Tuscan Wedding and Rules of Good Photography

Jun 20, 2007 17:27

So, it's official: I'm not able to take photos of people.

I can't. I try but I'm so not able.... Sorry.

My dear friends C. and F. asked me to take some photos of their wedding, and I did it, really, but I can't say I'm very pleased with the results.

My shots are always.... something a little casual. Clearly I can't concentrate at the same time about the lights, the facial expressions, and also about not cutting feet, noses..... and things alike.
Besides, when I'm wearing a silk dress and four inches heels shoes, I'm not at all feeling like a photographer.

But after the wedding..... when I came back to the farm holidays.... I put on my jeans, went walking through the olive grove and..... OMG, I felt really inspired.
It was almost the sunset, the light was wonderful, the trees were wonderful with their twisted trunks and their green-silver leaves, and so I went with the kind of photos I most love.
They go against the Rules of good photography.
I wave, twist and move my camera, I search the abstract and something like an impressionist painting.
Don't know for sure if the outcome is really worthy, but I'm quite content with it.

Hell, I'm really content with it, and I want to share. Feel free to comment ^_^
