Digital Photography Exposed

We've got something new on the go this year - a photography course! Yes you guessed it, it's called Digital Photography Exposed just like the title of this post. Jayne and I were looking about at all the people buying DSLR cameras and ending up disappointed because they're not getting results much different to what they got from their old 'point and click camera'.

We also noticed how dry and boring many photography books and courses are. We checked out loads of them and even bought an online photography course as part of our research and to be honest, most were so dull neither of us would reach the end. Personally I'd probably slit my wrists rather than keep reading.

So we chose to go for it and offer would be photographers something easy to read, fun to do and that would get them taking the kind of photographs that they aspire to in the shortest possible time. It's taken all summer to write and photograph and now it's ready.

Don't let a photographer spoil your day!

I think most photographers forget that it's not their shoot - it's your wedding. No one's there because they want to have pictures taken. They're there to get married and have a blast, and that's all!

The wedding photographer's job is to tell the story with fabulous images and not get in anyone's way or have any one standing about bored for ages. They mustn't make you late for dinner either because you've just paid out a pile of money to have a chef create you a wonderful meal. The photographer should take care of you and should be able to act as a kind of un-official master of ceremonies and, when needed, a counselor as well. However many guests you may have, your wedding photographer should be able to walk right in and relate to each and every one as though he's (or she's) known everyone for ever. In short, a wedding photographer has to be a much loved friend of the family to everyone at your wedding.

Sound like a tall order? It is a bl**dy tall order - but that's the job. That's what I get paid to do. And you know what?

I love it!
