Preventing Stagnation - Continued Training For Wedding Photographers
Human society, just like the rest of the universe
, is essentially dynamic in nature. Over years and decades, people change everything they do - from their working hours to the way they conduct rituals to the food they eat. For anyone working to serve people - and this includes everyone from a domestic helper to a photographer - it is necessary to stay in touch with the latest trends. Unless you arrive at the cutting-edge and consistently stay there, it is inevitable that you will sink into boring and average life.One of the best ways to prevent stagnation is to keep in touch with the latest developments in your field. From short weekend workshops to full-fledged six-month courses, a number of "continued training" options are available for qualified professionals. Photography, here, is no exception.
As the times have changed, so have our methods of celebration. With a change in values, a change in ritual patterns is bound to follow. As a result, wedding photography is no longer a simple task of arranging people and documenting their presence - it is now expected to encompass the entire range of emotions generated at the occasion. At a good training program, photographers learn how to use their equipment to cope with the changing needs of clients, and adapt their style to the demands of a changing age.
Great art evolves only from the average art that already exists - what makes it great is often its timing, and the arresting quality that keeps people returning to it again and again. From Leonardo da Vinci to James Joyce, no artist can really be stereotyped as a "typical representative of his century". Photography here is no exception - straying away from the clichs and developing an individual style will stand any photographer in good stead. This is precisely where specialized training comes in handy.
With deeper knowledge about the capabilities of your equipment and later developments in the field, photographers are better able to create a style for themselves. Learning about the possible approaches to a particular subject can also help them pick one, or modify them according to their personal preferences.
Even after several years behind the camera, training workshops can be valuable assets to exchange tips with well-known colleagues. With the advent of the Internet, organizing and attending these has become much easier - teleseminars and "web-minars" are now quite commonplace, inexpensive and easy to access.
An alternative to group workshops and seminars is one-on-one mentoring. A mentor takes full responsibility for training an apprentice, though someone may have more than one mentor at any given time. The key to success in this method lies in the communication between mentor and apprentice. With frequent contact, constructive criticism and a regular supply of tips and encouragement, a mentor can help the talent of a new professional to emerge and make itself desired among clientele.
Always, always remember one thing - it only takes one bad season to ruin a career. Staying in touch with the latest trends can help photographers bring in an extra dimension to their work as well as please their clients better. This gives artistic as well as commercial satisfaction, thus providing everything that a professional photographer lives for.
