this is the photo I posted in my previous post of wedding of jo and desmond. This is corridor at the island shangri la. Usually, I ‘ll spend the time taking photos of the venue and decoration while my clients are having the formal shots around 7:00pm – 8:00 pm before the banquet.
this post is going to tell you the works involved in this photo. It took me a total of 10 min to shoot it and lots of processing works are required.
this is the photo that was shoot without lighting and post processing. very nice decoration, but it looks very flat and boring in terms of lighting in the photo.
Go ahead to see what works are involved to make it look more interesting
to make the photo look more dramatic, I did add some lighting to the flower poles. But how could I add lighting to all 10 flower poles at the same time??? No, I didn’t add light to them all at the same time, instead, I set the camera on tripod and have my assistant Canly to hold the “off camera flash” to illuminate different parts at different exposures. During the post processing works, I overlap all 21 photos , “extract” different parts of each photo and “combine” them into one photo. Some buring, dodging and sharpening are done in post processing.
Canly, thanks for your great help !!! Without your great works, I ‘ll never get so many great photos for my clients.
IF YOU LIKE THIS PHOTO, DON’T FORGET TO LEAVE COMMENT BELOW AND SAY HI TO CANLY. THANK YOU.
