The Best Part About Being A Wedding Photographer

By Anonymous
I love being a wedding photographer.  Every year I love it more and more.  Can you imagine having a job where someone pays you money to make them happy and love everything you do?

This has been the best career choice I could have ever made.  When I shoot weddings there is also a second bonus.  I get to spend the day with my beautiful wife!  Thats right!  She is my second shooter, and partner in the business.  I can't think of anything that makes me happier than spending time with her and making a client happy simultaneously!  That is some serious business/family multitasking at it's best!

Anywho, the best part about being a wedding photographer happens after the wedding.  Maybe I'm a sentimentalist, but when I design images for the review session (when the bride and groom get to see their images for the first time) I go straight for the heart strings.  First I show a series of my personal favorite images of the day, and those are always the most intensely emotional images.  I give the newly weds the best experience possible for viewing their images for the first time, and they always love it.

There is nothing better than seeing a couple get excited, laugh, and cry tears of joy when they see their images on the big screen.  It is so emotionally rewarding, inspiring, and motivating to have someone like what I do enough that they have a tear of happiness - I love this part of my job.  Thats what keeps me motivated to continue as a wedding photographer, try new things, and expand my business reach.

I guess what I love about being a wedding photographer is really... love!

Liz Valentine's Headshot Session

By
As always, we had a blast with Liz!  Her fun, happy, energetic personality is SO contagious! Liz is the owner/operator of Studio V Media & Photography in Port Allegany, and we often work together, weather we are taking pictures for each other's families, talking "shop", or just hanging out for some fun. For this shoot, Liz has just become the proud new owner of a Cannon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens.  If you don't know what that means - it is a REALLY BIG LENS that EVERY photographer wants, and once they have it... it becomes part of their family.  Its generally one of the most favorited pieces of glass ever created - so, yes, it is worth getting a photo shoot for yourself to celebrate the occasion!

Competition? What Competition?

By Anonymous
Photo Courtesy of Studio V. Photography Often, we are asked how we make our photography business thrive when there are so many competitors out there, especially in a rural and isolated location like ours.  Sure, there are mom-togs, those who do it for a hobby, those who undercut our prices, those that far out price us, those that offer downloads, free prints, etc., etc.  After all, in a boutique business like ours, people are going to either love our work or hate it.  They're either going to come to us or go somewhere else.  That's okay.  We're here to help those people that love our style, our personalities, and our art.  Sometimes what we offer doesn't fit the customer's choice.  That is okay. Hopefully we can help them out in some other way.  Perhaps we can give them guidance on what to wear , a checklist for wedding preparations , or even recommendations for a colleague that might suit them better.

Black and White - Conversion VS Infrared, See the Difference.

By Anonymous
Digital Black and white photography can be created through many techniques.  You could use the Instagram app and click a pre-made filter,  use a more advanced software program like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop, convert it directly inside your camera body, screw on an infrared filter to the front of your lens and convert it to black and white post production, or convert a camera to only capture infrared light.  Today I'm just going to explore my two favorite methods: 1) Using an infrared converted camera. 2) Converting images in Adobe Lightroom. So what is the difference between the two methods? A color image that is converted to black and white allows you lots of control over each color channel.  This is handy if you want to make different colors stand out by being brightened or darkened in your final black and white image. An image that is captured from infrared light has much less control over colors as the only colors captured are tones of red.  Ho...
