"Authenticity" is just a relative concept in the field of the business wedding dress photography, it is not an absolute sense of authenticity but a kind of aesthetic sense of authenticity, that is to say, whether a work can give a person with sense of authenticity not directly depends on the fact itself but more depends on our photographing way.

Design first, then realize

Documentary style of wedding dress photography is not the creative photographing of capturing "decisive moment", but a commercial photographing mode through fully advance design, the establishment of the previous period of photographing conception and photographing project is the key to success.

Generally speaking, the previous design of the traditional style wedding dress photos has significant difference with the previous design of the documentary style wedding dress photo in the concrete treatment and emphasis point. The key lies in: the focus of the documentary style wedding dress photo is the final scene effect, to get the feeling that we want on the basis of the strict arrangement and fine design, this is the key to win the recognition of the market.

The evolution of the style

For the production of documentary photography, it can be said that the western wedding photography is its source of inspiration, the improvement of consumers’ living standard and the increasingly frequent contact European wedding constitute the market foundation of the realization of this kind of style.

The whole photographing idea of the documentary style wedding photos tends to the creation of scene feeling, which tries to give a person with more natural, more friendly, more tender and more true feeling. From the photography technology level, documentary style photography tends to simulate the real scene realistically as far as possible, from the creation of shadow effect to the design and capture of character’s action, it pursues a sense of reality and recording. With the reference to the principle of documentary photography, the photographers try to put the angle in the objective position, try not to interfere the subjects as far as possible, try to give the subjects the space to express free emotion so as to give the scene more rich and naturalized style. In specific operation, the photographers hope they can show the so-called "critical moment", they try to capture the critical scenes and critical moments as well as character’s critical action-this is different from the traditional sense of static "beauty appearance" and "manner", so the final effect also appears more vivid and lively. 

Authenticity

Simply Analyze the Shooting Idea from a Photo

How to take the photos with unique colors and composition?

Skill 1: Ways of composition in photos 1, 2 and 3

The above photo contains three elements, so it looks more comfortable by people’s sight. The elements are children, humming birds and sea wave.

Skill 2: Use the foreground

Cameraman uses the humming birds and stones as the foreground to set off the children and sea wave.

Skill 3: Diagonal composition

Composition is very important for a good photo. We make the foreground on the diagonal place of the image and the whole photo is livelier. If you try to make the stone and humming birds at the lower part, the whole effect will be dull.

Skill 4: Add special feelings in after-stage

If we use common DSLR to take photo, the feeling of photo maybe is not perfect, so we need to use Photoshop or Lightroom to change the colors (adding some green), increase the contrast and saturation and add four black corners so as to achieve LOMO feeling.
