Wedding photojournalism approach

All of us know that each photographer tries everything he, or she, can to give identity to their work. I will not show examples of that but, to me, the portrait is the base of my work, even if it is done as a wedding photojournalistic approach. Just because we follow the action at an event does not mean that we do not find, all day, pieces of that action that are authentic portraits. We just need to be fast to look and fast to photograph because they just vanish at the same speed that they appear to our eyes. Just glimpses.

A good portrait

Of course, the example photos, of the elopement session of Sofia and Ricardo, are not the best example, I know. It is just a slight difference because, here, I like to compose the portrait by taking how the couple behaves in front of my camera and lens. Here, I like, with great pleasure, to try to find the best tuning between the couple and the environment that we chose for the session, and achieve a nice melting. A good portrait. I think it was done.  The wedding photographer is happy.
