Photographic Style: Introduction

An upcoming series to communicate more effectively and learn more about us.

If you read bridal magazines then you have probably run across an article or ten describing how to find the right photographer to capture your day. And chances are that you have probably heard the term “photographic style” thrown around.  It’s very helpful to be able to convey your tastes when talking to a photographer. Being on the same page with you the person you trust to take your photos can ensure that you will be happy with your photos.

A lot of times, ambiguous terms are thrown around describing a style of photography. Things like “photojournalistic” and “traditional” are two of the most common. But these terms could mean different things to different people. So we’re going to lay out what we think of for certain approaches to photography in order for us to be on the same page.

This series will be a chance to take a deeper look into what we do as photographers.  We’re pretty versatile when it comes to different styles, and in the coming posts we will illustrate our style as best we can.  In this series, we’ll talk about how we perceive photojournalistic and editorial style, different processing styles, and some other creative and technical way we do things.

The hope is that this series will be a great benefit to you.  Our goal is to show you an assortment of things we do, and that you will be able to say, “Oh, I like that,” or “This would be great if you could take this part here…” or even, “I don’t like this.” That way, you know what you like, and so do we.

We feel this series will be a great communication tool – with us or any photographer. But hopefully us.
