Su-Anne and Ettienne’s On The Rocks wedding
Shots by Clarien Luttig
It was awesome getting back in the saddle again, and great having Clarien accompany me for my first wedding AG (after Gabe – who is currently sleepily happily in his crib).
One of the great things about having Clarien with me on a shoot is that I can simply hand her one of my cameras (I tend to give her the long lens and let her play sniper – so she gets to do all the natural / unaware shots which she just rocks at) and know that she’s going to come back with great pics. So when Su-Anne’s hair and make-up artist went over time I could happily ask Clairen to go and shoot Ettienne and his bestman and brother, Johan.
I love her shots. And I really love the high key shot of Su-Anne at the bottom.
One of the students on the Get Smarter photography course that I put together recently asked me what my thoughts on high key images are – he asked specifically about post processing to create a high key effect – and while you can have more control over just how high key your image will be in post I tend to prefer the look and feel of a high key shot created in camera . . . I think because a lot of the high key effects that I’ve seen also add a glow and a bit of blur . . . call me old fashioned. But, never the less, I really like Clarien’s last shot.
