FINAL RESULT by THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER IN COVILHÃ
The two photos are variations of the same moment, during the wedding ceremony at the main church in Fundão
Wedding photojournalism
Aloud I repeat some photos from the last post, but they are nice support for the following ideas. In conversation with a friend who is also a wedding photographer, I remember telling him that I feel myself, during the wedding day cover, and even if the method I chose is what we can call wedding photojournalism, always doing portraits with individual actors or as a group.
There is a word used in the world of wedding photography to show the caption of something in a very limited time-lapse, impossible to repeat which will become very important to the viewer: moment. It is used by those that capture it and, also, by those that watch the result in the form of a photo.
The symbolic moments of the wedding ceremony
That moment is exterior to the wedding photographer who with technical skills, visualization training, and fast reaction can transform, and capture with the crucial elements to becoming a photo, a glimpse of something important for a future reminder: circumstantial framing, composition, texture for the dramatic interpretation and, finally, direct the eye of the viewer, always, in the printed paper.
When the wedding photographer used the method of photojournalism I am in a struggle with the change, and evolution, in the space and time of everything that surrounds me. The bride in the get-ready, the ceremony with the symbolic moments, or the chaotic and uncontrollable dance space, when transformed in the photo must have inside all the elements in the last paragraph. That is the goal, every time, of the wedding photographer.
