Wedding Da Season Hai...

The month of November has arrived, and you can already sense a cold in the air. But if you delve a little deeper, you can sense the enthusiasm rising inside Indian houses now that wedding season has started. This month always sends out pleasant emotions to the Indian psyche, thus it's become a tradition for us here at Asian Photography to devote our November issue entirely to weddings. This month, we spoke with three experienced photographers from India and asked them to discuss their experiences with this type of photography and what keeps them interested in it. All of these photographers have had a lot of success in their area and have been around for a long time.

Best Lenses for Wedding Photography

Wedding photography is challenging to say the least. During the average wedding shoot, you will photograph the couple, the wedding party, the ceremony, the venue, the gifts, action on the dance floor, perhaps even the food at the reception. You'll be expected to capture great pictures indoors and out, often starting in the morning and going well into the evening. As you learn wedding photography, one must be a master of macro photography, capturing portraits, taking clear pictures of people in movement, and so much more. A good wedding photographer clearly requires a wide range of abilities. They also require the greatest tools for the job. After all, there are no do-overs during a wedding ceremony. A decent lens is one of the most important things you'll need. In truth, it's not so much an issue of selecting the greatest lens for wedding photography as it is of finding a lens that will allow you to shoot images in a range of scenarios. With this in mind, the reality is that a wedding shoot will necessitate the use of various lenses.

Most essential photography terms – part 2

In the previous issue we did an article on most essential photography terms. Continuing the same, we have the Part 2 for our readers. Photography terminologies are many and may be quite challenging for beginner photographers to grasp. However, understanding the photography phrases used to explain crucial processes can allow you to appreciate photography much more. Some technical jargon is simply that: jargon. Listening to two photographers converse makes it appear as though they are speaking a foreign language. Outside of photography, all of the technical words have little or no relevance. You will struggle to master photography, much alone have an informed discourse about it, until you understand at least the most basic of these photographic words. The more you practise, the easier it becomes, just like anything else you learn. The more you utilise photographic words and jargon, the faster they will become second nature to you.

Questions To Ask When Chosing A Camera

We frequently receive queries from folks who are in the process of selecting a camera.

How To Analyse A Photograph

Photographs are widespread in today's culture. Photographs are utilised in a variety of media, from news stories to ads. It might be claimed that a photograph is more than just a snapshot in time; it also has an intended meaning and seeks to have an influence on its audience. When most of us look at an image, we just notice the surface message. Photographs, on the other hand, might have deeper meanings. Photographers, like authors and other artists, employ a set of guidelines in their work to express meaning. They utilise their trade tactics to signify one thing on the surface and something quite different upon closer inspection. As the quote goes, a photograph says a thousand words. We have a tendency to glance at pictures and immediately deduce their meanings. We often make inferences about images without paying any consideration to how we do so. This step-by-step article will teach us how to answer the question, "How do we come to understand an image?"

AN ART FORM THAT CAPTURES OUR MEMORIES: WORLD PHOTOGRAPHY DAY
