PORTRAITS
There are many different techniques for portrait photography. Often it is desirable to capture the subject's eyes and face in sharp focus while allowing other less important elements to be rendered in a soft focus. At other times, portraits of individual features might be the focus of a composition such as the hands, eyes or part of the subject's torso.
WEDDINGS
As a wedding is a one-time event, the photographer must be prepared for the unexpected. Shooting a wedding is both exhausting and invigorating as the photographer is constantly looking for good angles and opportunities for candid shots. Communication and planning time-lines before the event will alleviate many of the stresses associated with photographing a wedding. The ability to tactfully take charge also helps - particularly when photographing large groups or families - a common expectation after the ceremony. Having a run list with all of the expected shots is also a useful tool.
EVENTS
When you hear the phrase �Event Photography� you might think of black-tie corporate events, weddings, proms and equestrian events, however event photography can also include, trade shows, local football tournaments, surf meets, fundraisers, the possibilities are literally endless. All you need is a gathering of people, the equipment and the right attitude.
