De allra bästa fotograferna kan få vem som helst att känna sig avslappnad framför kameran. Och de har såklart många olika verktyg för att uppnå detta oerhört viktiga mål, som givetvis påverkar resultatet i bilderna jättemycket. Ett av dessa verktyg är det som Nikk Nguyen Photo har använt sig av i dagens förlovningsfotografering: Att helt enkelt se låta de som fotograferas göra helt vanliga och avslappnade saker framför kameran. Att Nikk och paret Isabella och Ed dessutom mer eller mindre struntade i att planera mer än att välja en startplats ger såklart också spontanitet.

Så om du också vill skapa den där sköna avslappnade känslan när du ordnar en förlovnings- eller bröllopsfotografering, fundera på att inte fundera för mycket!

The very best photographers can make anybody feel relaxed in front of the camera. This is of course crucial in order to achieve a great result, and to do this they of course have many different tools and tricks. One of these tricks, used in today’s engagement shoot by talented photographer Nikk Nguyen Photo, is to simply let people do ordinary relaxing things and just go with the flow. The fact that Nikk and the couple Isabella and Ed basically skipped to plan their shoot, and doing nothing more in advance than choosing a starting point, obviously also add spontenaity.

So if you also want to create that nice relaxed feeling when arranging an engagement- or a wedding shoot, consider not considering too much in advance!

Fotografen NIkk Nguyen om fotograferingen
In the words of photographer Nikk Nguyen

“In a city as photogenic as Austin, Texas you don’t always have to plan out exactly where your engagement shoot will take place. Especially when you have a couple that’s as fun as Isabella and Ed; you’re bound to find opportunities for great spring time engagement photos all around you!

Isabella and Ed joined up with me at the South Congress Hotel (an excellent wedding venue by the way!), where we walked down South Congress Avenue. We stopped at places along the way that looked awesome. From a pretty brick wall to some greenery as a backdrop, from a hammock to a rooftop… this was an adventure of the urban kind. Isabella and Ed loosened up really quickly, and a great time ensued!

You probably already knew that life is better with pizza, but apparently this also applies to wedding engagement shoots, especially the casual ones! I knew they were hungry, so we decided to grab a slice during the shoot from Home Slice Pizza. Most wedding photographers try to avoid taking photos of people while they’re eating, but I did the exact opposite. When I look at those photos of them eating pizza together, I’m glad I did!

We ended the evening with some more shots in downtown Austin and had a great time together. We even ended up on a rooftop! With lots of laughter and stunning views of the city, I loved being able to capture their love for each other.

I rarely had to tell these two to smile for the camera, Isabella and Ed are so visibly happy that they found each other that it just radiates from them. I can’t wait for their wedding in December!”
