Im jumping with excitement about my very own book, Fine Art Wedding Photography written by the amazing Jeff Kent and published by Random House. So much love, passion, time and energy went into putting this book together. Due to be released on March 29th, 2011
Many semi-pro and professional wedding photographers are looking to “wake up” their style, stay current, and stimulate business. And today, that means lifestyle photography, also referred to as “fine art wedding photography.” Fine art wedding photography isn’t just a catchy phrase; it’s a modern approach in which design is paramount. Fine art wedding images are more graphic and stylized than traditional wedding photojournalism, as if they were pulled from the pages of a glossy wedding or lifestyle magazine.
In this book I share how to bring a stylized sense of composition, lighting, directing, and most important, design, to your images, while still keeping them organic and narrative. You’ll learn my technique of capturing the more natural moment after directing the subjects, and tips for getting images right in-camera to avoid the need for heavy postproduction. Final chapters show you how to integrate design through the delivered product, whether an album or slideshow, and continue nurturing clients after the wedding by expanding to baby and family portraiture.
Packed with real-life examples, solid techniques, and loads of images, this book will both educate and inspire photographers seeking to update their work and satisfy a new generation of brides.
