WEDDING SAMPLES
This is a sampling of my candid photography for weddings. These samples are not for sale. Contact Chuck Sale Photography to arrange wedding photography. Call 719-266-0000 or email chucksalephotography@gmail.com.
I rarely accept commissions to do wedding set-ups or portraits. Typically, another photographer is hired to do this work while I am hired to search for what cannot be posed. For wedding setups and portraits, I recommend my friend Lynn Sim. For my services, go to Contact Info.
I use a long (high magnification) lens and hand-hold the camera. A tripod would be technically preferable, but I suffer this technical disadvantage to gain a human one. I need agility and invisibility. The tripod interferes with both.
People are revealed in profound and beautiful ways in their moments of solitude, especially when they are in a crowd or on its borders, and especially when they are not thinking about being seen (or photographed). I stand off unobtrusively and seek for these private moments.
People can also be revealed beautifully in the second or two it takes for them to come out of this solitude and realize they are seen and known and included. I seek for these fleeting moments as well.
Finally, people are revealed beautifully in moments of unselfconscious interaction with others, especially loved ones. Artful capture of these moments can be like photographing a soccer game: The action is fast and the ball is always moving.
Observation effect is a difficulty that plagues the diligent scientist: The very act of observing changes the thing being observed. This is a problem for photographers as well: Some people hate to be photographed while others like it too much. Still others manifest stilted disinterest. Truth and therefore beauty are elusive, for the artist as well as the scientist.
