Book Reviews
Annabel is one of the best known portrait photographers who was one of the first to create the soft "anyone can be beautiful" portrait styles. This book illustrates a wide range of techniques Annabel uses in her commerical business. The good thing is the people are real so it's not full of models to illustrate techniques, these are actual clients. The book has plenty of sketches showing lighting set ups and lots of advice from getting the job to providing the proofs and, in true Rotovision style...

Wedding photography Lighting? Colourcasts?
James As someone who I understood did portrait photography I am surprised you only lit the group with one light (Unless I misread the previous posts) Due to inclement weather I have had to photograph groups many times indoors (Particular winter weddings in Scotland) and a simple set up of two portable stands and basic flash guns and shooting through small white brollies works fine with th...
Forum: Lighting
Well done in admitting your mistakes, I know many pros (myself included to a degree) who won't! Why make it your last wedding assignment though? You sound like you've made a good start, identified where you can improve and the no so good points you have highlighted form the basis of a good action plan to move forward. You just need to work through them now, addressing each one in turn.

Wedding Photography Tips
Hi What i did when i took the photo's for my stepdaughter's wedding the other month.

Plus everyone gets to see all the photo's. Well it sounds like you had a good ti...

Which lens for wedding photography
Nic, Thanks for your reply, you may be interested to know that I don't favour IS lenses for wedding work because I don't want the risk of having the function switched on and me merrily taking pictures before the lens settles down - about a second I believe. For my personal photography at a more leisurely pace I am happy with the IS function. Regards, Peter. P.S. Nice website :-) It ...
