Most wedding photographers shoot in colour and<br />

digitally convert some of the images into black and<br />

white using editing software. They can also convert<br />

black and white digital images back into colour,<br />

which black and white film was unable to do.<br />

BLACK & WHITE<br />

<strong>With</strong> the wonderful colour and<br />

digital image technology available,<br />

it’s often a surprise that people still<br />

love black and white photographs.<br />

But they provide exceptional detail,<br />

dramatic contrast between dark and<br />

light as well as subtle shades of grey<br />

and offer an ageless look that looks<br />

great for decades to come. Current<br />

interest in vintage and retro<br />

weddings has made black and white<br />

images even more popular and<br />

once framed, they make a timeless<br />

display that suits any décor.<br />

SEPIA IMAGES<br />

The red-brown tones of sepia<br />

images are usually associated with<br />

old photos but the technique<br />

has been popular for decades.<br />

Its return to popularity has now<br />

been aided by the development<br />

of sepia filters in digital cameras.<br />

The effect was achieved by<br />

photographic “toning” – a<br />

chemical process during<br />

printing, but today sepia images<br />

are effectively produced using<br />

digital filters or post-production<br />

photo-shop software programmes.<br />

SELECTIVE COLOUR<br />

Sometimes referred to as “spot<br />

colour”, this technique is an<br />

image editing technique where<br />

a colour photo is predominantly<br />

converted to black and white,<br />

but leaves an area of the photo<br />

or an item in colour. Selective<br />

colour is in popular usage for<br />

advertising but can produce<br />

eye catching wedding photos<br />

where flowers or a car remain<br />

in colour when everything else<br />

is black and white.<br />

SOFT FOCUS<br />

<strong>This</strong> film and photographic<br />

technique features a deliberate<br />

blurring of definition. It is used<br />

to create a dreamlike quality to<br />

the image and is understandably<br />

popular with bridal couples for<br />

their wedding photographs.<br />

Be guided by your<br />

professional wedding<br />

photographer on the style<br />

of photography they can<br />

produce for you and the costs<br />

associated with a variety of<br />

effects and techniques.<br />
