Thank you for taking time from your busy schedule to browse
my website.
I shoot in an informal and relaxed style
and I capture
as many key moments of the day as possible. I try to limit
posing to a minimum and while my main attention is that of
the bride and groom, I always try to record as many family
members and guests as possible during your special day.
As you are searching for your photographer, at this point
you may have read, or heard of several different photo-styles
regarding wedding photography. These include: Traditional
style, Contemporary, Photo-Journalistic and Avant-garde
approaches. I will give you my interpretation of these
styles.
Traditional: If you saw your parents wedding
album, most likely it was shot in a Traditional style. Images that are more
posed and have clean, clearly defined lines of composition.
Standard staged poses for
the formals and key events.
Contemporary: This is a more modernistic style of
photography.
I consider it to be mix of the traditional style,
Photo-Journalism, and its own uniqueness, but not as
unique as Avant-garde. You could say, a mix of the old and the new.
Photo-Journalistic: Depending on who you talk to
this
could mean many things. When I hear photo-journalistic
style, I think of the images to be a capture of what is
happening, as it happens, unscripted, and un-posed. To
capture the essence of the moment without a second-take.
These take on a more candid, but clean style and tell the
story of day very clearly.
Finally, the most unique look is the Avant-garde
style. This is a style that is unique and does not
conform along common lines. If you want your album to look
completely unique and not
like any other album, this would be the style for you.
With that said, you may now be wondering, "what style does
Bob shoot?"
I do not consider myself to be
classified as a one particular
style shooter. Instead, I could be considered to be more of
a blending of the 4 above mentioned styles with a
slant towards the Contemporary/Photo-Journalism with a
smidge of Avant-garde. All the while maintaining many
of the Traditional lines when needed.
Many people feel uncomfortable when it comes to thoughts of being
photographed. Instead of presenting you with a series of
traditionally posed images. I do my best to record for you the
natural emotions of you, your family, and your guests on
your wedding day. I
work in a more candid and non-invasive fashion, but still
getting close enough to capture the intimacy of the
moment.
I strictly shoot digital and use Canon Digital SLR cameras.
Using low
light lenses allow me to work with natural light when ever possible. In my opinion, digital allows for
a greater
working latitude, and also for more creative enhancement and
color conversion in post processing.
Post-processing (after the photos are taken) is just as important as my work on
the day of your wedding. All wedding packages includes
many hours of hand finishing your
images to give you the best
possible memories of your day.
