I frequently post a favorite image from the past weekend. \u00a0This time, I’d like to post a few images. \u00a0All are portraits of the bride, Denise, on her wedding day. \u00a0This might show some of my approach and style in wedding portraits …<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
This first photo was an impromptu photo of Denise as we were going down in the elevator. \u00a0I turned my flash around and bounced it into the elevator above and behind me. \u00a0I asked her to lean back into the corner of the elevator. \u00a0The composition was purposely diagonal to make use of the strong lines in the frame.<\/p>\n
camera settings: \u00a01\/160 @ f4.5 @ 1000 ISO; TTL bounce flash A more formal portrait from earlier the day in her bedroom. \u00a0I aimed for a classically elegant pose. \u00a0The lighting – daylight from camera left through the window; TTL flash bounced to my right and slightly towards the bride. \u00a0The flash was flagged with the black foamie thing<\/a>.<\/p>\n camera settings: \u00a01\/160 @ f4 @ 800 ISO; TTL bounce flash A similar pose – again aiming for the classically elegant – but in an entirely different setting and with different light. \u00a0To counter-act the bright sunlight as much as I could with a mere speedlight that I am bouncing into the large room, I went to 1\/250th immediately<\/a>, and set my flash to full power. \u00a0Doing both those things meant I had the most output from my flashgun, and using at best efficiency.<\/p>\n 1\/250 @ f4.5 @ 200 ISO; \u00a0manual on-camera bounce flash at full power A portrait of Denise just before she entered the church. \u00a0She requested this photograph, and walked towards the door and turned around to the camera.<\/p>\n I used flash as the merest touch of fill-flash, at -4EV FEC.<\/p>\n The post-processing is via a few of the actions in the Totally Rad action set, layered at different opacities. \u00a0The ‘Beer Goggles’ action gave the selective softness, controlled by a Layer Mask.<\/p>\n You can order the Totally Rad action sets, or other goodies offered, via this affiliate link:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n camera settings: \u00a01\/250 @ f4 @ 200 ISO; Equipment used for these images: <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I frequently post a favorite image from the past weekend. \u00a0This time, I’d like to post a few images. \u00a0All are portraits of the bride, Denise, on her wedding day. \u00a0This might show some of my approach and style in wedding portraits …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":30472,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15,32,41,1,45],"tags":[878,879,876],"yst_prominent_words":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-4191","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-flash-photography","8":"category-photoshop","9":"category-style","10":"category-uncategorized","11":"category-wedding-photography","12":"tag-new-jersey-wedding-photographer","13":"tag-wedding-photographers-in-new-jersey","14":"tag-wedding-photography","15":"entry"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4191"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4191"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4191\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46058,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4191\/revisions\/46058"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/30472"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4191"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4191"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4191"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/neilvn.com\/tangents\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=4191"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
