The slants a bit much for me too I feel. Also perhaps you would like to include more "relationship" shots. I feel in a malay wedding the greetings are often very heart felt, very warm maybe you would like to capture or show us some of those shots. The hand getures to touching the heart. Maybe you would also like to show us some pics of the dowary exchange, the brides assitant protecting the bride, the rich malay traditions besides the silat performance. 1 cetns worth
This was taken 3 months back. Different couple. Need feedback on this photo taken during the wedding. It looks messy and yet has its beauty.

the latest photo is much better in terms of "feel"...
agreed with everyone else about the slant too. too much becomes bad
personally, i think out of 10 photos, 2 tilted are fine.
if 5 out of 10 shots are tilted. Can look horrible in an album.
hope to see more shots next time

Thanks for the comment on feel.
I can understand what u mean abt the slanted photos. Saw some photographers shot all slanted from 1st to last page. Hold the album like holding a car steering wheel. Actually, majority of the photos are straight in the album. Only 5% to 10% are slanted.
try to make ur angles more dynamic, goin lower, goin higher etc.etc.
but most importantly, getting the 'feel' is most crucial as compared to the very surface details.
cheers!
Cheese,
Can I check this is what u mean by angle lower. Same wedding as last posted. Sorry still slant lah.

Not difficult as long the bridal boutiques like your photos. The bridal boutiques that engaged me had renegaded so many photographers liao.
Thank you.
From #1~#23, you have too much tilted pictures, some will work, too much of it like added too much salt in your dishes.
for compositions, you shot it too centralize and you need to get closer too, but notice you have shot all horizontal, maybe it is easier to arrange them into album.
Basically all shots are fine, able to deliver, but to refine it, you need more time to work on it, eg, the #1, maybe show the whole flower plus the vase will be better, the #2, show the bride without the hair clips will be better, #3, just do a very tide crop of three heads will be better... etc.
Hope these help.

The tilt works very well here. Softening overdone on #26 I feel. I usually don't like softening too much. I think you're not doing the softening effect correctly on CS2. You can get a pro to show you how. Find yourself a niche in the PP also. Many photos can be better PP with layers. Meanwhile, continue to experiment with the angles and composition. Maybe soon, I can use the word 'great' on your photos.
I've not really followed your threads in this area. Busy day today. Are you the main photographer?
For the softening shot, I gave the sharp one and the soft ones to the customer, both they like. A matter of preference as there are different softening methods. The real photos looks much better than on screen for this shot.
I am the main photographer.
Thanks for the comments on the tilt. Appreciate it.
Arma, any comments abt the window shots in the other thread.

Maybe you want to keep the photos as original as possible. For me I'll do some more PP. Even on the reflection on the floor if it distracts me too much from the bride. I like the photo here. Like it because of the window and mirror. Whether full body shot or half body landscape, it'll still look good. But the slight tilt is unnecessary.
The other photo has too much of a tilt. That's why I ask if you're the primary photographer. If not, then its ok to shoot at other angles. Since you are, then its too much tilting and some people (non-photographers in particular) cannot appreciate tilts.
Time to get a wider angle zoom lens also?

Thanks for the prompt reply,
For the bedroom shots, I have to tilt the shots basically the place is very small due to the furniture in the room. I would love to take a full shot making use of the whatever space is available, unfortunately not possible at that time. So tilt to cover as much as possible or else the bed will get in the way.
As for your comments on tilt, I always play the safe side, Majority is straight with 5% to 10%tilted. For poses, shot both just in case due to customers' preference.

That's why I suggested wider angle lens for wedding. Are you using Canon or Nikon? Which lens may I ask for wide angle? Just curious.
You can also try a photo montage for wedding photos. It'll turn out great.
Hee Hee. Did u realise that the photos have 2 WB? Somebody PM me abt it. I was using 2 cams at that time. These are my configurations
1. Canon D70s with Sigma 18mm - 50mm 2.8
2. Canon 30D with F4L 17m - 40mm and 70 to 200 F4L and 50mm 1.8
The Canon is warmer and u will realise which one. So for pre-wedding ceremony, Canon was used most of the time. Nikon was throughout the ceremony. Poses back to Canon. Technical difference is not noticeable. I have a gd developer.
Will upload one montage of the ones posted for comments. For the above photos I posted, they are actually for the montage. When on montage, they look quite different.
