What does cinematic wedding photography look like?

Cinematography, in essence, is defined as the art of making motion pictures. But what is cinematography for in wedding photography?

  • Cinematography, the art and technology of motion-picture photography. It involves such techniques as the general composition of a scene; the lighting of the set or location; the choice of cameras, lenses, filters, and film stock; the camera angle and movements; and the integration of any special effects.
    To me, Cinematography is an abstraction and extension of the visual experience of the photographer. It would be comparable to a musician, if he stops playing guitar, he will lost practice and in a certain way, lost his talent. As a professional photographer, I practice shaping the light, using and even recognizing which light would be great for my images.

    Adapting and reading the light comes from experience, and as I said earlier, if the light is calling you, just answer.

    To create a specific render, I use my eye, sometimes accessories like extra lens filter, prism, framing, short aperture looks but most importantly I use my knowledge about movies, paiting, music video clips, and today i haev chosen to present to you my visual universe.

  • The definition of cinematography is the art and process of movie photography. An example of cinematography is the decisions made about lighting, camera filters, and lenses when shooting a movie scene. As wedding photographers, the choice depends rarely on us. But with a piece of certain knowledge about light and how to read it, a professional photographer would know how to master the cinematic look in pretty much any circumstance. I suggest you watch movies to know what catches your attention and also try to understand the vision I try to achieve in my stories.

  • Cinematography sets and supports the overall look and mood of a wedding or elopement's visual narrative. Each visual element that appears on screen, a.k.a. the mise-en-scène of a film, as we said in Fren of the wedding day, can serve and enhance the story—so it is the cinematographer's responsibility to ensure that every element is cohesive and supports the story. As an expert wedding photographer, I always focus on providing the most unique experience and reflect the mood and atmosphere of the day in multiple images.

Photographic Poetry

“Photography is not difficult—as long as you have something to say. It can be a witness of our passage on earth, like a notebook.”
