Here is another image made at the class this week. The location is Xavier catholic Church in downtown Cincinnati, Ohio. It happens to be one of my favorites. The colors and design make for a very dramatic backdrop for the bridal portrait. I chose the low angle and very wide angle lens to accentuate the "design lines" of the church. We were using one of the Quantum Trios that Quantum sent us to use for the week. The worked great. I positioned one of the class members to the right of the bride shooting through my Zumbrella to give the directional light to the scene. Balancing the exposure and underexposing the ambient by about a stop resulted in the finished result. Camera specs: Canon 5D fitted with Sigma 12-24mm lens at 14mm, F5.6 @ 1/20 second, ISO 1600. Enjoy! -David

ReplyDeleteLove the lighting but the lines are so...over the top? This shot is a little busy and lacks the clean simplicity and elegance of some of your other images.
ReplyDeleteSince you're the Master/Guru of Wedding Photographer, perhaps this clip will lighten you up for few moment :)

I can't believe this picture. Everything in it just pops out at you. If I ever shoot a picture like this, I will carry it with me at all times.

I like the shot...but not as a wedding photo. I love the architectural lines and my eyes go right there. The I saw the dress...and there's no way I could recognize the bride. This might work better if you 1) got closer to the brider; 2) used a wide angle (to get some of the ceiling); and 3) dropped the exposure even more (1 to 1-1/2stops?) on the background so the bride pops out of the background.
