That motion blurred photo trend is real shit.
For sure on the wider lenses! 50mm was super popular 2022-2023 now it feels like everyone uses 35mm prime
I am shooting with 16-35 2.8 GM II and 50 1.2. These lenses are perfect for my wedding practice.
Especially the 16-35, this lens is a beast.
totally agree. I have the RF Canon 15-35 basically the same lens. I love the dramatic and open space you get with the wider look. More artsy as well
I started last year using more constant light. That's becoming more popular. I use the 2 and 4 ft light sabers. I can have my assistant hold up the 4 ft and angle it perfectly for cutting the cake for example Looks like I used an umbrella strobe lighting set up. And done so quickly. I also bought the new Hobolite. Mini Max 40 watt. Looks like the old Hasselblad camera. I can then hand hold it off to the side. It's great to shoot direct flash but I like the off camera version of that. More shadows and you can control where, how much and more depth to your photos. Problem with off camera flash you lose the photo assist so you get more out of focus images. But with the Hobolite constant light you see what you get and no problems with focus on the dance floor, night outdoor photos. You can can zoom in or I just add the fresnel filter from Profoto onto it. Works better than a grid over your flash. Just another way to add flash with a different look!!!
The crooked photos aren't a trend, they are actually pretty timeless, they just have not been executed properly. Look at Jcrew ads from the 90s, its another way on showcasing motion and spontaneous moments. Its about the framing, what the subject is doing in it, the subject themselves. I incorporate them into all my photoshoots and I love them.
Great video mate
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Great video! I wish you show more of your beautiful pictures while you are talking. We are visual wedding photographers. LOL
Good to know! Thanks for the feedback!
I'm kind of divided over trends within wedding photography. I get that using a bold style can make your images stand out. Much of these styles give a very amateurish look like the photographer didn't do it deliberately but just flat out got it wrong and used that as their artistic style. I'm talking to you " Dutch Angle " 😁
Wedding photos are lifetime images, having a very trend driven stylistic approach will look very dated when viewed many years later.
Let's not forget that the way weddings were shot in the 60's and 70's were of their time. That is to say it wasn't a deliberate choice to have straight " on camera " flash, it was all they had.
The film trend I do find interesting. I shoot both 35mm and 120 film but have never shot an important event with it. I think there is a market for it however but a high level of competency is required from the photographer. I have a photographer friend who used to shoot ( film ) weddings in the 80's/90's who was always so nervous the day before he shot a wedding he was physically sick. It's stressful enough shooting a digital wedding but film takes it to a whole new level! 😲
I like using wide angle lenses in weddings, but only if it a nice venue.
Nice video!
I think boho style colour grading is another trend.
But I think, then these pictures aren't timeless anymore. In 10 or 20 years you can say: "Ah, this was shot in the boho style period.".
There’s lots of boho that’s true!
OMG, i hate the first three. I' m gonna miss the trend train this year 😀
can you do a WEDDING BTS video? :D
gotta be real *my wedding photos* would be the very last place I think I'd want to see images that look like page 17 of a weaker Provoke magazine issue. getting wider is good though that one makes sense to me as not a wedding photographer at least.
The motion blur photos is me having it in auto 😂
Hahah 😂
My 35mm has not left my R6 in months haha so I can see that being the case
Direct flash is awful. Good photographers who shot film never used direct flash for portraits, if they did, they didn't know what they were doing. This trend is invented by new photographers who don't want to learn.
Hmm. Blur may be helpful in emphasizing fast movement, like in dancing. But what a nonsense when a walking couple is blurry! Why they are blurry? Idea for you, maybe making your videos blurry to be "trendy" then? 😅
Every photo is crooked on Instagram and I dislike it a lot.
Hahah so many
Luke, I wonder how many of these trends is due to new photographers who are learning how to shot, there for reproducing lower quality images (overexposed, tilt and blur)!?🤔
Drone shots are cool, though. Certainly adds different perspective.
Interesting thought! I’ve seen all of these trends from very experienced and talented photographers thought! But I’m sure the next generation of photographers have influenced things
