The Wedding Photographer, a photo from West Midlands, England

Photographer's Note

I could not resist snapping this one at the wedding of our friends Sarah & David. No, he hasn't fallen over - simply after the unusual POV. The things you have to do to earn a crust!

Hello Roberto,

A superb shot, with symmetry, human interest, colors, definition — all the good elements of fine photography. It reminds me of the 1994 film, "Four Weddings and a Funeral." But, as you've explained, the photographer is creating an interesting perspective, and is not about to be hauled off to the funeral parlor.

Warm regards,
Bulent

Really funny situation. I like the photos of photographers. Sometimes, it's quite hard to catch a good picture.

Hi Roberto
Certainly an original POV, though I expect he does it at every wedding!! A lovely shot, full of action and humour.
Regards, Susanna

Hello Robert,
Great capture! It is nice to get those moments that are common, but also a bit ridculous at the same time! You snapped at just the right moment. We posed for a photo like this at my sister's wedding - the end result was not that appealing!! TFS. :-)

Hi Roberto,

A great moment you captured here not just for us on TE but also for the bride and groom who I'm sure will like to see this photo too!

Great composition but I think I would have cropped it to make it a square photo and thus chopped out the red signs from each corner.

Good detail and colours. Great moment. Well done!

this is such a interesting picture, I love to take pictures of photographers. Since we never get to be in front of a lens this is about our only opportunity, huh? I would like to see his picture as well. One question though, what is crust?

Mr Broglia, this is just funny, you made my night :))
Photographers usually fall in such situations while trying to get the correct POV. And how else could this poor man capture this "Merry Five" in a better ambiance???
A happy moment from a happy day! Thank you for sharing this special day with us.
Cheers,
Deniz

This is a cool shot. A good photographer who's not afraid to get into any position to get the right shot. Excellent eye to capture a photographer in action.

Eh! Eh! What a shot Roberto! It's really cool. I bet this is the best picture your friends will get from this very special day. It's a simple compo - the photographer's one is surely more unusual - but the moment completely justify it. Perfect!

Bonjour Roberto,

Hi Robert,

Nice! I can see why you were tempted to take this photograph. I am not sure it would have turned out very good though. (I must get over my incessant need to critique a picture, no matter what!)... I would have put the girl in the middle. This however, adds to the comedy of your picture I think. The photographer seems like quite a funny guy, and I am sure that they got some amusing pictures that day. I tried a workshop-hope you like it..
