 "I'm going to show you what I do in order to save time in post-production." Will Cadena by Skip Cohen One primary ingredient in being a success as a wedding photographer is all about being a great storyteller. The wedding album isn't just a collection of beautiful photographs but the story of the couple, their wedding day and capturing the details, especially in the bridal gown. Remember, a well-done wedding album is the first family heirloom of a brand new family! (You should be able to hear angels blowing trumpets at this point! LOL) It's "Wednesdays with Westcott," and this new video featuring Will Cadena is loaded with wisdom! His quote above says it all - if your images are clean right out of the can it's going to save you time. Time is your most valuable commodity and rather than sitting at your computer cleaning images up in post-production, if you do things right from the beginning, you're going to have more time to market yourself! One of the things I love most about this video is Will and Westcott's, additive approach to lighting. After you watch the video check out the article, which will take you through each ingredient being added to create the final portrait above. "If you want to make money, do it in the camera!" That's Will's other quote that hit me hard. So many of you think you're saving time with a fix-it-in-post attitude when the reality is your wasting time. So, take three minutes now and check out Will's tips on capturing the details in the wedding dress!  Click to read Will's article on the Westcott blog Interested in raising the bar on your skill set?

The more skilled you become as a photographer, you have so many more images to collate, tweak, reorder and number etc. So, getting it more-or-less perfect straight off is sound advice. Your comment will be posted after it is approved.
