Greetings, friends! This article will talk about photographing holidays and celebrations. In this extensive topic, I will try to reveal the features and secrets of photographing the various holidays that fill our lives, starting with children's matinees and ending with banquets and receptions in real life. top level. So let's get started!

What to shoot, and how to make holiday photos expressive and memorable?

The photographer at the festival is a kind of chronicler. With the help of his photographs, he can convey the atmosphere of the event and the emotions of the participants, tell the chronology of events and place emphasis on the most significant of them.

With any shoot, it's important to understand what you're shooting and who you're shooting for.

In the case of holiday photography, this point is especially important, because... If you are a guest at a family feast, you can allow yourself to catch funny moments with your friends, because you take photos for them. If you are a hired photographer at a gala dinner or banquet, then your task is to talk about the event as intelligently as possible, presenting all participants in the best light, because your photographs can later be used in the media and others information resources. Therefore, when preparing for shooting, get comprehensive information about the event and who to contact special attention what can and cannot be removed.

With the help of photographs, you can give the holiday the necessary mood.

If the shooting is based on sad, thoughtful faces and unemotional subjects, the holiday will seem boring. And vice versa, catching bright emotions, smiles, this festive mood will be passed on to whoever looks at your photos later. Since the very concept of a holiday radiates joy and fun, then in your report you should strive to emphasize these emotions as much as possible.

How can this be achieved?

1) Smile and share a common festive mood with your guests. Be relaxed, sociable and friendly. People will avoid a gloomy photographer.

2) Always remember and keep in mind that you are filming a holiday, and your main task is to capture and convey the festive mood. Select radiant, positive people from the crowd and pay special attention to them, but don’t forget about the rest; ideally, every guest should be included in your lens.

3) When taking staged shots, try to make people laugh. You can often hear from guests “I don’t look good in photographs” or something like that, what should you do in this case? Most people have their own “duty” facial expression for a photo, depicting which they look like in a passport photo, but few people like their passport photo. Natural, lively photographs can be obtained if you bring them out of this state, for example, by making them laugh or giving a compliment.

A clear division into plans will help make your photo report more expressive.

General plan– to convey the holiday atmosphere and individual scenes.

Medium shot– for emotional scenes involving several people.

Close-up– to convey the emotions of one person.

By filming one scene, for example a congratulation, in different shots, you will convey its atmosphere as accurately as possible. Moreover, the emphasis should be placed precisely on close-ups. General and medium plans will tell the viewer about what is happening and where, and the large one will show what everything is happening for - people’s emotions. This distinguishes amateur photography from professional photography. Amateurs very often shoot everything in one shot, film the story for the sake of the story itself, without placing emphasis.

So, we figured out what and how to shoot, now let’s talk about what you can’t shoot if you don’t want to spoil the impression of the shoot. A shoot is always judged by its worst shots. Even if you have truly brilliant photographs in your report, it is the least successful photographs that will be most remembered. What is a bad photograph or a bad shot? First of all, these are pictures with technical errors - overexposure/underexposure, blurry images. Compositional errors also spoil photographs - “cropped” faces from the edges of the frame, “cropped” arms and legs. Such photographs should be safely rejected, or, if possible, corrected. It is better to leave only those photos of which you are sure of the quality; the rule “less is more” works well here.

Now let's talk about stories that should not be filmed. There is an opinion that the task of reportage photography is to film every moment of the event in order to tell the fullest story about what happened, but we also remember that our task is to good photographer– film the event as intelligently as possible, presenting all its participants in the best light. It is precisely this goal that is best adhered to even at friendly parties. That's why Remove with caution:

1) People for food. People who chew very rarely come out well in photographs. If you still need to photograph a person at this particular moment, establish eye contact with him, show your intention to photograph him, and wait until he is ready.

2) Fairly drunk people. It's no secret that towards the end of the holidays, “too cheerful” guests appear. Such people need to be photographed with caution, and done so in such a way that their condition is not obvious in the photograph.

3) Slow dancing and kisses You also need to photograph with caution, and in such a way that the characters in the frame see and know that they are about to be photographed. Such photographs may be compromising for someone.

Preparation for shooting, necessary equipment, appearance.

When preparing to shoot, you need to know general information about the place, time and duration of the shooting, the number of guests, additional wishes of the customer (for a commercial order), based on this, ensure the required number of batteries and memory cards. Check and charge the equipment. Take chargers with you to the shoot. You must ensure that your equipment is running smoothly and be prepared for the unexpected. In this case, it is better to be on the safe side than to miss an important moment due to dead batteries.

For high-quality shooting of most festive events you will need: a camera (preferably full frame), a universal fast lens (for example, nikkor 24-70 f/2.8), a fast zoom (for example, nikkor 80-200 f/2.8) and a flash. Full frame and high-aperture optics are needed because most holiday events take place in rooms with poor lighting, and “dark” optics significantly limit the photographer’s capabilities.

One thing worth saying about appearance is that a photographer should always look neat and not stand out. If with appearance everything is clear, then invisibility is needed so that the guests are not distracted by the photographer, and as a result, they appear as natural as possible in the photographs. Dark, plain clothes are suitable for these purposes.

The filming process, working with guests, working with lighting, moving around the hall or site.

The filming process must begin with thinking through the shooting plan, that is, those moments and scenes that must be shown in the final photo report. An event scenario plan can help with this.

You need to visually find and remember the heroes of the celebration, and people to whom you need to pay special attention.

At the beginning of the shooting, you need to move a lot and actively, so the guests will see that a photographer is working at the event, and in the future they will not be distracted, which will allow them to take the most vivid and emotional pictures, and they will also ask themselves to take a photo.

Then, as already written above, you need to get into the atmosphere of the holiday, relax and shoot what is happening in joyful colors, keeping in mind what kind of photographs you should end up with.

It is important to capture all the significant moments of the holiday; for this you need to communicate with the organizers, and know what will happen and when, and accordingly be ready to film everything. It is also necessary to know the most advantageous places for shooting and think through angles. This analytical work It’s best to do this at the very beginning of the event, when getting to know the venue.

When working with guests, a smile and goodwill are important. It is necessary that you also enjoy the process.

As a rule, at special events there is a variety of color equipment that illuminates the space in a completely unpredictable way. That is why the photographer’s arsenal should include external flash. It is also important to have the skills to handle it. It is always better to diffuse the flash light by pointing it at the ceiling or walls using special diffusers. A flash pointed directly at the subject will cast a strong shadow and make the image look flat.

The work of a photographer on a shoot is always a kind of dance– constantly moving around the site, searching for the right angles and scenes. And of course, this dance should be as smooth and unnoticeable as possible for the guests. An object with large bags and a camera gun running around and touching everything in its path will cause discomfort to guests. Therefore, the task of a good photographer is to be everywhere and at the same time be invisible.

Completion of shooting, the moment when you need to finish filming on time.

It is better to structure the shooting process in such a way that most shots, especially portraits, are taken in the middle of shooting. It is important to catch this time when the guests are already passionate about the process, relaxed, and look good, but not yet “too cheerful” (if we talk about the feast and banquet). Thus, having shot as much as possible in the middle of the event, the final part of it can be devoted to improving the footage captured and filming important points, which according to the script should be in the finale. If a banquet or feast takes the form of a drinking session, you need to end the filming by agreeing on this point with the organizers. It is important to remember that your task is an intelligent report (unless otherwise stated), and you will be very grateful if in your photographs you can turn a feast into a cultural banquet, and not very grateful if it turns out the opposite.
