SINCERITY by THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN PORTUGAL
Some photos of those attending a wedding ceremony
Photographer as careful gardener
Subject, wedding photographers, or a constant search. In this walking around searching for photos that are spread for those who like to pick them up, like a careful gardener choosing his flowers, I still am amazed at how I find them, and my basket, in the form of a camera, is never empty. I understand all other photographers searching for their subjects in other places but, for me, in no other place do I feel myself a photographer as in a wedding.
I never get tired of writing here that people are my most important subject. Also, I have some shyness when stealing someone’s face that does not notice the thief and mountains and plains are only subject to my eyes and brain, which keep them without the need for photos coming from my lens and cameras. So, where, as a passionate photographer, I could find my subjects with light to cross my lens to transform them into photos if not in weddings where my landscapes are.
Photos that push to photograph
That is true. It is not that talk to convince someone to let me go and photograph their wedding. Well, it is also because this is a wedding photographer blog, but, like my photos, coming from my cameras, I need to be sincere. It is at the weddings where I find those photos that push me to photograph, it is there where I can find those persons that, by kindness, ignore me, pretend to let me steal them, and, after, return to them in the form of photos.
They use to like it, when they find them in front of their eyes and when he knows that, the wedding photographer is happy. Believe me, I am…
