Candid photos for your wedding? A bold and authentic idea that will tell your special day in a surprising way, between genuine real snapshots and intrinsic spontaneity, full of irony and thrilling emotions.
Candid photos (documentary), so sought after today, were born in England in 1877, when two London reporters, John Thomson and Adolph Smith, published in the pages of the book “Street life in London” some photos of the poorest neighborhoods of the city, using a particular photographic process for printing, the “woodburytipia” (patented in 1864 by Walter Bentley Woodbury) at the time more advanced and also expensive. The book was very successful, but this technique really exploded only during the “Great Depression” in the United States, when the then President Roosevelt, in 1937, established a photographic commissioning center (the Farm Security Administration) with the aim of documenting the agricultural recession that had spread throughout the country. The FSA quickly became a real breeding ground for “snapshots” of poverty, thus inspiring the birth of a new artistic-photographic current of photojournalists.
After this ancestral immersion in the USA of the last century and documentary photography (photoreportage), we dive back into today’s Salerno of spontaneous photos and perfect weddings.
Those wonderful spontaneous photos that you are about to search for for the long-awaited wedding day are born from the need of a talented creative, a photojournalist, to be the right man who creates the right moment to tell, step by step, a true story, capturing the minute details capable of making a photo special, of imprisoning unconstructed emotions in a frame! Dear friend, you are looking for the man of Carpe Diem with the right tools, a clinical eye and a decidedly uncommon creativity! In Salerno, such a Solomonic choice can only fall on Bruno Ferrara photographer; the exact mix of flair, competence and imagination that you are looking for for your divine wedding photo reportage!
That said, all that remains is to quote the great pioneer of photo reportage, Henri Cartier-Bresson, also known as the “eye of the century”:
“Photography is recognizing at the same time and in a fraction of a second an event and the rigorous arrangement of forms perceived with the gaze that express and signify that event. It is putting the mind, the eyes and the heart on the same line of sight.
It is a way of life”
And we hope that your wedding day can be relived forever, faithfully recounting itself through the wonderful spontaneous photos of an enchanted wedding album.
