Let’s look at some main differences between candid and traditional photography

 1. Focus –The Traditional Photographer focuses on Coverage. They aim to capture most of the event as much as possible ensuring that every part of the ceremony is documented, even if they have to ask couple to repeat a certain shoot while an important ceremony takes place. They meticulously take pictures of the ceremonies. They will aim to cover the tiniest details from wedding puja items and the attached paraphernalia too. They are really good at creating a comprehensive album of your events and the people who attend the event.

However, the focus of the best candid wedding photographers in Gurgaon is Emotion. While the couple is the stars of the day, there are people (close family & friends) for whom this wedding is also a special day. The candid photographer will weave in and out of events to follow the actions of all attendees. 

The focus is not only on the events but also on a lot of other important details like getting ready shots, décor shots, etc. the choice of location may vary from home to natural surroundings.

 2.  Training –The Traditional Photographer has a clear focus on covering as much of the event and people as possible. So,  he or she needs to be rigorous and ever-present to ensure all moments are captured.

 While the Candid Photographer has to master working with lights, multiple lenses and equipment like reflectors. A good candid photographer needs to be technically trained to ensure that all the photos she/he delivers are consistent. The varied light conditions demand a dedication to constantly training with new equipment and the latest techniques.  

3. Equipment – Different equipment for different demands of candid photographers and traditional photographers. The equipment they use is different and unique to their style of photography.

Candid Photographers invest in a variety of modern expensive lenses  because they need to be at the cutting edge of photography. For example, Studio Pearl has invested in the highest quality Canon cameras and lenses apart from good quality drones instead of renting lower-quality drones.

 4. Editing Process – The Traditional Photographer shoots tons of events every month which may cause time constraints and lead to in a very basic edit of the photos. What you receive is often a vast collection of mildly corrected photos.

The Candid Photographer makes time to sit and make significant edits to the pictures she/he shoots. Good composition & colour grading is what make an image great! Candid photographers spend a lot of time on colour corrections, curation and other creative edits to get the high-quality output. This makes them deliver images that appear thoughtful and personal.

What Should I Choose – Candid Photography Or Traditional Photography?

If you are going to have an intimate event like a wedding ceremony, say <50 guests then just candid wedding photographers in Gurgaon will do the best job. At any numbers greater than this you should consider a company that does both. Studio Pearl excels in providing both services because this allows our respective teams to do what they specialise in. The difference between the two forms is in the way both observe a scene that needs to be photographed. And also, how they want to frame a subject in the picture and click it. The difference could also be in the ambience they prefer and the use of light in them.

In both cases, the results are exceptionally different from each other. But depending on the photographer’s skill, both styles of photography can give good results. Moreover, some photos are best when they are candid while certain parts of the wedding need traditional photography. Book photo studio in Gurgaon to add variety to your pictures and cherish them for years to come.
