| Lighting & Posing Tips for Wedding Photography (Video) Posted: 21 Jun 2014 06:23 PM PDT Wedding photographer Moshe Zusman shoots 15 to 20 very high-end weddings a year. Over the course of his career, he has learned the importance of lighting and posing to create perfect pictures that don’t need to be manipulated in Photoshop. Here, in a full-length workshop, he talks about posing for engagement shoots, posing the bride and groom, shooting the wedding party and family formals, the quality and setup of light, and light shaping: (for those of you reading this by email, the seminar video can be seen here) Lighting and posing are so important, and Zusman uses them to differentiate himself from others. The way he uses lighting and posing is different, yet simple, taking his wedding photography to the next level. He fully believes that how you shape light is what defines the photo. He likes to work with color, contrast and off-camera lighting. Back in the day, Zusman says he tended to use natural light and never went outside the box. He would let the couples do what they wanted, he didn’t pose them. Now, he goes in with an idea, a vision, and he can get the perfect image quickly and easily because he knows how to pose and how to light. When he first started shooting weddings, his biggest fear was what to do with flash. Flash changes everything. A few years ago, Zusman started incorporating off-camera flash and lighting into everything he does. Now he produces stunning wedding photography that he is proud of and that his clients love.

Zusman likes vibrant images. Those are the ones he shows his clients, the ones he uses for his portfolio. He doesn’t own Photoshop. His motto is “Shoot it right.” He does use Lightroom to make adjustments to his images in post-production, but that’s it. His changes are minimal; at most he’ll adjust contrast, change levels, bring highlights down a little, and add a vignette.
