people, be able to capture your clients while they are having a great time. Places such as Mosque's, Church's, temples, restaurants are where peoples events take place.

The following is a SWOT analysis on my Wedding Shoot for unit 31.

STRENGTHS

I have very good communication skills therefore I will be able to communicate with my clients.
I have a lot of patience.
Always on time.

WEAKNESS

Lack of experience in Wedding Photography.

Never shoot a lot of people.

Will not be able to see the images on full screen which will be a disadvantage.

OPPORTUNITIES

Help me to show my work to others and get other bookings.
Feedback from clients.
Creating a portfolio of my work.
 

THREATS

Bad weather on the day of the wedding.

Batteries may die on me.
Never met clients dont know what the communication will be like.

 

Aperture and Depth of Field

Aperture and Depth of Field

The aperture is the unit the measures and defines the size of the opening in the lens that can be adjusted to control the amount of light. The size of the aperture is measured in F-spot. The smaller the F- spot number; the greater the amount of light that passes through the lens. If the aperture is higher it will make the shatter speed slower.

Here you can see that I have set the f spot to the lowest I can and I have taken these images two home fragrance oils.

Documentary Photography

 

The streets of Manchester and how help are every day-
 

Documentary Photography- These are some of the images I have taken while I was walking around Manchester. These images show how people live, stay, visit, walk, work and entertain people in Manchester.

 

 

Architectural Photography
 

 

 

 



 

Here are some of the images of building I had taken around the Northern Quarter in Manchester. I don't quite like taking Architecture Images as i am more of a people's Photographer.

 

Portrait Photography

 Self Portrait-

We had task before taking others portraits was to take a self portrait. The image above you can see it my own self portrait.

Portraits of other members in my class-

 

These are some portrait images I have captured. when you are taking a portrait image the model or the person you are taking the image of doesn't need to be looking at the camera.

 

Fashion Photography- 

 

 

I got the right model for then right shoot. I was very happy with this shoot for fashion photography, the location was good the weather was great and the model was just prefect for the shoot.

Music Photography-

Album CD Cover created By Buth'ur Owa Member of TMC Level 3 Photography Group B. I Found it really hard to create and album cover and was unsuccessfully. But the one shown above will always stay by favourite.
