subject: How to Become a Wedding Photographer - Earn Money As a Wedding Photographer [print this page] Wedding Photography has always been a very profitable profession but it's not very obvious to many people. Most of the time, people go into photography mainly for the exceptional passion of capturing pictures, others for the beauty of being able to preserve beautiful memories. Photography is a very passionate thing to do with your time and could be very profitabel as well. These days, photography is getting more and more lucrative especially with the advent of the internet. You could sell any picture for an average of $10 on the net. That's just a modest figure as very many pictures have been sold for more than $75. Now you know that Photography can make you nice money, below you'll learn about one type of photograhy which can be very challenging but always pays off in the end.
Wedding photography is the art effectively capturing, in pictures, all important events tied to a wedding ceremony. Now this is just a definition but wedding photography is not as easy as it sounds. Personally, I will advise that you have had at least some experience, knowledge or training with shooting portriats and still images before taking on wedding photography. This is because if you're not that good at it and you end up doing a bad job, you could be looking at a lawsuit except if you don't live in a place like America where you sign a contract before shooting for a couple at their wedding. You could get sued for any omission or anything unprofessional generally so taking up a job when you can't deliver is unacceptable. In this article, I'll outline the steps that you must take in order to become a professional wedding photographer and in the end, I'll recommend a very good DVD course for you to get started.
To become a wedding photographer, the first thing you must bear in mind is that it will probably be back breaking work. You'll need to put in time and energy to learn and perfect what you know. Now, the first thing (as you probably know) that you will need is quality equipment, your camera, lenses (70 mm, 200 mm etc.), tripod stand and all those stuff (you'll learn more in the DVD training).
Now the next thing after you've got all your equipment is to find a studio or photography club near you. Join the studio and become an apprentice. Note that in your first days, you will be asked to do scruffy jobs but it's all a part of learning. Now if you can't get your complete equipment (as some of them are very expensive) you can always rent from the photography club/studio, just make sure you take very good care of their equipment and return it in good condition. As you learn at the studio, as time goes on you will get familiar with the system and what it takes to be a wedding photographer and how to become a professional.
Another thing you will need to do in order to become a profssional wedding photographer is to get a professsional who you can be an apprentice to. You can then 'learn under the master', you could even follow him/her to weddings and honeymoons just to get a feel of the job. You may be doing this for fun or money but either way, you want to be good at it so you'll need to pay attention to what the guy does.
The last point I want to give you here is that you'll need to undergo a photography course. This is not compulsory but it's somewhat necessary especially if you want to really learn. A wedding photography course is composed of several tutorials, lessons, techniques, advise, etc. I'll recommend one that is in form of videos so that you're not just reading stuff from a handout, you'll actually see for yourself what you're learning and it's exactly like being in a classroom. The added advantage you will have is that you can rewind and rewatch the entire course so that you can learn at your own pace. I would like to recommend a particular course to you. I can't exactly say it's cheap but it's worth the cost and I'm a living witness of the effectiveness of this course. It's specifically prepared for wedding photography and you'll learn everything from where to stay in the halls/church during the ceremony to what kind of camera is right for what kind of shot. You'll be surprised how many details matter until you go through this course.
The course is in a series of DVD video tutorials and written ones too. It's filled with tutorials teaching you how to handle almost every situation you will ever face as a wedding photographer. Why I really like this course is that you have all sorts of charts and maps to show you where to stay and when and which shots are necessary, I could go on. Just give the course a try and they have a money back guarantee but I very much doubt that you'll be using it.
