bill.akstens Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 How much care and attention do you place on a bride with long hair? I find that even the slightest breeze can send long hair every which way. Should the bride be asked to comb her hair for each and every posed shot? For candids that would be impossible to do. What if no breeze-free spots are available? Do people with long hair just accept the fact that their hair can be easily moved out of place, into their face, etc, and then accept photos like that? Even indoors this can be a problem. I use film and digital retouching is not practical for me. I'm curious about how others have handled these types of situations.

think27 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Since 99% of all my portraits and wedding party/family and couple shots are done outdoors.... I've had lots of experience with this one! What do I do? Well, I try - light/shadows permitting - to have her somewhere where the wind will blow her hair and veil back instead of to the side or forward. Or, I find something that blocks the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberwolf1 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Light discs held by a guest can work to block the wind. However, what I have done is to hide a guest or bridesmaid behind the bride to hold down her veil. If it is "hair", then I would be using a protected area from the wind. Maybe try facing her into the wind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
