I would like discuss why I love photographing a wedding with a 200mm lens. One of my favorite quotes is the following: “Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures.”
For me being in a wedding either as a guest or as a photographer it is always full of feelings. Of course, the intensity of feelings depends mainly on the relationship I have with the couple. However, I have noticed that the choice of focal length also affects my emotions.
From the first time that I picked a camera to photograph a wedding I realized that my favorite focal length is the 200mm. My belief is that this telephoto view of the world amplifies my feelings. I feel closer to what the couple feels. In addition, I remain unobtrusive, and at the same time I am an “intruder” to their psychological state of being.
These images were made with a 200mm focal length. They represent so great my feelings on that wedding day. The wedding took place in Glyfada, Greece.
Photographing a wedding with a 200mm lens is always a great pleasure. To view my wedding portfolio, please click this link.
