4 Secrets for Picture Perfect Wedding Mobile Photography

Weddings are a joyous occasion that most people want to preserve for later reflection. For this reason, couples typically recruit professional photographers for their Big Day. However, mobile photography can be just as essential for documenting a wedding. Whether you were asked to take mobile photos for a wedding or you simply want to be prepared for the next one you attend, here are some wedding mobile photography tips to keep in mind.

It's Best to Scout the Location Beforehand

When it comes to mobile photography and big events, it's worth examining the location beforehand. For example, visit the venue where the reception will be held after the exchange of vows. Doing so can give you an idea of what type of lighting you have to work with, as well as any other obstacles that may impact your mobile photography (e.g., tight spaces, windows, mirrors).

In the end, you'll have a better idea of how to shoot once the wedding occurs. For extra inspiration, do your homework beforehand! In addition to looking up professional wedding photographer's portfolios online, you can find more ideas on websites, such as The Knot and Pinterest, ahead of the Big Day.

Learn from The Happy Couple

If possible, speak to the engaged couple beforehand. This is especially necessary if you're going to be responsible for providing mobile photography to the couple after the event. The individuals directly involved with the wedding can give you the fine details of the Big Day's agenda.

Even knowing what time of day you'll be working with can give you an advantage as a photographer. (Think natural lighting.) The couple can also let you know how they want mobile photographs to be taken throughout the wedding. For instance, they may want more candid shots of children, or mobile photos of the wedding party in a specific location.

Perfection Is Not Always Necessary

Sharp imagery of certain subjects may be necessary in some situations. For instance, you'll want to capture the fine details of autumn foliage when you have an opportunity to snap a photo in the woods. However, soft, blurred mobile photos can create a more romantic, natural look. These types of pictures can translate into unique wedding mobile photography. As you snap your mobile photos, try not to concern yourself achieving perfection in the form of sharpness or form. Some of your best mobile photos may end up being those taken in soft, warm lighting or when your subjects are in motion.

Pack Your Gear Ahead of Time

Whether you use an iPhone camera lens or a tripod during your mobile photography sessions, pack it all before the wedding. This will ensure that you're never without your favorite accessories once the Big Day arrives. Knowing the wedding agenda and venue beforehand can help you prepare. However, there are many situations you can't prep for – think weather, natural lighting, and spur-of-the-moment requests from the bride or groom. By having your gear on hand, you can make sure you never have to turn down a request.

Wedding photographers are always in demand, and mobile phones have made it easier for them to get the job done with little equipment. By keeping these tips in mind, you can provide beautiful wedding mobile photography to the happy couple after the Big Day.

Adobe's Research Team Demos Tech That Could Transform Selfie Photography

This feature is quite interesting as it allows you to copy the style from a sample photograph over to your newly taken image. Unfortunately, there's not a lot you can do with the image once you take it. Adobe and their Sensei artificial intelligence department have released a trailer for a new selfie Photoshop style app they have in development as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud.

The company has teased a video that shows a person taking a selfie and using an app to tweak the picture so that it looks neat and clean. It's now being used on the company's Creative Cloud tools and is also being used for the company's Marketing and Document Cloud services. The demo shows the man searching for images on Google. For starters you cannot only make your selfie appear as if it has been taken from a distance but also change the depth of field by focusing out the objects in the background.

Another cool feature: Adobe's technology will help you replicate the style of another portrait photo.

Today, "great portrait photography requires the right perspective, equipment, and editing expertise", Adobe wrote in the video's description. Finally, the demo video showed how users can search for a photo that you want to mimic for your own selfie portrait in the app, and then automatically apply the filters and other effects from that old photo on your image.

Forget about Photoshopping. People now edit their selfies using computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. This is the first time that Adobe demoed its capabilities on a smartphone, as pointed out by TechCrunch. What's for sure is that Adobe is proving that AI and machine learning has a place in the realm of mobile photography.

Adobe is developing new artificial intelligence-powered tools that may be able to turn your crappy selfies into flattering shots.

How to Promote Photography on Instagram

George Finlayson George Finlayson is an educator and professional writer with a BA in Creative Writing. He was born in London, England but currently resides in Shanghai, China. He has recently developed a great interest in photography and has begun a new venture into writing about photography and videography for beginners, and related topics. With so many technical details in digital photography, George likes to keep things simple so that everyone can understand and feel a part of the ever-growing global photography community. Latest posts by George Finlayson (see all)

Photography lets you keep precious moments, incredible experiences, and wonderful sights frozen within the four corners of a picture. It feels good to capture these things with your camera, but it's also fulfilling to be able to share them with others.

Thanks to social media sites, you can now reach millions of people around the world by hitting a button on your mobile device. You can show them things you've seen and you can enable them to share the experience through interaction. It's a constantly evolving platform with a massive user base, so it makes sense that big businesses are getting in on the idea too. Getting images online not only shows friends what you've been up to; it can also help you find clients or people who may be interested in buying your pictures.

One of the best online social platforms to share your work is Instagram. Although Facebook bought Instagram in 2012, the two platforms still exist separately and are vastly different. Instagram remains an image-driven app that puts photography first, though certain functionalities have been added to make sharing on Facebook easier.

It's now possible to connect an Instagram account to the Facebook page where you're an admin. This is really useful especially if you already have an established Facebook page. You can invite your Facebook fans to follow you on Instagram as well. However, make sure that there is variation between your Facebook posts and Instagram posts. Otherwise, what would be the point of following you on both platforms if you're just sharing exactly the same content? Shake it up with something different and try to make a social branding experience that extends beyond copy-and-paste.

Uploading photos on Instagram

Instagram is now a bit more flexible; you no longer have to worry about cropping your photo to fit a square format. The social network has increased the resolution of uploaded images to 1080px x 1080px in order to keep up with Retina displays and high resolution mobile panels. The app lets you keep the original resolution of your image as long as its width is between 320px and 1080px. If the image is smaller, it will be enlarged to a width of 320px.

If it's larger, it will be reduced to a width of 1080px. Additionally, the aspect ratio should be between 1:91:1 and 4:5. If your photo's aspect ratio isn't supported, the photo will be cropped to fit a supported ratio. If you're desperate to upload a landscape shot, be prepared for borders around your image.

Think about your content

Instagram is a platform that has progressed far beyond photography. If you want to get noticed, there are now numerous ways to do so. None of these will happen overnight and require a constant, committed social strategy. Since we're talking about photography, we'll avoid the gym selfies and modelling pictures. Most photographers on Instagram get noticed specifically for the quality of their images. Consider learning Photoshop and Lightroom to perfect your photographs. Since Instagram now allows gallery uploads, it's possible to transfer images to your computer for post-processing.

Just like on Facebook, the best time to post photos on Instagram is up for debate. You can simply base your posting schedule on the normal routine of people — in the morning right after they wake up or evening before they go to bed. Of course, you can still upload photos in between these time periods as users tend to check their Instagram timeline from time to time. Since Instagram is a worldwide application, you won't be able to time uploads for every time zone. A decision must me made on which market to target specifically and base your content around them specifically.

Don't forget to include hashtags (#) on your posts, too. If your photos are properly tagged, users will easily find your pictures once they search for a related image. However, you don't want to use hashtags that have been used for over 500,000 posts. You'll be competing with that large amount of photos, so the chances of your image staying on top of the postings will definitely be lower. Try using specific keywords as hashtags to narrow down the competition. Much like content SEO, competing for big hashtags is a no-no until you have a large enough fan-base to warrant it. Catch the smaller groups with targeted keywords… and be creative! When you type in a hashtag, it's possible to see how many other posts contain it, so use that information to your advantage for a proper keyword strategy.

If you think that Instagram is not for you, you might want to try other online platforms like Facebook and 500px. These sites are equally great tools for promoting your digital photography.
