John Leech – It’s Like the Camera Isn’t There: Finding the Real Emotion at Weddings | Episode #302

But I was just curious what habits from your landscape work will kind of make a play in your wedding shoots on wedding day how does landscape photography kind of go into the whole process

Yeah, I mean, you mentioned transferable skills, though, which is key to all of it, really.

But I think it's the ingrained feeling that most images come down to the quality of the background.

I often think of photography and landscape photography and wedding photography as an art of compromise, where nothing is where you would actually put it if you were given absolute free reign to lay it out.

and isn't where you want it to be and you know nothing is perfection but you've got to photograph it in such a way that none of the compromises are evident and so it's a compromise you know you're working with what you're given and With a wedding, you can change bits and bobs, but there's a limit to what you can change.

Are you someone who plans out the wedding day pretty thoroughly in terms of a shot list? Or do you like to go in not blind per se, but open to whatever happens during the day?
