Riassunto

At any wedding you attend, you will not only see the professional photographer, but a host of the happy couple's friends and family, cameras in hand, all looking to capture the definitive shot of the perfect day. The portability and adaptability of digital photography has opened up the world of wedding shooting; however, on such a special occasion it's vital that the photographer is confident that he or she is up to the job. The Wedding Photography Field Guide-although compact enough to fit easily into a suit pocket-offers comprehensive and easy-to-follow advice on how to do the special day justice. Whether it's dimly lit churches or lively dance floors, wedding photography presents particular and demanding locations, and you rarely have much time to shoot. All the situations you're likely to encounter are covered here, along with advice on the best equipment, posing, people-management, and technique. The book also explores different styles of wedding photography, from the classic formal portrait to modern reportage approaches, with inspirational shots from leaders in the field.

"Focal Press, the publishing company behind so many great photography technique and instruction titles, has a series of books they call their "Field Guide" series. These books are compact, only slightly larger than a 4x6 photo and about 200 pages. But they are stuffed full of the most crucial info on the topic at hand. Easily tucked into a briefcase or a camera bag, you can take these books anywhere. Read them on the subway on the way to work and make use of that dead time to learn new techniques. Then keep the book in your camera bag as a reference when on location. Subjects range from Weddings to Bird Photography to the DSLR."--Photo.net
