Although it is not true, I can take this opportunity to experience the process of taking wedding photos in advance and understand the relevant precautions. Therefore, during this period, I learned a little knowledge from Baidu and asked my friends about my experience. It was still very hard. Someone mentioned a lot of things to pay attention to before taking wedding photos, but when I experienced it myself, I found that it was purely pre-marital anxiety, so just relax and enjoy it. Share my photo-taking process here, and let's see if it's really troublesome.
1, store selection
If you want to take a wedding photo, the first thing to do is to choose a store. Because I am an experiencer, the store has already been set, and I have directly crossed the store selection link, so it is not good to copy the experience here. But the process of the studio should be similar, the difference is in the details (these may as well learn from experienced customers). Newcomers can choose their own shops according to the location of the photo studio, the price of the photo album and other value-added services. If you have time, you might as well go to the store and take a look yourself.
What needs to be reminded here is that the photo studio is generally located in the business district, which is convenient for customers to consult, select and take photos, but the actual photo studio may be far away. It may take a day or two to shoot indoors there (depending on what package you choose).
Step 2 make an appointment in advance
The scenery of bloom in warm spring and Chunhua Qiushi is the most popular among new people, so there will be many people taking wedding photos at this time. If you want to freeze your youth and happiness in such a season, you must make an appointment to take pictures in advance and determine the time you want to take pictures.
I got the experience quota in mid-May. I thought I could take pictures in June at the latest, but I didn't expect to wait until the hot July. Spring without beauty and vitality makes people sigh.
Therefore, taking wedding photos is by no means a fever. We must determine the shooting in advance. Of course, you have connections (such as knowing the owner of the photo studio), except when you can jam.
3. Contact information of customer service
When you decide to take photos in the store, the photo studio will arrange special customer service for you. You can contact her if you are not clear about taking pictures in the future, including when to take pictures in the studio, what to prepare before taking pictures, when to choose films, and so on.
4. Photography
1) preparatory work
I'm going to take pictures tomorrow. Should I take a good bath today? Personal hygiene is not only refreshing, but also a good respect for makeup artists and photographers.
Although the customer service will inform the female customers in advance, such as preparing a pair of light-colored high heels and wearing strapless underwear. But MM should understand that armpit hair should be cleaned, nails should be trimmed, hair should be clean, and the body has no odor. When we arrived at the studio, there was no place or time for you to deal with these personal problems. So be sure to make these preparations at home (men can refer to women for preparation).
I don't think it's necessary to have a facial or body maintenance in advance. After all, taking pictures is a superficial effect. Even if you really show any physical defects, please ask the artist to PS.
2) On-site clothing selection
At the scheduled photo time, you can go to the photo studio to take photos yourself. There will be a makeup artist on the spot, who will guide you to look at photos of clothes on the computer, and there are also previous photo albums for reference. Which series to shoot first, and then decide what kind of clothes to wear and how many sets of clothes to wear. During the period, you can also go directly to the clothing area to choose clothes for taking pictures.
The clothes are in the studio, but the quantity is far from what I expected, and I can't see any grade. Colors of the same size are limited, especially wedding dresses. I wanted to take a photo of the bride, but somehow I changed it to a photo of * * *. I just think that I have never taken an art photo before. I chose two dresses, a gray slim skirt and a rose red dress. Well, if you can't be a bride, you have to be elegant and dignified in front of the camera.
After choosing clothes, can I try on the upper body effect and clothes size immediately? This needs to be communicated with the store. At that time, I only paid attention to the style, but I didn't realize the size problem (it was useless to realize it, and some models didn't have the right size at all). And if you have a standard figure, you can ask a makeup artist to help you adjust it. If the style is not good, there is no way.
3) make-up and dressing up
Makeup takes up more time. Mainly facial makeup. First, the eyebrow shape is corrected, then the facial base, then the eye decoration (false eyelashes, double eyelid stickers), then the thrush, blush and lip gloss. Among them, it takes the longest time to modify the eyes. No matter whether your eyelids are single or double eyelids, the makeup artist will put a double eyelid sticker on you. Make sure your eyes look big and charming.
Put on clothes after makeup, and then do your hair. In the eyes of makeup artists, straight hair is too dull, so curly hair is great love. Bangs are also necessary, either straight or off-center. After the styling is done, the whole hair will be sprayed with hair gel to fix it, so you don't need to take care of it when taking pictures (it may be troublesome for the photographer to clean it for you then).
Emphasize that makeup is mainly for the face. Neck, hands, body and other places have been "ignored". If you want to shoot well, you must be prepared in advance.
There is also a word about changing clothes. After putting on makeup, the makeup artist will bring you the clothes you chose before. Please change it in the dressing room. There is usually a mirror in the dressing room, where you can see the effect of dressing. Generally, clothes can only choose styles but not sizes, so makeup artists will try to make up for some inappropriate places (as long as these improvement measures do not enter the camera, only later).
Generally, it's a suit and styling. Facial makeup can be the same, but hair accessories will change with clothing. So after changing clothes, the makeup artist will help you adjust your hairstyle, and your hair will be loose, tied and curled. In short, you will have a different you.
Personally, the choice of photo studio and makeup level is one of the more important inspection items. Make-up should not only cover up flaws, but also highlight highlights. A better foundation should "turn decay into magic" and achieve the purpose of "easy to look". It's a pity that my experience in this studio didn't reach its peak. Although the potholes on my face were patched up, my nose didn't stand up straight, and that "I" just patched up a layer of powder (a friend said after seeing the photo that you were still the same person and didn't become another unknown person, I don't know if this is a comfort).
4) Photography
After putting on makeup, you can take pictures with the photographer. Photos are divided into interior and exterior. Interior shooting in the studio, mostly based on background setting or scene layout. My shooting was mainly done indoors.
Because it is the first time to shoot art, it is really unnatural for the photographer to guide me to do some actions. Photographers have good communication skills. He will teach you where to put your hands, which angle to tilt your head, what kind of eyes you should have, what kind of feet you should have, and so on. So novices don't have to worry about how to shoot. When you pose, the photographer will praise you in time and press the shutter immediately.
Pick a few words of the photographer's mantra at work: stretch your neck and smile, very good. When taking pictures, I was full of praise, and sometimes I was teased to pose with flowers, which had excellent results. Looking back at the photos, you will sincerely feel the magic of the photographer, but those postures that you think are very artificial are so natural and beautiful under the camera.
Interaction is necessary. When taking pictures, you can also talk to the photographer about your personal needs. For example, if you are confident in your figure, you can make some sexy moves and your chest should stand out. I believe the photographer can help you adjust to the best angle.
5, film selection
After all the photos are taken, it will take about a week to be told to go to the store to choose a film (although the customer service will tell you that it is not easy to book the weekend because there are too many people, it is recommended that you choose a film on weekdays, but it is still no problem to fight for it).
This work is mainly done on the computer, at which time you can see all the photos taken. According to the pre-agreed package, you can choose a certain number from all the photos, which are refined by the artist and selected into the album. The "density" to be explained here is actually to generally adjust the visual effect of photos and the appearance of people. Whether the effect of star posters can be achieved depends on the technical strength of the photo studio. Personally, I think the photographer's shooting level is more important than the later intensive training.
Seeing so many beautiful photos, you may think that the number of films you choose is a little too small, so you ask for more photos and then you have to pay.
Step 6 take the film
After the film selection, there is a waiting period, which lasts about two weeks or even longer. During this period, in addition to the intensive film editing, we have to complete the production of photo albums. After all the work is finished, you can go to the store to get the film. Large and small photo frames and photo albums, many things are not light in weight, and transportation problems have to be considered.
By the way, all photos and negatives are available. Even if you can't get into the book, you can still enjoy it on the computer or wash it yourself.
abstract
It really takes a lot of time to complete a wedding photography. It wasn't an accident, at least once in the studio and twice in the store. In fact, the cost of time is a trivial matter. I am afraid of problems in the middle link, such as disagreement between couples, dissatisfaction with the photography effect, and the situation on location.
Familiar with the process and mentally prepared. When it comes to real fighting, I'm not so lost. Getting married is a happy thing. Although you will encounter many trivial things when you are busy with your wedding, you should adjust your mood and fully enjoy the most splendid time of your life.
