This famous quote of Robert Capa is truly a great advice emphasized by our beloved photographer David Bergman. In this episode with Adorama TV we will explore why it is important to shoot details!
According David – “Most wedding photographers already notice but capturing details is an important part of any story. Of course you need to have the wide shots of the ceremony, and the medium shots of the bride and groom kissing, but don”t forget to zoom in tight and shoot the rings, and the flowers, and the shoes! “
Mr. Bergman continues – “You should take this same thought process to any shoot. When you’re on vacation for example, don’t just stand in the street and take a shot of the scene. Look for those little details to tell the story of your trip. “
“Maybe there’s interesting architecture. Make sure you show it. Keep your eyes open for anything that is unique to where you are that really sets the scene. When shooting these things, you can use a dedicated macro lens to get in really, really, close. “
“But most of us don’t carry one of those around on vacation, so you can either zoom your lens in to separate your subject from a potentially distracting background, or you can stay wide and just get in closer by zooming with your feet. “
” Just make sure it’s obvious what you want the viewer to be looking at. At the end of the day you want your images to tell a complete story. Oftentimes it’s the details that make something memorable. “
