Ask to see their previous work, pick the one you like most. It's your wedding, not /p/'s,

whats the go with, owning the rights to the photos, even though you are paying someone to take the photos, is it true that they own the material until they sell/give the rights of the image? even though they are hired for that reason?

Just one thing about wedding photography and pricing.

Why are you having a wedding? It is a big day. A once in a life time event that you will reflect back on when you and your partner are old. Sitting back in your comfy couch in front of a crackling fire place you will reminisce over fading photo albums and foggy memories. Memories of the day you and your wife/husband will say your vows, eat a fancy meal, get drunk and have the best night of your life.

Your photographer? He will be lugging around two fully laden camera bodies, countless lights and a chest full of trepidation. "Will I get enough shots?", "What if I fuck up?", "I brought enough SD cards, right?". Every wedding is a high pressure shoot. While working, your photographer will traverse multiple venues, ward off moronic family members and bend over backwards (sometimes literally) to nail every shot. While you lapse off to some romantic honeymoon in a fancy location your photographer will be glued to his screen PPing your photos. If he is a good photog he will always look at his photos and demand more of himself - insomnia is the price of perfection.

Sure you can get a photographer who doesn't charge as much. But what you save in money you risk losing a professional who has copious amounts of talent, experience, gear, and endurance to make your day special.

There are people out the who will try and scalp you on your price. But if you look for some pros who do charge a lot their work is worth it. The dedication and professionalism of someone who truly knows what they are doing is worth the money (if you were keen to spend it on a photographer).

So how do you know who is worth it? Review all local photographers. Ask for samples of their work, how much experience they have, how many weddings have they done. If you are really committed you can ask to meet at the photographers studio/office to have a chat. Research, research, research is about the best advice I can give you.

I thought this would be a guy following a random girl around at a party, but this is just the guy's friends that want to help him make a video.
Nothing wrong with this video.

This isn't a gray area, it's full on illegal. Melissa Midwest was arrested three times for public indecency because of filming in public.

The biggest thing if you're going to do this is make sure the location is *not* identifiable. That way they don't know what jurisdiction to prosecute in.

Granted, it's a low chance risk, but it's still a risk.

Use the catalog next time.

That's not a 'general photography bag' thread that's a 'post YOUR bag' thread.

Can't really help you since you are in the EU. I would recommend the Think tank mirroless mover 5. It's mostly weather proof and also comes with a rain cover. It's belt mountable and you can take off the strap it comes with.

>>2788883
I don't think it's commonplace, but what if you got a button and stuck it on top of the shutter button and used that to trigger the speedlight? All it needs from the hotshoe is to have its circuit closed, yeah?

Since you're going down this gear-laden path you may just want to get a DSLR or mirrorless camera with a hotshoe instead of a bridge cam.

>he fell for the bridge meme

If it has its own pop up flash, you can use it to trigger an optical slave flash like a Yongnuo, and you can put a flash card (or something) in front of the on-board flash to keep it from hitting your subject directly.

>>2788839
what, do you expect us to have synesthesia op? how about you put that feeling music gives you into words, describe the look you visualise and work from there

>>2788839
Dark and atmospheric? Well you could underexpose, drop the highlights and white level, and then raise the blacks. Look up matte and haze tutorials.

Avoid really harsh lighting like the sun at morning or evening. You could theoretically work with it but just as a general guideline. Dim lights are also good but remember you can always lower the exposure in post, don't end up giving yourself unusable shadows.

Wide aperture to soften the image and isolate the subject. Maybe some motion blur from a slow shutter would help it feel atmospheric and disconnected from reality.

In post, you can add some moody colours with split toning and such, and adding grain and then blurring it (if you're using the grain slider in lightroom or photoshop's camera raw (import or filter, same thing) it'll blur the image after adding grain for you when you adjust size and roughness) with the grain to soften it can help.

You got any photos you attempted for this project?

>>2788839
Freelensing. It's when you disconnect your lens and only hold it up to the body. Gets dreamy real quick and you can introduce some odd blur.

Nikon CoolPix L3

Got it when I was 15,
5MP, took 2 AA batteries, which lasted less than 100 shots, had a decent optical zoom, ridiculous blues, and was tiny. I took the best astro photos with this, holding the lens up to my telescope.
A royal piece of shit, but I used it a ton.
It's in a drawer next to me right now.

Used to have a U50. Now have a U30 that I found at Goodwill a couple months ago; and realized that shiny spot in the front is a selfie mirror.

Get good prints (Match your processing, coloring, and exposure up with a printer that produces consistent results).

Mat them well.

Frame them nicely in consistent but minimal frames as to make the m look polished, but not distracting.

If it fits the purpose, try to keep your photos thematically linked.

why dont you go work for national geographic
