The family dog always deserves his moment in the spotlight. This moment actually came during a formal group shot of the groom and groomsmen. Dogs often take direction very well, but this guy needed no directionâI couldnât have posed it better if I tried.
Canon 5D, 24â70mm F2.8 lens, f/6.3 at 1/125 sec.

Looking Beyond Your Subjects:
Shadows and Light
Learn to look beyond your subjectsâliterally. Often the most powerful point in a photograph isnât the subject, but just beyond him or her, in the shadows. Itâs about learning to see and training your eyes to perceive texture and contrast. Too many photographers panic when faced with uneven light. But shadows and contrast in lighting are two of your best allies for creating truly amazing prints. Learn to understand every aspect of how your equipment performs and how your subject will look using lenses of different focal lengths. When working with low light, you need to use high ISO film, which is more sensitive and thus requires less light to expose your image. Film with this higher sensitivity therefore allows you a wider range of aperture and speed selection. Virtually everything I photograph is in âProgramâ mode. If you consistently and diligently practice with every lens you have at your disposal, you will develop enough experience and confidence to anticipate the result without needing to see it first. You canât develop confidence without constant rehearsal and experimentation.
We canât overstate how important it is to understand the basics of photographyâlighting, composition, and exposureâbefore you can understand what it means to use Photoshop or other editing software on your images. Most of the tools and techniques in Photoshop were originally based on darkroom techniques, so this should be every photographerâs universal rule: Always understand your equipment and the technical aspects of photography from the get-go. Remember, your clients are relying on you to translate their unforgettable day into an unforgettable wedding album, and you donât have the luxury of cleaning up your mistakes later; the right photograph needs to be created when you click the shutter, not your computer mouse. Experiment as much as you can to master the craft and become the very best artist you can be.
