The last three years I’ve come a long way in regards to Wedding Photography. I started out as an intern working under the skill of a veteran in the game, only recently have I made my foray into shooting weddings solo. This said I don’t at all consider myself “experienced” or to have earned any sizable amount of respect from those making a living on this expertise. However, I feel like I am making quality strides in the right direction. Looking back at the weddings of 2009, there is a distinct evolution in my style. I spent my time fumbling with my camera wanting only the best L lenses, then there was the period where I decided to put a urine filter over my images, and there was the time when I had white card stock rubberband-ed to the tip of my flash. From too little Photoshop work, to too much Photoshop, the use of actions and filters and the such. I finally feel like things are beginning to settle.
What a variety of choices to make. One thing I enjoy though is that there is a constant progression in my work. More often now instead of making 180 turns in style and consistency, I tend to adapt my efforts and incorporate things I want to try instead of the good old cut sling load. I like this method so much better than what I have been doing, keeping what I know I like and introducing something experimental. A lot of this sounds like a whole pile of gibberish, at least to me. Gotta’ keep shooting.
