Episode notes
Street Ethos At A Family Wedding
- Ward photographed his nephew's wedding using a street-photography mindset instead of formal poses.
- He shot high ISO, wide-open apertures, embraced motion blur, and selected about 40–50 final images.
Favor Candid Moments Over Formal Posing
- Avoid forcing traditional posed shots when the crowd already takes phone photos; wait until the party and capture candid moments.
- Use high ISO and wide apertures in dim venues and accept motion blur as atmosphere.
Skip Flash To Preserve Ambience
- Skip flash in small venues if it creates harsh shadows and distracts from atmosphere.
- Preview JPEGs on your phone or camera to confirm tones and exposure before committing.
