p.1 #17 · p.1 #17 · I did an engagement session and the bride did not like the photos | |
I'm just curious, but did the bride see a portfolio of your work? What type of photography do you normally do?
In all honesty, I don't see how these photographs are unappealing to most couples. I can repeat the crowd and say the processing was a bit heavy, some shots too close up, weaker storytelling than usual, etc. But all of this comes with practice. For a first session, you did pretty well in my eyes. Take the critiques you agree with, and keep that in mind for the next session.
Don't let this session get to you too much. If the bride never saw a portfolio of you photographing people, how would she know what to expect? People have different styles and tastes, which is why there are so many of us wedding photographers out there.
As for her complaining about her weight, this is just her own insecurities. Yeah you can go into the next session shooting with a longer lens and angling downward to make her look more narrow, but don't let that be the main theme. Work on storytelling, composition, and lighter/consistent post processing.
Good luck and happy shooting!
