Photography: The Art

I was meeting a couple today with George and Sam.

The bride told me about a photographer who was recommended to her by friends, but she does not find them fantastic because she finds that he kept shooting items in various angles in every wedding, but she could not feel the emotions nor the story behind the series of photos to intrigue her to scroll down to look at more photographs.

After the meeting, 10.30pm, we were discussing about what we had learn in that meeting.

Not only were we having the KFC which I bought at 7.30pm, we had some food for thought...

Previously, we have only considered what we would like to express through our photography and videography works, to make every single wedding work that we document to become a unique keepsake for each individual couple.

But we have never had a comprehensive thought about the differences in our styles that we are trying to project, as a value added unique selling point for each artist.

The first question the bride asked:
I've looked through all your photographers work, but as a layman, I really see no difference to choose one of them.

Do you usually allocate a photographer who is available on my wedding date to me, or what?

Can you tell me in simple terms what are their differences?

Glad that I have these experienced artists with me, George explained to her in a very comprehensive way, just that the answer is really too long for me to remember LOL.

Out of soOOOOOoo many wedding journalist, how to choose a good one?

Conclusion:
As Elliot Erwitt said,
All the technique in the world doesn’t compensate for the inability to notice.
Are you looking for photographs that are beautiful and can even be framed and hang on the wall as a piece of art, or are you looking for photographs that freeze emotions right in the moment it unfold?

Very fruitful meeting, even if the couple chose another photographer at the end of the day, we gained something priceless tonight x)
