4.0 out of 5 stars A very good book on wedding photography, November 22, 2001

By	tc ho (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews

The best thing about this book is that technqiues are shown with some really good quality examples (some are award winning photos) in a more contemporary style and details like apperture, speed, lens, camera and film used, along with lighting and interaction with the subjects, are mentioned clearly.

I agree with the other review that the part on Hong Kong is truely out of date, and really, since the topic of the chapter is on weddings of different cultures, it is plain funny the chapter features no pictures about the Chinese Wedding Banquet: essentially one of the most important event in weddings here in Hong Kong. The shots taken at Repulse Bay Hong Kong is probably really older than 15years...seriously.

I can hardly agree with one of the writers about the benefits of using a 28mm-200mm zoom at weddings, or really, any time at all. But that's just a matter of taste: personally on my 35mm system I use prime lenses exclusively.

The other miss is the lack of mention of filters used. Some shots are clearly taken with say, a softar, but no detail is given. But in general the details sections I believe are good and helpful.

I quite like the way the book is structured: you learn from the pros on some of the very best examples. And seeing the way pros do, like using delta 3200, spicing up otherwise tame shots with photoshop, or using daylight film inside a church hand held with apperture fully open and no flash, encourages me to explore and experiment on my own.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best wedding photo books I have read, May 28, 2001

By	"hungm" (Willowdale, ON Canada) - See all my reviews

This is definely the best wedding photo book I have read...

It has lots of excellent, modern, and inspiring photos with short description of techniques and equipments used for each photo.

I rated this book only 4 stars because it still has rooms for improvment:

1, A small section on general techniques/equipments would be helpful for begineers and semi-pros

2, The style in a few photos in the cultural section (Hong Kong) are quite out-dated (I would believe if they were taken 15 years ago) and should be taken out. My experience (from looking at friends' wedding photos) is that the Taiwanese wedding photographers have mastered the business of wedding photography and their style and techniques may have surpassed those of North American and European wedding photographers... (As an example, they very often include an excellent cross-processed photo of the couple) I would love to know their technique... (Cathy, go to Taiwan, HongKong, or even Toronto/LA to check out the wedding businesses operated by Chinese/Taiwanese, I am sure you will be surprised).
