“There is an art to photographing people effectively”, Clive van Rensburg explains. “It involves a subtle balance between lighting and emotion, angle and movement. Clive van Rensburg goes on to explain “I want my subjects to appear in a photo as if the photographer was not there, casual and confident with spectacular lighting. All people can look as good as the models in editorial layouts. The trick is to hire a photographer who understands this balance. That’s when its fun….to give everyone the look”.

Digital photography has accented traditional film days with great creativity. Clive van Rensburg believes the inception of the photo should be produced perfectly rather than some manipulation in Photoshop. “The film days were very demanding in relative terms to the incredible cameras we have out today”, Clive van Rensburg. “…back then, however, you really had to be an expert on lighting and ratios to saturate the film base perfectly”. This knowledge is highly regarded as an excellent knowledge base for the digital cameras today. “Make the photo perfect at the instant you shoot it, very little manipulation should follow later”.

Clive Van Rensburg Gives Tips On How to Choose a Wedding Photographer

Wedding Photography is the most important investment of your wedding day. In addition to checking your photographer’s recognized credentials, style, and personal work ethic, there are other essential aspects to keep in mind:

• Photographer Talent – Many photographers cannot afford certification, or are too busy to keep renewing their certification. Do not overlook related experience and exceptional talent.
• Costs – Some photographers cost more than others, often for a good reason. Understand the saying “You Get What Your Pay For” has its merits.
• Digital / Film – There are disadvantages to both film and digital. It’s worth conducting some research.
• Liability / Archiving – Some photographers may not keep a backup of their weddings, ask your photographer for additional media recovery packages, and consult their common practices.
