A photographers will not be separated from the activity of photographing important events. Whether it’s a wedding, birthday, inauguration, or event-event others that must be documented. Sometimes, because it is so big and important and complicated an event, two or more photographers are deployed at once. They document an activity simultaneously. The goal is to get nothing but documentation angleit’s complete.
But, don’t think that taking pictures using two cameras will get the desired results you know. If these two photographers can’t collaborate well, then the combined shots of the two will certainly be much the same. The photos obtained in the end become less varied. Dear…
Well, in the rubric Photography Clinic This, I will sharing how best to photograph an event or event by using two cameras simultaneously. Some of them are as follows:
Plan Carefully
This planning includes mastery of the location, duration of shooting, to equipment readiness. Before taking pictures, you should first identify the location of the surrounding environment for visual needs. By recognizing your surroundings, it will be easier and more flexible for you to be creative in executing images.
In addition to the introduction of the surrounding environment, the duration of the shoot must be considered. The duration of course depends on the schedule of events. The longer the duration, the more time, energy, memory, and battery the camera will need. Therefore, prepare other equipment to support shooting.
Arrange Deal
Before doing a photo shoot, you should first arrange an agreement between fellow photographers. One photographer is in charge of taking pictures wide (wide). The other is photographing in detail by zooming. Of course this task is flexible. You don’t have to be crazy! At least, there are responsibilities according to the agreement of each.
Set Position
Not just recruitment angle Photo. The position of the photographer also determines the shots. Try to shoot the two points are not in the same position or parallel. It can be front-back, right-left side, or top-down. Even if you have to be at one point, try to be different angle taking. One shoots the width/whole, while the other shoots detailed objects.
Pola Stuck and Mobile
Stuck what is meant in this case is more silence at one point. Whereas mobile means to move nimbly in capturing image objects. Pattern stuck generally for cameras that use lenses zoom (tele). While that mobile can use camera with lens wide or standard. Apart from photography, patterns stuck-mobile This is widely used by videographers when capturing the moment of an activity in video recordings.
Communication
Even though the agreement has been carried out according to plan, the photos produced will not always go according to plan. Interact with your partner photographer often. Make the best of communication. If there is an opportunity, you should control each other’s shots. Approximately what is lacking and should be improved in the next shooting session.
These are some of the strategies that you should pay attention to when shooting using two cameras/photographers which are carried out together in one event. Remember yes, prepare carefully, collaborate, and communicate intensely while shooting. Hope it is useful. Hello photography…
