Wedding Information

Photographycs ensures the memory of your event remains intact by capturing both candid and posed moments of your day. From the tiniest details right up to the momentous occurrences, Photographycs is there to ensure that your memories last forever.

Principal Photographer – Chelsea Sipthorp

Chelsea has a contemporary style and a special talent for capturing those emotionally charged, candid moments you never want to forget. She immediately makes you feel at ease to ensure even the posed-photos are as naturals possible. You know, the ones that nan will what for her collection!

Through her lens she captures the tiniest of details right up to the awe-inspiring moments of the day. The end result is a beautiful storybook reiterated solely in picture-form.

Second Photographer Available

Photographycs uses only qualified and skilled photographers for all of their photographic assignments. These uniquely selected professionals are at hand for couples that require a 2nd shooter.

Second photographers are responsible for assisting the Principal Photographer. This ensures the shoot to run smoothly and on-time. They also help with special lighting effects, the styling and organisation of the family group photography session and location shoots with the bridal party.

When you have two photographers, you will have double the shots. The same scene can be viewed from various angles. While one photographer also can be responsible for the up-close details of the day, the other can use a wide angle which encapsulates the entire scene. This type of variety looks incredible in an album. And is a great way of sharing the moment with those who were unable to addend the big day.

Second shooters are essential if you require photography of all pre-ceremony preparations of both the bride and groom at separate locations.

Selecting the Right Photographer for you

You will be spending one of the most memorable days of your lives with your wedding photographer. So, take into account the personality of whom you choose.

Photographycs photographers are trained to try and blend in and be as unobtrusive as possible. We shoot in small bursts throughout the day, meaning we shoot for a bit and then give you a break so it’s not too much like a paparazzi invasion.

All photographers will have their own unique style. Photos that one photographer may create will vastly differ to another photographer. I strongly encourage you to compare the work of a number of photographers to ensure you find the right photographer for your wedding day.

Exposure Exposed!

admin — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 03:03:46 +0000

Floggin’ my Bloggin’

I promise to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth here as simply and I can. And I’m a pretty simple gal. So, that’s gonna be pretty easy.

It may sound surprising, considering all the punchy colours we see in modern prints, but did you know the camera looks at everything and tries to make it a dull old grey?!? Well kinda!

Let me explain myself properly…

If your exposure metre is pointing at ’0′ and you:

1. Take a photo of a bright white cloud on an overcast day. The camera does not return the same bright white image, instead it looks grey.

2. Take a photo of say a black tv screen (not while it’s on, and not reflecting light!). Again your camera will return an image that looks grey.

The same is true for colour images. That one eyed camera lens looks at the tonal value of all the colours in your image and in very basic terms averages them all out to grey. It sees in black and white (…just like a bull – ewhhh does that take anyone else back to year 10 science class with a bulls eye, scalpel and cutting board – sorry to diverge.)

Darker colours like red, purple, navy will be read as dark tones. So the camera tries to lighten then up. (Ever tried to get of portrait of a fair skinned person wearing these colours up top – very enlightening!)

And lighter colours like white, pastels, yellow will be read as light tones. So the camera makes them darker than they appear.

Anything with lots of white/light tones will look underexposed.
Anything with lots of black/dark tones will look overexposed.

Because the camera is programmed to balancing it out to read grey.

If you have a good mix of both light and dark colours in you images, no worries, you’ll be right mate.

But if you are taking a picture with a bunch of tones that sit more up one end of the dark/light spectrum you’ll need to jiggy with the -/+ exposure button to compensate for this.

If you photographing things are at the lighter end of the spectrum you’ll need to deliberately over expose to get the correct reading (+)

If you photographing things at at the darker end of the spectrum you’ll need to deliberately under expose to get the correct reading (-)

In closing:

If it’s lighter make it even whiter!

If it’s darker, ummmmm, I can’t think of anything that rhymes, which is why I don’t rap, and am instead a photographer!
