All hail Derek Pye…world’s best wedding photographer.
Written by David WhiteIf you don’t know Derek’s EPIC wedding photography, you need to check it out.
The man is quite simply a genius, and boy is he expensive.
One of his top tips:
“The Ten Second Rule – Obey this and you’ll save thousands of hours in post production. It’s a trick dating back to the days of film. When you are out shooting a wedding it’s tempting to snap away. After all you’re shooting digital so it’s not costing you anything. Wrong! The more you shoot the more hours you have to waste sat at a computer looking at the bloody things. Here’s the trick. Every time you are about to take a photo, count to ten. Think. Is this really any good?. Is this a great photo? 99.99999 times out of a hundred it won’t be so don’t take it. You’ve probably missed the moment now anyway. I used this rule at a wedding recently and returned home only having shot 9 photos, and two of those were when the camera went off accidentally as I was lighting a fag. This saved hours in post-production. Less is more and it’s also less work. The Ten Second Rule also allows time for the bridesmaids to tuck their tits in.”
