Learn to Take Beautiful Photos
If you want to improve your digital photography skills, you may want to take a look at Digital Photography Success. This ebook package comes with step-by-step instructions on how to take pictures of beautiful landscapes, people, nature, fireworks, night scenes, etc. Learn how to shoot professional photos – just like those you see in glossy magazine covers.
I find the ISO setting in digital cameras very useful. The ISO setting of a essentially camera controls it’s sensitivity to light. If you’re taking a photo of a still object, like a flower, then always use a low ISO setting. It allows for a longer shutter speed and produces a cleaner image. If you’re shooting a moving object, like a baby playing with a toy, then a higher ISO setting of say 400 would be better. Do take note, however, that a higher ISO setting gives a faster shutter speed and requires less light. This will produce noiser photos.
I recommend this tip to all budding photographers – camera tripods are an essential tool in your photography arsenal. When will you need a tripod? Well, it’s useful if you’re taking shots under low-light conditions or trying to capture fast moving objects. I like to use a tripod when taking night shots city streets, for example. Always try to look for a tripod that’s convenient to carry around. For personal use, you don’t need a huge one – just a simple compact one that’s easy to pack.
Here’s the important question. How do you select the correct shutter speed when taking photos? Well, if you have a point-and-shoot camera, then it may not matter too much. Simply set the camera to automatic mode and snap the picture. The camera’s in-built auto exposure settings will take care of the shutter speed settings for you.
If, however, you like to play with manual settings and have a more advanced camera, then the choice of shutter speed clearly matters. What you need to remember is this – shutter speeds are very closely linked to movement.

Use a slow shutter speed (say 1/60 or lower) if you want to introduce some blur in the picture to display speed in the subject. Remember, however, that a slow shutter speed will mean you need to hold the camera totally still for a longer period of time. If you can’t do this, your image will usually turn out bad. To work around the problem, use a tripod or steady your arms somewhere before taking the shot. As a general rule, if the shutter speed is 1/30 or slower, I’ll definitely use my tripod to steady the camera.

Use a fast shutter speed (say 1/125 or higher) if you need to capture a fast moving subject. Good examples include a passing car or a bird in flight. Now, one problem with fast shutter speeds is that you can totally miss the shot because the shutter opens and closes so fast. To workaround this, you can try one of two things. First, avoid the camera LCD – look through the viewfinder with one eye and use the other eye to spot the subject crossing the camera’s field of view. Second, you can try uses a lens that increases the field of view, allowing you more time to take the picture.

So how do you begin to take good photos? Well, the first thing to remember is this: It’s the photographer that takes great photos, not the camera. Think about that for a minute. It’s true isn’t it? I’ve seen some people take great photos with a simple point-and-shoot camera, while some take lousy shots with the most expensive SLR.
Fret not! Read these tips on shooting digital photos and apply them the next time you have a chance. Before long, you’ll be shooting photos like a pro!
Does this sound familiar? You buy the latest digital camera out there, come home, rip off the box, then proceed to fiddle with the device. You briefly flick through the hundred page camera manual and then never look at it again. Not a good idea! If you buy a digital camera, you owe it to yourself to understand its ins and outs. Learn how to control exposure, how to use different camera modes and how to use the flash. The knowledge you gain about the camera will be invaluable when you’re out in the field taking those special photos.
2. Learn to Control the Flash
One of the most important things you need to know about digital photography is to control the flash. Personally, I hate to rely on the automatic flash that comes with the digital camera. Depending on the situation, you need to switch off or switch on the flash.
For example, when taking outdoor photos, it is sometimes good to turn on the flash to illuminate the subject, especially if he or she is in the shade. On the other hand, you can also choose to turn off the flash when taking indoor shots. Sometimes, using the flash indoors will result in unnatural skin color and harsh glare in your photos.
Almost all digital camera these days have a macro mode. This setting is ideal for taking close up shots of objects like flowers or insects. On my Canon PowerShot S500, it’s represented by a flower symbol. What you do is to pick a subject, turn on macro mode, then get as close to it as your camera will allow. Make sure you allow the camera to focus properly before depressing the shutter button fully.
A basic rule of photography is to hold the camera level. Since most digital cameras come with a LCD, you can use it to properly frame your shots. Next time you’re taking a shot, try to look for the horizontal lines and use them as guides. A good example is to make use of the horizon when you’re taking a photo of a sunset.
I recommend this tip to all budding photographers – camera tripods are an essential tool in your photography arsenal. When will you need a tripod? Well, it’s useful if you’re taking shots under low-light conditions or trying to capture fast moving objects. I like to use a tripod when taking night shots city streets, for example.

Do take note, however, that a higher ISO setting gives a faster shutter speed and requires less light. This will produce noiser photos.
Just like you must have enough rolls of film when using traditional cameras, make sure you always have enough memory capacity in your digital camera. It’s terrible to be on a holiday taking great photos and suddenly realizing you’ve no memory space left. Here are some general guidelines for digital camera storage.

If you want to improve your digital photography skills, you may want to take a look at Digital Photography Success.

rofessional photographers usually specialise in one particular area of work, such as fashion, newspaper, medical or high street photography. Photographer is a blanket term, used to cover several different occupations in which the common factor is that a camera is used to record people, places, events or objects. The exact nature of the work depends very much on the specialism and determines the subject matter of the photographs being taken. Photographers’ work can appear anywhere from newspapers and magazines to billboards and textbooks. Much of their time is spent selecting locations and equipment, arranging lighting, positioning subjects and composing pictures.
They may specialise in one of the following areas:
· Fashion – working with models, stylists and lighting technicians for advertising agencies, magazines or design groups.
· Newspaper – working for local, regional or national newspapers, as a member of staff or freelance.
· Medical – taking photographs of operations, experiments and post-mortems for diagnostic and scientific purposes.
· High street or general practice – taking family portraits, school groups and weddings, and working for local businesses such as estate and advertising agencies.
There are also specialist police photographers and others who work in science, industry and commerce.
Entry level
It is common to start as a photographer’s assistant, particularly in high street, advertising, fashion and editorial photography. Many new entrants have completed courses in photography, but this is not always necessary. Others start through an apprenticeship, or as trainees in specialist fields such as medical photography. A portfolio of work is essential. The subject matter should reflect the specialist professional area for which you are applying, so you should avoid such things as holiday snaps, sunsets and family photographs. A dozen or so well-presented prints or transparencies should be enough at this stage.
Entry requirements for photography courses vary enormously. City & Guilds courses, for example, have no entry requirements; BTEC national certificates and diplomas require four GCSEs/S grades (A-C/1-3) or the equivalent; HNC/HND courses look for one or two A levels/H grades and some GCSEs/S grades or the equivalent; Specialist degree and HND courses require two or three A levels/H grades and five GCSEs/S grades (A-C/1-3), or equivalent qualifications.
For trainee posts in medical photography employers prefer four or five GCSEs/S grades (A-C/1-3), possibly including English, maths and a science. Some may also require photography qualifications. The basic requirement for the press photographer training scheme is five GCSE/S Grade passes at (A-C/1-3), including English, or a further education course in photography. Some police forces take on trainees, normally with five GCSEs/S grades (A-C/1-3).
Making the grade
Training can be formal or informal, depending on your specialist area. As a trainee medical photographer, for example, you would study part-time, while working in a hospital, for the Medical Photography Examination available from the British Institute of Professional Photography or the Institute of Medical Illustrators. Similarly, as a trainee newspaper photographer, you would work towards the National Council for the Training of Journalists National Certificate in Press Photography, or an NVQ/SVQ Level 4 in Newspaper Journalism (Press Photography). On the other hand, your training as an advertising or fashion photographer could be entirely on-the-job, starting with odd jobs in the studio such as messenger work or tea making.
At the higher end of qualification levels, the Professional Qualifying Examination (PQE) of the British Institute of Professional Photography enjoys a good reputation among employers. The PQE can be combined with a degree or higher national diploma and is beginning to break down the traditional resistance of many employers to photography graduates.
Some assistant photographers become partners or are hired as photographers in the studio. Press photographers can move to a national paper or magazine and then gain seniority within the team. For self-employed photographers, success depends on building up a business, a network of contacts and a good reputation.
Personal qualities
Given that most professional photographers are self-employed, you would need a high level of self-confidence, allied to creative talent and driving ambition, to survive in such fiercely competitive areas as advertising or fashion photography. Even in a high street studio, you would need good business skills and the ability to communicate effectively. While you need a good eye for colour and composition, qualities such as punctuality, patience and reliability are also important. You should be skilled in digital imaging technology and the use of computers, as photography is rapidly changing to accommodate these developments. As a medical photographer, you would need knowledge of anatomy and physiology.
Looking ahead
Photography is a very competitive occupation. There are about 25,000 professional photographers in the UK, and most are self-employed. It is particularly hard to find an opening in fashion, advertising or press photography and vacancies are rarely advertised. Starting as an assistant and gradually building up a network of personal contacts is often the only way to proceed. Once you are established in the profession, a combination of talent and perseverance can open the door to lucrative contracts. For those who want the security of a structured career path, medical photography may be the route to pursue.
Alternative suggestions
Other possibilities might include artist/illustrator, fashion designer, graphic designer, journalist, publisher or TV/Film camera operator.
Perhaps it’s down to the weak pound, but in the past few weeks Cream Wedding Photography has become popular with people from overseas deciding to get married in the UK.
First there was Cambria from California, who married her English husband Lloyd at Clearwell Castle, Gloucestershire. A fantastic venue for couples wanting to say that they got married at a real English castle and the weather was perfect too.
Next there was Sandra from Brazil with her marriage to Dean with a small ceremony in the West Midlands.
In the past week a marriage ceremony in Islington, London, with the bride coming from South Africa and groom from Brazil. The couple needed a second witness and our photographer was more than willing to step up to the task.
Now we have a second booking from California, with the couple living in the UK and the groom’s mother organising the photography from the USA.
London based cake designer Lily Gray produces an amazing range of sculpted fresh homemade bespoke cakes for all occasions. Cream Wedding Photography’s intrepid reporter tracked her down at her base in Mitcham, south London.
Lily, please tell us about your background and how you became involved in making celebratory cakes?
‘I started making cakes about 20 years ago when my children were young. My first sculpted cake was a Postman Pat cake for my three year old. Ever since then I was hooked to the wonderful world of sugar art. I did a 7900 City and Guilds Art and Design course, followed by further courses at the prestigious Brooklands College, studying cake decoration and wired sugar flowers. I am a member of the British Sugarcraft Guild and recently won two awards for my cakes.’
So what types of celebrations do you make your cakes for?
‘Weddings, birthdays, Christenings, anniversaries, Halloween parties, retirement, Communion, henna nights, Valentine’s Day, Christmas, Easter etc. Also I make unusual cookies & cupcakes.
‘My business is unique as I provide something really extraordinary for your special unforgettable occasion. I pride myself on incredible attention to detail, providing you with a cake of your dreams.’
Are there any particular types of client you are looking for or prefer working with?
‘I prefer to make cakes for someone who wants a bespoke unique cake, rather than making standard cakes that are easily available in Supermarkets. I am quiet, hardworking and a perfectionist. I prefer to add my own style to cakes ordered by my clients. Most of them are happy to leave me to do the design work as I have never disappointed them before. I always tend to go one step further to get the details just right.’
What sort of things do you need to know from a customer before you can start working on their?
‘May customers want me to copy a cake they have seen in a magazine or shop, or to match them to their party plates. For children’s birthday parties they will ask for a cartoon or TV character. Increasingly customers are designing their own invitations on the computer and I’m then asked to copy the invite for a cake design. I tailor the cake to suit their budget, number of people attending, type of cake required, i.e. Madeira, chocolate, fruit etc.’
Do you have any funny stories to tell about your cake making?
‘I once made a ghost cake, along with lots of other creepy cakes for a Halloween event at my children’s school. I placed the ghost cake on top of my car whilst I loaded the other cakes. Unfortunately, I forgot to load that cake and drove off with the cake on my roof. When I got to the school, my ‘Ghost’ had flown off somewhere!
‘I also made a pizza cake and left it on my table to pack away later. My builder came in, took one look at my pizza cake and said, “Oh you are having a pizza too! My wife has also cooked a pizza for my dinner tonight.” I laughed and told him that it was a cake. He just couldn’t believe it and kept looking at it. Obviously, I couldn’t give him a piece to try as it was commissioned for one of my regular clients.’
Lily cakes are truly amazing and need to be seen to be believed.

THE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS
A short time ago the Independent Newspaper approached Cream Wedding Photography and we gave an interview based around the above information on entering and the state of the wedding photography industry. This was subsequently published in the Education & Careers section. The text below contains the details that we supplied for the Article.
Traditionally, wedding photographers have been sole traders working from a high street shop offering wedding photography alongside studio portraits and commercial photography services. Couples getting married booked the services of a local photographer to shoot their wedding. This has been the state of play up to the late 1990s.
The Internet has revolutionised the way people access information. The world is now at our fingertips. No longer are couples restricted to just one shop window but have a whole world of photographers’ shop windows in their living rooms.
The ability for anyone to create a website, together with other factors, such as the high level of students leaving colleges and universities with a degree in photography has resulted in a small army of photographers entering the market all jostling for the opportunity to photograph weddings. The revolution in digital photography and the availability of digital cameras at affordable prices has created an explosion of Weekend Wedding Photographers – amateurs who make a second income from advertising their services. The photography industry is not regulated and anyone can set up shop as a Wedding Photographer with little, poor, or no skills in this specialised area.
Sometimes, an established photographer will take an unskilled assistant to a wedding to get more of the less important shots. This is often done for no pay but allows a wannabe the ability to make up a portfolio of photos and put them on their own websites. Looking at these photos usually gives the game away, as the bride and groom are not looking at the camera but are obviously posed for the main photographer. Many photographers’ websites show these types of shots. We do know of people advertising their services as wedding photographers who have never even photographed a wedding completely by themselves. One person who, straight out of college, set up a website with these very type of shots and is advertising their wedding photography services with prices starting at £1,900.
Established wedding photographers have seen a great reduction in their business from the above factors. Gone are the days when they could name their own price. This has had an unfortunate knock on effect. Some established wedding photographers have set up a second business offering a cheaper service. They are marketing this as ‘Budget Wedding Photography’ and selling it as ‘Simple’ ‘Affordable’ ‘Budget’ ‘No Frills’ or ‘Easy’ wedding services. They hide their true identity with a second name, web site, and a seperate email address. Unfortunately for unsuspecting couples, these photographers are frequently sending their unskilled assistants or use local inexperienced student wannabes for this type of shoot.
