Indian Wedding Photography Styles

Indian Wedding Photography Styles June 29, 2019 You've chosen your date, booked your venue and started shopping for dresses. Now you're looking for a Indian wedding photographer. There are a lot of styles of Indian wedding photography out there, and while people in the industry might know these styles inside out they be confusing for couples.

Remember as well that not only are you picking a style of photography, but different types of wedding photography can make different demands on your time on your wedding day.

Picking the style of photography you want at your wedding boils down to three things. What style of images you want, how long you want to spend with a photographer on your wedding day, and most importantly of all your own personality and comfort in front of the camera.

There are plenty of different photography buzzwords out there. Vintage, editorial, artistic or contemporary are just a few. Perhaps more confusingly they are used by different photographers in different ways. Ultimately it is up to couples to ask plenty of questions and do plenty of research before picking a photographer, and to rely on seeing full set of photos from completed weddings Do not rely on the best five or six shots from several weddings to make a choice.

Indian wedding photography styles are a compromise between producing fantastic work and keeping to a timetable. A photographer might produce brilliant photos, but if he takes too long to produce them you probably won't enjoy the experience.

Traditional (or Posed) Indian Wedding Photography A lot of people think of traditional Indian wedding photography as endless stuffy group photos where everyone looks stiff as a board. Worse still, the different collections of people seem to go on forever. I think there is a fashion to be down on traditional Indian wedding photography, but the actual working framework is still the same for most wedding photographers. The photographs may be more stylish but the actual experience on the day for the bride and groom is very similar.

Vintage Wedding Photography Vintage wedding photography is a style that has been coming into vogue recently, but in lots of ways its a hard one one to quantify. Vintage can mean anything from using old film cameras during some of the wedding to just a different approach to post production to produce 'vintage' looking digital files. There are some great photographers out there, but bear in mind that if you are receiving files that are heavily edited in a certain style, you run the risk of your photos looking rather dated a few years later. If I was hiring a vintage style photographer, I personally would want at least some of the wedding shot on film, I'm not a huge fan of faking things. As always ask questions, see examples and make an informed decision.

Artistic or Fine Art Indian and Asian Wedding Photography Essentially an evolution of traditional Indian and Asian wedding photography, this type of photography offers a contemporary take on the traditional set of posed photographs, although these are both terms that have been somewhat over used by the photographic community, so again do your research. At its best this genre can produce moving romantic images, but some photographers can over use the same

poses, so it can feel a bit impersonal. Ask to see lots of shoots and don't be afraid to input your own ideas at your pre-wedding meeting.
