Use Green Screen To Triple Your Profits Taking Wedding Photos
You see, when two people give and start a life together as a married couple, it is going to be one of the most remembered times in their life. So what can a photographer do to make this time even more special?
Think about this... To keep these memories fresh in the minds of the new couple they typically hire a wedding photographer. But not many wedding photographers will offer the advantages of green screen photography.
By utilizing these simple green screen systems where other photographers don't you dramatically increase your chances of receiving more business.
Here's the thing... By using green screen you can not only create amazing bonuses other photographers don't offer you can add tens of thousands of dollars to your wedding photography business.
Sadly, this green screen service has not always been around. Well not until recently. Even today the greater numbers of wedding photographers either don't know about green screen photography or simply don't understand it enough to utilize it.
The good news is that to create the kind of photos that was more often than not only available to the extremely rich is now available to anyone easily. The thing is no one is actually doing it.
Here's what typically happens as soon as the wedding service is over just before the newlyweds head to the reception... The Photographer will naturally have a place picked out to use as a backdrop for the photos.
Let's face it... As a photographer you would know the amount of times you've been completely restricted by the weather and back drops right? In the end this stopped you from offering the outstanding photography package you were hoping to.
On the other hand, if you want to offer exotic wedding portraits that no one else offers, you can very easily (and on a shoestring budget) accomplish this by utilizing green screen and chroma key software as part of your package.
Here's how it works...
You simply choose a destination where you can access the right lighting, or a place where you can set up your own lights. Now you light up the screen with two lights facing the centre.
You use a third light on the newly weds while you take their photos. It's important you take many pictures here.
Now when you get back to your studio you only need to add in the background the best way that works for the newlyweds.
Here's an Example...
Should the couple wish to show their never-ending love for each other by utilizing a backdrop that represents the essence of romance you could do the following... You could create scenery as a impressive as a waterfall, a sandy beach in Hawaii or the sun setting behind the mountains of a beautiful range. This is the kind of photography that can get the attention of a couple looking for a wedding photographer.
And, here's the kicker... By utilizing such locations as backdrops it will help the bride (plus all her friends she shows the wedding portraits to) feel a much stronger connection with the photos you create for them.
And you know what? Because this is the bride's special day most people believe it is always the bride who loves to show off their wedding photos. But here's the thing... as long as the wedding photos aren't too feminine, most men also love to show off wedding photos of their friends as well.
When you have taken plenty of photos of the newly married couple you will request the new husband to allow you to take a number of photos of just the bride.
Take photos of her from the front with her holding her bouquet. Also take profile photos of as they are very popular too.
Here's what to do next...
When you're back at your studio you can simply add things like a set of marble stairs which leads to the entrance of an old gothic church. This can be the background. You could use a courtyard of a castle which can really be an eye catcher.
Here's the secret... make sure you use good quality software to darken the bride a little and make it look as if she is in shadow. Now use a picture of the ocean that has a sky full of deep reds and purples. This will add drama to the photo and make it a talking point so the couple will always remember you for your special green screen photography you created.
