Wedding Storyteller, Volume 1 – Elevating the Approach to Photographing Wedding Stories
Photographer and instructor Roberto Valenzuela provides what so many of his followers have been requesting: a book devoted only to assisting photographers in honing their wedding photography in Wedding Storyteller, Volume 1: Elevating the Approach to Photographing Wedding Stories. Being a wedding photographer himself, Roberto started his company from the bottom up using excellent photos that beautifully and compellingly capture his clients’ most significant day.
This isn’t your typical book on wedding photography. Wedding Storyteller is not a compilation of “looks,” which cannot teach you anything or inspire you. There won’t be a wedding shot list either, at least not in the conventional sense. Rather of focusing on the surface, this first volume of the three-part Wedding Storyteller series delves deeper into the most key subjects, themes, and issues you need to learn about if you want to significantly improve your wedding photography. Above all, Roberto emphasizes the importance of storytelling in producing captivating, significant, and one-of-a-kind images for your customers.
Roberto has developed a novel strategy in this book that anybody can learn to use. There are four parts to Roberto’s “wedding storyteller skill components” system:
Components of the Foundation: Location Strategies. Discover how to overcome the obstacles you face as a wedding photographer. Roberto shows you how to use compositional elements like frames and reflections, as well as light, context, clutter, walls, and depth.
Foundational Elements: People Skills. Weddings are frequently high-stress, high-energy events; as a photographer, your success is greatly influenced by your demeanor and attitude. In addition to teaching his own style of “situational posing” and group posing, Roberto talks about the essential people skills you need possess.
Components of the Storyteller Approach. Roberto talks about the five methods he employs while crafting a “wedding story” for his customers. These five strategies include story building, styled aware posing, stylistic unaware posing, interactive photojournalism, and photojournalism.
Components with expertise. As Roberto discusses subjects like Emotionally Valuable People (EVP), lens selections, helper light, posing patterns (and when to break them), capturing “peak action,” attaining a distinctive perspective, and crafting multi-layered narratives within a single photograph, the final section builds and extends on everything discussed in the preceding sections.
Every wedding photo has the chance to capture a unique moment and add to the detailed, visual narrative of your clients’ most significant day. You are the story’s director and documentarian in your capacity as the photographer. With Wedding Storyteller, Volume 1, you’ve finally got a book that will teach you the techniques you need to produce stunning photographs and tell stories that are full of significance, beauty, and passion.
