A Day In The Life Of A Wedding And Fashion Photographer - Talk About On Steemit #6

Hello Friends, this is something we are excited to share with whole community,
The world’s best photographers are defined by their styles. For example, you can instantly look at an image by a photographer recognize what you’re seeing. Their work is distinctly theirs. I believe that a big part of a photographer's success lies in finding this style. It may not come easily to everyone, however often times when people first delve into photography, they are inclined to try a little bit of everything. In my opinion, this is a great way to start. I see a lot of people buying cameras for a specific purpose; they want to shoot cars because they work at an auction house, or they want to better cover their travels to add content for their blog. While this is all well and fine, it can keep them in a creative rut. If you want to really find your style, you need to branch out and experiment.

These were all shot with the same camera, lens, and light, and they were even shot within an hour of each other. The differences are subtle between the two images. The light was a strobe through a zoom reflector for a very hard light source. In the two shots, the positioning of the light was the same. The black and white image was shot using the modeling light instead of the flash. This required a slightly higher ISO of 1600. I added grain in post processing to add a more raw aesthetic. The other image was shot with the actual flash and at around 100 ISO. The image received some dodging and burning, but not much else. The black and white image was given a steep curve and added contrast in Capture One in order to make the light seem even more harsh

FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER'S TOOL KIT :
Apart from your camera gear and lenses, there are other things you will need. Chances are you won’t only be photographing in the studio, but outside of your own work zone.

Fashion shows would be obvious choices of where else to photograph. This is an area where a monopod becomes very handy. This is great if you don’t have space for a tripod (you won’t).

Also, using a vertical grip frame, which doubles up as a battery pack, would be a great help. It even holds a Speedlite, or two if you have muscles.

35MM LENSES FOR FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY :
Many people swear by their 50 mm lens. But what about 35 mm? This is still a popular choice for street and fashion photographers alike.

Probably because it gives you a good working distance. It allows you to get close, but not so close that you make the subject anxious.

35 mm means you can also fit into a studio, as most are converted spare rooms. Perfect for small cramped spaces where you can’t step back.

The 35 mm lens tends to be a little more expensive than a 50 mm. This is partly due to complex mechanics inside the lens.
