Make the most of this freedom by picking an area where the light is flattering and suits the mood of the couple and the wedding. It could be soft, playful or dramatic but you should have a sense of what will work well for them and for you. Use quieter times of the day to efficiently scope out locations and light (these may change at any time, so keep this at the back of your mind). Even if you are quite familiar with a venue and work at it frequently, it\u2019s important to do this as conditions can change dramatically from one day to the next, so be fully prepared to keep adapting to the conditions.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_129900&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 650px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129900\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Tiree-Dawson-Feeling.jpg\" alt=\"Tiree Dawson Feeling\" width=\"630\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/08\/Tiree-Dawson-Feeling.jpg 630w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/08\/Tiree-Dawson-Feeling.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/08\/Tiree-Dawson-Feeling.jpg?resize=600,400 600w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/08\/Tiree-Dawson-Feeling.jpg?resize=562,375 562w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 630px) 100vw, 630px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: Tiree Dawson<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Create feeling and mood<\/h2>\n<p>Being able to build a rapport and trust quickly with your couple is something that comes with experience.

Make sure you have a memorised collection of simple prompts and games that you can use to help them feel more at ease, and encourage them to focus on each other rather than the distractions of wedding-day details.

What it can rarely do though is truthfully capture the whole feeling of the moment. For me the editing process is my way of bringing the emotion back. This is why I never outsource any of my post-processing; I believe it is best done by the person who took the image. Your experience of the moment far exceeds what you see through the viewfinder, and careful editing can help recreate how it felt. Keep up to date with editing techniques and make a habit of frequently comparing your finished products and raw files. Try to shoot with a post-editing process in mind, so that when you work on it afterwards it will be all part of the plan!<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kit list<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Old 50mm lens for freelensing<\/strong> This type of lens doesn\u2019t even need to be the same make as your camera body as you won\u2019t actually be attaching it.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lastolite reflector<\/strong> Brilliant for opening up shadows and creating catchlights for a flattering look.

Try not to choose a background with too much highlight as it takes attention away from the face. Ideally you want to aim for the face to be the brightest part of your image. I find that placing my subjects against a wall or in an alleyway helps to create depth and perspective in my images.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_129901&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 440px\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-129901\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Chris-Bailey-light.jpg\" alt=\"Chris Bailey light\" width=\"420\" height=\"630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/08\/Chris-Bailey-light.jpg 420w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/08\/Chris-Bailey-light.jpg?resize=300,450 300w, https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2019\/08\/Chris-Bailey-light.jpg?resize=267,400 267w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 420px) 100vw, 420px\" \/>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">Credit: Chris Bailey<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<h2>Find the direction of light<\/h2>\n<p>The beauty of working with daylight is that it\u2019s one of the best qualities of light available and it\u2019s absolutely free! You don\u2019t need to invest in expensive studio lights, after all, those studio strobes are just trying to imitate daylight. When the sun is high, the light will be harder and produce strong shadows, but when the sun is low, the light will be softer and will produce more even results. The direction of light matters, and placing your subject in relation to the sun is crucial. I find this position by placing my hand out in front of me and turning around in a full circle. This may sound silly and look odd but look at how the quality of light changes on your hand as you move it.

Bokeh is achieved by using a low f-stop such as f\/2.8 or f\/4 to help make your headshot \u2018pop\u2019 from the image and separate your subject from the background.

You can completely change the look of a person\u2019s face by where you allow the shadows and highlights to fall. Try placing the side of your subject\u2019s face near a wall and watch their face gently fall into shadow.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kit list<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>5-in-1 reflector<\/strong> A reflector is my go-to tool for portraits and headshots.

If you\u2019re just starting out, a 50mm f\/1.8 lens from Canon or Nikon is a relatively cheap lens which delivers fantastic results.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lastolite EzyBalance<\/strong> Selecting the correct white balance can be tricky when working with daylight as the light temperature can change very quickly, especially on a cloudy day.

Take a test shot before they start any movement to check light direction, exposure and overall effect.

Be prepared to do some research, recces and forward planning so when the conditions are right you can just jump (excuse the pun) right into it. For this shoot we headed down to an isolated beach in Devon, and had it to ourselves. It would have been a real pain to clone people out of the background.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Kit list<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Go wide<\/strong> Portraiture and wideangle don\u2019t often get mentioned in the same sentence, but I have a very old 15-35mm Sigma lens, which I love and perfect for this approach. Technically the lens is flawed (the corners vignette), but I find the effect a good characteristic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The Photographer\u2019s Ephemeris app<\/strong> This is my first port of call for any location photoshoot. The Photographer\u2019s Ephemeris app enables me to plan for the light direction and sunrise and sunset times.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Food and drink<\/strong> When out on location, it\u2019s vital to take supplies. If it\u2019s a hot day pack plenty of water; if it\u2019s cold, a flask of tea and some biscuits will prove to be popular with your model. You\u2019ll need to keep energy levels up so they perform well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.clairegillo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Claire Gillo<\/a> is AP\u2019s acting technique editor, a freelance writer, and a photographer based in Devon.
