About stunning pictures!

Ok, this is on my mind for years, what do persons like about a picture, when is it stunning? What do you like?

To be honest I am not a big fan of heavy photoshopping or post processing, I want my pictures to be crisp and sharp with natural colors. A good photographer should be able to master his camera in a way that pictures are good strait out of the camera, although that's my aim. But who can do that? Well after investigating for a while not a lot of photographers can do that.

I see “professional” photographers with poor results work like crazy to make something out of the pictures afterwards with Photoshop or any other sophisticated editing software, that's the part I don’t like. For me its much more fun and a challenge to get it good right away.

The big question is what do you see in a picture, and what do I or others see in a picture.
You will see completely different aspects and might love a picture, while I might say that colors are completely wrong, or the color of the sky is white when it suppose to be blue, its not focused etc. you know what I mean?

The majority of international photographers that I found on the internet with a reputation of producing stunning pictures, are heavy Photoshop users. Of course you must love it when pictures are so much changed. I even found out that some spend an average of 40 hours after the wedding shoot to edit the pictures. These guys must ask a fortune for a job.

As I mentioned before
our package rates are very competitive and offers outstanding value for money, they include basic re-touching and image correction.
But ok, if you are willing to spend more of course we can schedule 8-10 hours just shooting, and I can sit behind my computer for days as well. But the problem is I am so busy with photo shoots (4 – 5 a week) that the time is simply not there.

An example of a non photoshopped sunset picture straight out of my camera. I love that! 

 

 

Talking about budget and time involved, always ask yourself how much you like to spend in time and money.
Don’t expect miracles with a one hour photoshoot, on just one location, close to sunset. Sure you get beautiful pictures, but possibilities are limited. Consider some pictures before the wedding. OK it might be a logistic challenge but you will love them forever, and believe me more and more brides are doing it. You think it's not possible? consider the day before, or a few day’s after.
