Change of Perspective aka MOVE!

When I shoot a wedding I end the day with aching feet and back. Shooting a wedding is almost a sport for me! I see some photographers who are great technically and get in the right spot but they shoot everything standing up from exactly the same vantage point. This leads to technically good shots but missing some of the dynamic angels that can add some much life to a photo. When I shoot an event I shoot over my head and on the floor and everywhere in between. I took some photos of my second photographer Darvin at Sundays wedding to illustrate my point. Here are some of the pictures with unique perspectives from the same wedding:

Jasara & Charles Engagement

Jasara is a musician and Charles a Marine, I shot them at a small park near their home in the early morning. I used a lot of natural backlighting of the rising morning sun for this shoot.

Tanya & John are getting married later this year, I shot their engagement in the early morning at the Manhattan Beach Pier. I try to shoot engagements in the early morning or right before sunset when the light is most beautiful. It may be tough waking up at 4am but it is worth it for the light.
