After second shooting twice this year, I realized how important it is and that even when you're busy you should try to do it more often. So when I had the chance to second with Izlas for this wedding, I jumped on it and am glad I did. This wedding was super challenging to me. The home they got ready at wasn't very photogenic, the church was dull, outdated and cramped, etc. I'm definitely processing a lot more black and white and might even start shooting some in camera. Here are a few that I would like to share with everyone. C&C appreciated. Enjoy.

5 is my favorite picture I've ever seen you post, and one of the best I've seen on the board in a while.

Hey Scott,
I hear ya on the 2nd shooting part. One can definitely get the creative juices going at an "easier" rate when the pressure is not on. For some c+c buddy,

#1 - wish this was sharper, looks a little soft like you dragged the shutter a bit. Good eye, but would have been better if the shoes were sharp and not the sheet it was on.

#2 - is the hairspray your point of subject? I'm a little lost in the composition since the pic is still a little soft and my eyes are wondering around for that focal point.

#3-5 - Good job on the journalist part especially on 5. I like the framing and way to capture the moment

14 - good eye!
15 - is thinking outside the box, I would have done the same thing there.

I'm not a big fan of the b/w converts on these since i know that you can do better like on that e-session you last did that looked like it was smothered w/ some chocolate goodness ..mmmMMm..

Hope this helps some man, I know you do some great work, but I feel (from what you have posted) that you could have done better with the little details.


Hope everyone had a good holiday, back to work in the a.m.
