How to choose a wedding photographer?

The style and quality of work and personality are equally important in my opinion. Which are also connected: you can make a note of the personality of the photographer based on how they photograph: main emphasis on candids in portfolio - they prefer to blend with the crowd and pay attention to details, more outgoing person will stage a lot of photos, making things happen in the shoot. Both approached are valid and should take place, but what the photographer focuses more on should be in alignment with your aesthetics. Make sure to meet your wedding photographer before signing the agreement to ask all the questions and see if you actually will get along and will vibe with the person.

Ehm, yes. New times, new inventions. A day ago a friend of mine sent me links to a photographer who does virtual sessions with models. New times we live in. But honestly, I just love the idea that even being physically limited to their homes, people still find ways to creatively express themselves. So we decided to do it and play with the idea. One video call and here is the result of our fun collaboration. It was an interesting experiment. I love to run around my models, look around, move things, direct, often not verbally. And here I am more like a witness with just suggestions to make and to talk. I think the experiment worked. What do you think?

We often don’t know how we look. We often don’t think we’re good enough. And, even if we don’t admit it, we are often trying to fit in with some standard of beauty. I do it all the time.

One of my friend asks me to take pictures of her every time we meet, but then she adds “when I lose some weight.” It’s been a year. We still haven’t taken any. The thing is, she doesn’t need to lose weight to feel beautiful, to feel empowered. There could have been so many photos taken during that year, photos that revealed her true nature—joyful, soulful, curious.
