Do people prefer B&W or Color Wedding Photographs? If B&W, are thy good enough from Digital Photographers? |
I am doing some research about Black and White Photography, and thought this is a good place to start. I have been under the impression that today digital wedding photographers really do not pay as much attention to final product, and instead give their customer photographs straight from their camera, and let the customer do with the photographs whatever they choose. Do you other people think the same way? I am doing research for a new article which I will be publishing on wiki.worldonpaper.com Thanks All. Hi, As a digital photographer myself, personally, the final product is everything to me. Each image is proof of what I can give to a potential client. I get work mainly from word of mouth and every photograph I take is individual and special, just like the client. When I have shot the wedding, I sort through the images to ensure only the best ones are presented as proofs to the client. They will then look through the images to choose which ones they would like to keep. I give suggestions as to which would look better in B&W based on my experience as a photographer. B&W can look very 'arty' if the right images are used. Obviosly any images that have a lot of colour, ie flowers, cake etc would be better in colour and as a general rule, scenes with a lot of detail look better in B&W as colour can sometimes be distracting. I do know of photographers than run a system where the client chooses the images and then simply prints them or worse still, just gives the images on CD/DVD and the clients has to print them themselves, but professionals will take time to retouch images so they look the best they can for years to come. After all, once the cake has been eaten, the suits returned and the honeymoon is over, the photographs will the lasting memory of the couples special day. Hope that helps. AJ I think that B&W pics are better looking than color ones!!! i personally like both i think that the black and white just make it look simple and clean. however color adds life and joy and you can see the complexity of it with color. I love the look of black and white pictures, they are much more romantic Another great think about balck and white is that they they minimize flaws in your pictures i would invest in a professional photographer, ask to see a book of his black and white photos We have been in the process of interviewing new labs and that seems to be case. They don't want to take the time to learn how to do it. We take the time to produce a polished product. In your article, please mention that there are some digital photographers that can do color management and make work that looks like medium format - we do. Go with the real film! There was a woman on this board the other day, who said her pic were all miscolored/ I wonder if the photographer will fix them. I prefer B&W wedding photos. Too many times, someone in your wedding party did their own makeup and look washed out or like a clown. B&W photos don't have that problem, and I think they are a bit more timeless. Luckily, you can also turn all your color photos to B&W in photoshop :) I did |
