It's all about Personality

In my experience, one of the best ways to produce an interesting picture is to have an interesting subject. The reception for this wedding was a 60's/70's theme party and the bride and groom had dressed their parts well. I had set up two SB-600s on a light stand with an umbrella and I asked attendees to pose in their costumes.

Some of the people had great costumes but the pictures I took of them were not that interesting. Here on the other hand, this is one of my favourite pics from this event and it is because of their personalities. They were animated and really having some fun and it shows in the photo. The best part of this picture is not my lighting or camera technique, it is the bride and groom.
