Traditional Wedding Photography VS Wedding Photojournalism

By Maicel Carroll


Professional photographers in Singapore capture wedding images based on their style and client requests. There are those who use planned and staged shots to make the event appear as how every traditional wedding should be. There are also those who capture spontaneous and minute-moment pictures to ensure that the event is documented the way it happened. The first type of wedding photographer uses traditional style, while the second one employs a more modern approach to photography.

Today, many wedding photographers in Singapore still find it necessary to use traditional wedding images in documenting weddings. Bridal couples also do not seem to mind having traditional wedding photos in their photo albums. But it's worth noting that these days there is an increase in demand for photographers who capture candid and minute-moment wedding images.

Weddings And Photojournalism

This style of capturing wedding pictures is called wedding photojournalism. This photography style is everything that traditional wedding photography is not. This style isn't about traditional portraiture or formal images of relatives and friends lined up in a row, standing rigidly while waiting for shutter release.

Although wedding photojournalists are known for their knack in capturing spontaneous images, in actual they also take pictures of still objects that are commonly captured by traditional wedding photographers. This include taking detailed images of the shoes, dresses, cakes and rings. But of course a photojournalist would present it from a candid perspective.

How Wedding Photojournalists Do Their Craft

By hiring this kind of wedding photographer Singapore bridal clients expect more candid but creative shots. A photojournalist rarely gives directions and usually disappears into the background to document the event that is happening before them without affecting it. This principle can also applied by photographers who deal with other kinds of wedding photography singapore residents and businesses may require.

For example, a portrait photographer may not necessarily depend on a frontal look or a high stool to please the clients. Some bridal couples would like to have portraits that show their natural characters. This can be achieved by choosing a romantic setting as the location for the photoshoot or a place which the clients consider significant to their relationship. It would be more exciting if the photo shoot has a specific theme.
