[QUOTE="Keen Ai, post: 261717, member: 20820"] I just booked my first wedding, so I read this entire thread. All the techno-garble about light setups, lenses and whatnot... then this video at the end, making all the worrying about lighting setup float right out the door. Natural light. LOL. Not that I won't bring some light, but wow... what a shift in perspective. What an amazing photographer this guy is. I really like his approach, and even though perhaps his photos are not technically the best, he has great emotion and captures great emotion, and in the eyes of the clients... what really matters more? A technically perfect posed shot or a perfect moment with warts? Which one are they going to put on the wall? Apparently Joe's got it figured out... the emotion is what people really connect with. I really connect with this guy will take this video as affirmation that the passion I have for doing this will server me better than the technical expertise with the gear. Of course I'll still need to know how to use my gear, but this video has given me a drastic boost in confidence and some great ideas. Thanks a lot for posting [MENTION=9753]Scott Murray[/MENTION] Oh, and for any wedding photographer (current or prospective), I highly recommend the above vid. Happy shooting, Keen Ai (Bryan) [/QUOTE]
