How I Photograph Weddings as a Street Photographer: In this video, I talk about how I see the correlation between Wedding Photography and Street Photography.
Using the documented shooting approach of Tony Ray Jones, I'll explain how the way we photography on the streets can aid us when photographing documentary weddings.
Details of my talks at the 2019 Photography show can be found here: bit.ly/2O2ma3d
In this video I talk about the great photographer, Tony Ray-Jones and his shooting approach notes:
Be More Aggressive
Get More Involved
Stay with the subject matter
Take Simpler Pictures
Relate Background to Subject
Vary Composition and Angles
Be more aware of composition
Don’t take boring pictures
Get in closer
Don’t shoot too much
Not all eye level
I explore in depth how I use those guidelines in Street Photography, but also how I incorporate them into my documentary wedding photography.
At the end of the video is another full-length wedding Photofilm, so hang around to the end if you wish to see that.
As ever, please feel free to leave comments below and I'll do my best to get back to you as soon as I can.
Oh, and don't forget our new podcast: www.fujicast.co.uk
Happy Snapping!
Kevin

I gained my LBIPP & LMPA in the early 1980s! I'm confident that your efforts at Wedding Photography would have been laughed out of the building! Snapshots at a Wedding is not Wedding Photography!

@kevin_mullins 5 лет назад

Luckily, perhaps in part of my 'snapshots' I've achieved my associateship and beyond and been a judge for many panels including the MPA. I've also been to places as far afield as Argentina, Japan, America and Africa talking about my 'snapshots'. Luckily we don't all have the same view of photography - it would be a boring world if we did. One thing I am very much aware of though is that one person's passion is another person's negativity. It's a shame, because style and appreciation of images (in my opinion) should be something people consider and, even if it's not to their liking, understand that we aren't all the same. Today, in fact, I had maybe 400 people come to listen to me speak about my 'snapshots' at the photography show. I'm not naive enough to think they all loved the images, but much like I don't like fried eggs, I'd never tell my wife she was wrong to eat them.

@jamescrockford5122 5 лет назад

There speaks a person who may not realise that lots of people wore shell suits in the 80’s and they were laughable, so not everything that was good in the 80s is good now. But I guess you are still wearing shell suits.

@robgillespiephoto 5 лет назад

I'm not sure what you're actually getting at Stephen. 'L' is the lowest qualification on the ladder - correct? You gained it (but presumably didn't go any further otherwise you would have said so) nigh on FORTY YEARS ago and yet with your comment you still seem to think you're an authority on wedding photography? Do you not think that it may have moved on a bit on those four decades? Actually, I get it now. Given how awful most wedding photography was in the 1980s you're actually giving Kevin a compliment. Silly me!

@stephenmason5682 5 лет назад

@@robgillespiephoto you are assuming I have stayed in Photography as my Profession! Not so! To suggest that Wedding Photography, as a Specialism was bad in the good old days says more about you than us oldies! I did not need to progress in the Qualification route, to quote you, because it was more about ego than ability, and I also managed 12 years Lecturing in the Subject at 'A' level, my main thrust in the Profession as to put my two Daughters through Private Schooling, rather than stick in an ever evolving trade! As to modern Wedding Photography, I would remind you that Couples wanted Fashion / Art shots NOT some plonker running around taking 500+ snaps of everything that happens? We left those shots to ' Uncle Bill ' who was not good enough to take the wedding itself, but could capture the atmosphere? We didn't know how our shots were turning out by simply looking at the DSLRs back, so had to Know about exposure etc., and compose correctly first time! As a reference, WE were expected to hit the correct exposure +/- .5 - 1 exp unit? Can you honestly say what exposure you should be using, without resorting to your histogram? Can you even use a light meter? I bet you don't even know the difference between Depth of Field and Depth of Focus? Don't jump to Google, for an easy answer, just tell me the diameter of a circle of confusion? No cheating!!

@stephenmason5682 5 лет назад

@@jamescrockford5122 is this the best you can come up with, shell suits? Sad little millennial snowflake? That's the new epithet isn't it? I taught the bloody subject for 12 years, not ran around with a glorified auto everything on a strap!

@PaulTimlett 5 лет назад

Brilliant. Love the wedding video. I rarely take images of people but when I do I like them to be of a documentary style. With this in mind I took my X-Pro2 to my nephew’s wedding in March. I applied everything I’d learned from your videos over the years and was delighted with the results. More importantly so were the bride and groom. All black and white of course and at times using an ISO of 12,800! I’ll never be a people shooter. I do landscapes. But I had a great time and captured some of the best images I’ve ever taken. Thank you Kevin.

@jillianhorsley5985 5 лет назад

I loved watching this, photographing a wedding is recording family history, the images will be viewed many times over, some of the people in the images may well have passed away but remain intact in the bride and grooms memory. Thank you for this, it is my view that this IS how a wedding should be shot, people are not cardboard cut outs all wearing the same " Rabbit caught in the headlight " pose...you are talented.

Kevin - you captured the heart of the wedding ad most certainly have followed your formula for success. I find your particular style not only appropriate for the time, but more often the requested candid, more modern style. There is a place for classic "stack em' like so many chess pieces and worry about the blinkies" style also for those that like it but I find your documentary style fresh, interesting, and more memorable for B&G, family and friends in attendance and isn't that what it's all about? Great job!

@leemurray9137 4 года назад

Hi Kev, love your pictures! Don’t agree with your theory that we will have no pictures in the future of how life used to be. I was surprised to learn that more digital photos were taken (typically) in the last three days than were taken in the entire history of film. Everyone has a camera in their pocket and I’m sure history photos will be preserved and well documented for many years.

@strangescribe1 5 лет назад

I just love this ethos Kevin. It seems new kit is being thrown at us from every angle with pixel counts ramping up and higher specs being the paramount consideration at times. What about simply taking pictures with the kit we've got? All I can boast right now is an old original x100 with a firmware update and an Olympus em 10 MK 2 with a few nice lenses. I couldn't really afford anything more expensive. I'd love an x100F one day, but alas, not yet. A story. I attended friends wedding a couple of months ago - and just took my old x100 along, set for black and white jpeg. Using your whole approach, I took many shots that day. The couple were completely blown away by them because I caught the 'moments' the professional photographer might have missed when he was busy elsewhere. Everything on this video I completely agree with. It's great to be able to upgrade your kit every couple of years, but if you can't - just love the gear you've got and get good with it. People still 'wow' at your shots.

@macmac8122 5 лет назад

I'm doing my first wedding shoot next week with Fuji XT3, X-Pro2, 50mm F2, 16mm 1.4 and maybe Voigtländer 58mm 1.4 (if I can get my speedlight on a tripod installed in a corner and get some "official" portraits as well). I bought the Godox 350F and 685F especially because I though they were essential. But your video was a great inspiration, because this is the kind of photography I would like to do, street/reportage and it looks like I do have the tools to do it.

Hi Kevin, a late comment, hope You read it though. One of Your best videos!! I honestly love Your photographs and admire Your ability to catch those unique and often deep emotional moments in Your pictures. One point I often struggle with is how to crop a picture. At what point reframing the picture makes it better? A good example is the photo at 22:06. I think I would habe cropped it on the right to cut out those two people and get the row of people centered and to give them the best impression without distraction. How do You decide? And do You crop Your pictures at all? ;-) All the best, Peter

Love the whole doco style wedding shoot. Been involved in 3 weddings of friends and the 1st was interesting. My friend, a pro, had tasked me with doing the photojourno thing. Shooting bridal prep taught me a lesson re : gear. My colleagues shot with large dslr's and every time they went to shoot people would stop what they were doing and smile/pose! Whereas with my XE-1 I was largely ignored and therefore got the more spontaneous pics....lesson: learned....go small ;-) Oh and the way you weaved "Wales" and "winning" in a single sentence! :-O

Kevin, great video on the similarities of street and wedding photography. My question is about setting your viewfinder to B&W. Do you do this regardless of whether you'll end up making a B&W image?

@nearypaul 5 лет назад

Another great video. Many thanks for the continued inspiration. Out of interest, do you ever get asked to take formal posed pictures as part of the package? Or is that something that gets taken off the menu right from the start. I can see a bride getting half way through the wedding.....”can you take a picture of me with the bridesmaids”. Do you tactfully decline? Or just humour them and delete it later?

@kevin_mullins 5 лет назад

It's really all part of the branding. Typically clients who don't want that come to me. That said - I'm not going to refuse the odd shot here and there, but if it looks like it's going to turn into a fashion shoot then I'll explain again why I'm there.

@kevin_mullins 5 лет назад

Thanks, Peter. I'd say in Street, the percentages are much lower. Perhaps 1 in every 10 I might be happy with. And that doesn't necessarily mean I'd print or publish them. That number is even lower. For weddings, I'm aiming for 1 in every 3 images to get to the client these days - though often it's nearer 1 in 4 or 5.

So you shoot RAW and view in black and white (to see the light).... Will the image still be in color? I like the idea of viewing in b&w if possible while color capture images, usually both jpg and raw on my Canon dslr D70 and mirrorless M50.

Yes, the RAW files will always be in colour (unless you are using something like a Leica Monochrome camera).
