A Comparison
of Great Photography vs Poor Photography
This page demonstrates the difference between
great photography and poor photography. By studying these examples,
a more educated approach for choosing a qualified photographer
can be taken. We put forth the extra effort in posing and lighting
so that you will have "great" wedding memories!
Proper Use Of Outdoor Light - The photo on the left was taken using natural sunlight.
The photo on the right had the addition of electronic flash to
lighten the shadows on the girl's face which shows off her true
beauty!

Proper Use Of Indoor Light - The photo on the left was taken using too fast a
shutter speed. The electronic flash from the camera is the only
thing that is lighting the bridal party. The photo on the right
was taken with the same electronic flash, however, a longer shutter
speed allowed the available light within the building to bring
out the background. This created a pleasing, more natural looking
portrait.

3-Dimensional Lighting - The photo on the left was lit by a single flash
on the camera. The photo on the right utilized the same flash
on camera, however, a second flash positioned to one side of the
camera brought out more detail in the frosting. The extra flash
gave the cake a more 3-dimensional appearance. Also, the second
flash softened the dark shadow on the wall behind the cake.

|
Creative Posing - The photo on the left is a "firing squad"
style pose which lacks creativity. The men have their hands in
front of their crotch in what we call "the fig leaf"
pose. The photo on the right is more relaxed with the men standing
casually.

|
Going The Extra Mile - The photo on the left shows the wedding cake as
it was set-up with the gift table behind it. With the photo on
the right, we positioned our portrait background behind the cake
to eliminate the distracting gift table and direct the viewer's
attention to the cake.
