2. Obviously, we have some bias here; we are going to explain to
you what we look for in an image. You may be looking for
something else. But, the following ideas are what make
images of people interesting. When shooting people, we follow
a few simple rules. 1.) We shoot with a wide-open aperture
allowing for shallow depth of field. What this means is that the
resulting image draws the viewers attention to the emotion
and expression of the subject rather than to the background
details. 2.) We shoot in natural light as often as I can (try to get
all your group images in natural light) Natural light has a
beauty that cannot be equaled with artificial light.
3. How is an image composed? Let's start with the rule of thirds.
It is an interesting rule and one that dictates most great
images (although there are times to break the rule). It is a
simple rule: Divide an image into three parts and keep your
subject out of the middle area. If the image is shot well, your
eye will go to the same place every time you look at an
image. An image should have a strong focal point to which
your eye flows.
4. If you look at a magazine such as National Geographic you
will see the rule of thirds in almost every image. So, when
you are looking at wedding images, this is a good place to
start. Do most of the images follow the rules of third
