County Durham Contemporary Wedding PhotographyWedding photography styles have changed so much in the last 10-15 years. Photographers are now much more creative and take their work seriously. Having said that there are significantly more amateur 'photographers' taking a punt these days and if you value you wedding memories it's best to stay well clear of this brigade. Contemporary Photography didn't exist in the begining, it all started with traditional wedding photography, which is a very conventional in its approach. You probably know the drill - the photographer sets up his camera on a tripod and works his way through a long list of requested group shots (which in fairness the bride probably gave him). This is the sort of album your parents would have had, and a far cry from the contemporary wedding photography offered by Craig Beck these days. In the last decade or so, wedding photographers were becoming increasingly frustrated by the formulaic routine of formal group photography and started to take photos either side of shooting the group shots. This was the beginning of reportage photography a.k.a. documentary photography or photojournalism. TIP: Sometimes amateur photographers claim to be 100% reportage by choice, often this is just to cover up missing skills and knowledge of their profession. Contemporary wedding photography is a more fashion-based approach, taking inspiration from editorial fashion photography as used in magazines like Vogue or Vanity Fair. Craig Beck has a very distinctive and unique style. Contemporary Wedding Photography Tip : A professional wedding photographer should have spent at least 10,000 hours learning his craft. A trained eye is not something you can pick up from a book. A useful trick to test your photographer: You might want to ask the photographer to analyze your face to learn how he/she will achieve the most flattering images, best angles, and so on.
