Wedding Photography Tips – 4 Things Couples Can Do to Improve Their Getting Ready Photos

blogger /

Most brides and grooms care deeply about their wedding photography, but just don’t know how to make their day photo friendly. Any professional photographer should be able to capture beautiful images of your day in any given situation, but there are some tips that make the job a lot easier on your chosen photographer. There are many things you can do while getting ready on your big day to help your photographer deliver the best images to you. Here are a few tips for making your day extra photographer friendly.

Hire hair and makeup artists. Every girl wants to look her best on the big day. While any photographer will tell you that they’ve seen enough brides to know that every one really is beautiful on their wedding day, professional hair and makeup artists know how to make you look extra camera ready so you will look your absolute best. Hair and makeup translate differently on camera, and these artists will know how to achieve the best look for you.

On the same note, do try to make sure your hair and makeup artists have plenty of time to finish their work. This time can often be underestimated, so discuss this with your vendors beforehand. When hair and makeup run late, your photography and wedding schedule can get thrown off right from the start.

When its time to get dressed, tell your attendants to be already dressed and ready. This goes for both the guys and the girls. Your photographs will look better with a unified bridal party in them and your bridesmaids and groomsmen will thank you for making sure they have clothes on.

Consider getting ready in a hotel room or house rather than a side room at the venue. More often than not, these rooms are small, cramped and not very visually pleasing. You will feel less stressed if you have more space to move around while getting ready as well.

Beautiful Background Blur Photography on our Tanzania Safari Tour

blogger /

One of the most basic tactics of photography from the past is now a fashion photography trend in the wildlife segment too, i.e. Blurring the Background!

From the past years, the wildlife photographers spent hours in the field and used various tactics to get the best snaps of their animals in different poses and actions. Blurring the background is a prominent one. This is one of those wildlife photography tips that is particularly important on a safari tour because often there is foliage in the image on the backgrounds along with the main subject which is distracting. Be it a lion sitting with its cub, a scared zebra looking for a way to save itself or an Elephant herd walking back home in the grasslands. Blurring the backgrounds and non-subject items, gives more emphasis to what you are actually trying to capture perfect in your photo. If you are photographing a herd of elephant just like as shown in the picture taken during one of our Tanzania Safari Tour, you might want to make sure that they are all in focus and get more weight age than something that you actually think is for background purposes only.

The swanky name to describe the portion of the picture/image that appears sharp throughout the whole image is called the depth of field. But more important than knowing what it’s called is knowing, how to control it!

There are 3 factors that can be used to control the depth of the field

the aperture
the focal length of the lens and
the camera to subject distance.

Of these three, the aperture is the one that you have the most control over on a safari tour. A big aperture opening (e.g f/4.5) will lead to more background blurring while a small aperture (e.g f/22) will lead to the overall scene being sharper. Most photographers these days use large range of aperture opening to make their photographs more subjects centric and this is what our photographers did on the Tanzania Tours to make the most out of their pictures. Have a look at our Tanzania image gallery.

Trying the same in an open field with vast range is more justified. Hence it will be great help to know how to change the aperture opening on your gear before you go on safari. In the picture taken in Serengeti National Park while on our safari trip to Tanzania, the photographer waited for the perfect lighting in the scenery, set the right aperture, focal length and set a proper camera distance while he gave this perfect shot.

While you concentrate on the three settings given above it is also very important that you consider one more aspect that goes hand in hand with the same, i.e. the correct lighting. So be it a wedding ceremony in your family, an outdoor date with a girlfriend or an encounter in the wild, learn and master these tactics to impress all.
