It's a Family Affair
Traveling to San Francisco for my cousin’s wedding was an interesting experience. Vague, right? I say that because there’s was just so much to capture. From the cousins hanging out around the city to the wedding itself, every angle was different. Now that’s sort of a given, but each shooting style was sort of different. Personally it was a completely different shooting situation for me. Swapping lenses more frequently, and searching for different angles led to different styles emerging from my shooting. One thing is I started to do more often is stopping down the camera to get a deeper depth of field, but in doing so it forced me into trying different lighting techniques. In the City by the Bay, you need to experiment.
