THE PORTRAITIST by THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN PORTUGAL
The photograph is a portrait of the bride on the battlements of Alandroal Castle on her wedding day
The world of wedding photography
Following the theme of the last post, more portraits. But now, more melted with the surroundings. Take advantage of what my lens does with the background, or with the foreground when is there, and show a more integrated reading of the portrait.
I like very much this way of photographing because it can show our eyes an intensity when reading the persons we chose to photograph. On the other hand, I like the word portrait. More than a photographer I like to consider myself a portraitist. If I was a painter or a sculptor, that would be my favorite subject, too. The world of wedding photography allows me to constantly relive the emotion that is having someone, in front of me, and try to take advantage of the best I can see at the moment.
A portraitist in the other photos
Here I am, again, valuing a part of my task of the day. But, I never get tired of saying, this is my part of the day. That is why I became a wedding photographer and, in the other parts, I feel that I am always using my side as a portraitist in the other photos I am finding and achieving. I may say that this is, for sure, my center of gravity when a wedding photographer.
