Wedding photography is one of the largest photography genres employing thousands of people in every country every year. the cash flow for the Wedding photography industry is substantially more than other photography genres. then Why do Wedding photographers complain that their trade or skill is not as appreciated by the industry? let’s break doWn the theory and find out.
The beginning Wedding photography has developed as and when photography has developed. Photography became a common practice in weddings as people wanted to capture their big day and save the moments as memories. Before photography developed into a mass market industry there were very few photographers who knew how to use a camera and develop film. They were rare and highly respected. Everyone knew that film (or the chemicals used) was expensive and families that were well off, would hire photographers for a few photos with the family, in their best clothes. Photographers had their own studios which was an expensive affair. After the second world war colour photography became available and wedding events started to be shot as film and developing chemicals became easier. Wedding photography has not looked back ever since and it is still, at present, one of the growing genres in the photography industry.
Wedding photography as a profession Wedding photography since the early 80s, till the late 2000s was just another profession which people practised to earn money. Since Indian economy was going through a rough phase people couldn’t afford to have a massive budget for wedding photographs. There was no intention to inculcate art into this genre of photography and people viewed it as a means to document a day in their lives. In India photographers were severely underpaid since photography had become easier with film being sold cheap and digital photography making headway. Wedding photography had become another way of earning easy money for studio photographers who lacked skills as well as artistic talent. All one needed was a basic camera, some film rolls and a flash with a reflector.
