Hello friends, do you remember when in the

last episode I told you, it is likely

that when I finish recording this video, I

will surely think, shit, I have left something,

I have forgotten something, that's how it was,

I was just editing it, I just published

it, well, before publishing it and I think,

shit, I have not explained everything well that

I would have liked and I did not

go deep into a topic that perhaps it

is important that I stop a little more,

okay?

So this video is going to be a

little bit, or it is thought, it is

thought first to make the previous content better,

it is much more closed, I mean, it

is much better, compact, or that it is

twice as didactic because, although the previous one

I think I explained well, but I think

the information that I am going to provide

in this video is also going to be

fundamental for you to understand better how Erika

and I work in a religious ceremony, okay?

I mean, I'm always talking about the same

thing, religious ceremonies, to explain a little bit

how we work in churches, as I already

explained, with not very good light, with sometimes

priests who sometimes, not always, are not in

our favor, and all these things, okay?

What I did not explain quite well was,

what I did not explain quite well, or

what I did not tell, sorry, what I

did not develop quite well was that, the

way in which we constantly move with Erika.

Remember that we are a team, if you

are not, if you are not, everything that

I am going to explain will also help

us, I mean, if you are not a

team of two photographers, if you are only

working, without an assistant, without a second photographer,

without anyone, also this that I am going

to tell you may help you, because I

am going to tell you where we are

or how the distribution is on the day

of the wedding in a church, okay?

So, the first thing I would like to

tell you is that all day, all day,

especially on the day of the wedding, we

are working according to the diagram that you

are seeing now.

What do I mean by this?

I call all this the circle diagram, okay?

And it was developed by Erika as many

years ago, in which it helps me to

better explain how we move.

If any of you have already seen it,

please, patience, it's only a few seconds and

this will help a lot to those who

have not seen it yet.

The central circle is obvious that they are,

that small circle, it is obvious that they

are the boyfriends.

The closest circle to the boyfriends, okay?

It is where one of us is going

to meet constantly.

What is that photographer going to be doing,

who is photographing those, that circle, in that

circle?

Clearly document the relationships that occur between the

boyfriends and the people who are closest to

them.

What happens, or what usually happens, that always

the closest people, friends, family, parents, all these

people are in that circle, in the circle

that I am showing you now, right?

Therefore, one of us will always be there

and the other, the other, the other partner

will always be in the other circle, almost

always, okay?

The first circle, as I tell you, is

about or will serve to help us document

those interpersonal relationships that occur between the boyfriends

and the closest guests.

The third circle or last circle, the photographer

who is there, I mean, will always be

in charge of taking risks, that is the

first of all, and two, to document, to

capture the atmosphere that is there.

As you have already been seeing in the

images that I am showing you, because the

images that I am showing you tell perfectly

what a photographer did in a precise moment

and what the other partner did in the

other precise moment.

You understand, as I already told you in

the previous video as well, I do not

know in your weddings, but in our religious

weddings, rarely few things happen.

But those few things that happen, we are

going to get the most out of them.

If the boyfriends enter the church, what else

do I explain?

I'm never going to change that, I'm sorry.

If the bride enters the church at that

moment, which is a unique moment, you understand

me, we are going to see how at

that very moment we try to get two

images, because in the future that will help

us to have two different points of view

and a visual language, a much richer narrative

thread in images, which if we only had

one point of view, we would be screwed.

Well, not screwed, but we would have less,

because, in quotes, we would have less material.

Because as I am already telling you, in

our religious ceremonies, it is not good to

generalize, but in the greater number of ceremonies

that we photograph, few things tend to happen.

And the few things are reduced to the

entrance of the bride, the exit of the

bride, vows and rings.

And it's over.

Something can happen, okay, yes, but more or

less of those blocks, of those actions that

I have mentioned to you, we have to

try to get the most out of it

so that everything ends up working.

What does it mean if someone has doubts?

How do you know when you should place

yourself in one or the other circle?

It comes out naturally, believe me.

After working four years, just by looking, both

I look at Erika, and Erika looks at

me, and we already understand each other, we

don't even need to talk, we already know,

simply with body language, how one anticipates the

other, we already know how it is.

If what happens in the first circle is

very important, super important, we will both approach

that first circle, do you understand?

If not, only one will remain.

It's like, without comparison, but it's as if

we were a small regiment of soldiers.

It's as if two soldiers were going to

fight, and one of them is very close

to the action, and the other is, for

you to understand me, as if he were

a sniper.

The sniper is always hidden, he is always

waiting for the right moment, and he knows

what to expect.

The other photographer, the soldier, or whatever we

want to call him, is the one who

will always be in the trench, at the

foot of the canyon, that is, to fight,

to capture moments, to capture, as I have

told you, those interpersonal relationships that exist between

the boyfriends and the people closest to them.

Also, what does it mean that we are

not going to approach both in the same

circle?

Well, yes, for example, if I am seeing

that something super, super important is happening, and

Erika I see that she needs a hand,

I'm going to get closer.

Or if I see that what is happening

there is so shocking that, for mere profession,

I mean, for mere impetuosity, I'm going to

get closer too, because it seems to me

that I don't want to miss that photo.

But normally one is going to be close

and the other far away, and we are

going to always alternate at all times in

the ceremony, to always correspond to the moment

that is, for example, capturing, for example, the

partner, well, you too.

If one is capturing a speech from the

sister from one angle, the other is going

to worry about completing the other partner from

another angle that same moment, so that in

the end, as you can imagine, the file

is really rich and with many graphic possibilities.

And just to finish, because I saw that

there were a couple of comments, maybe in

the future there will be more, but I

wanted to answer a couple of questions that

were in the first post.

And the question was, one of the questions

was from Mr. Setien, in which he asked,

fuck man, is that, even if you say

that your churches are bright, they are not

very bright, the photos that I see seem

very bright.

Well, let's see, first, they take a little

editing, that is, they take a little work

for that to go up, okay?

Two, what would happen if I had a

church like the one you mention, in which

a super super dark hermit, something like that.

Well, I just want you to see this

church that I visited, that we visited on

June 12, this was a hermit in the

mountains, they had the lights that were there,

one of a warm color temperature, the other

of a cold color temperature, I mean, when

we saw it on Friday we almost took

a shot, because as you well know, always

the day before, we always visit the locations.

We were about to put a super super

bright LED that we have, but in the

end we left it.

If we had a church like the one

Mario mentions, a church that was like a

cave, maybe, maybe we would throw a LED

screen, at least, or two, to illuminate a

little and give the altar, especially the grooms,

a little light.

Maybe, it's not entirely sure, or maybe they

were flashes.

I mean, I would have prepared a couple

of feet on both sides, as in the

episode that I told you a little while

ago, maybe with two feet and bouncing on

some wall, or direct, with two shoulders, but

too much, I don't finish it to see

it clearly.

I touch wood and at the moment it

seems that we have not touched or that

we have not worked in a church so

dark.

The second question was from Dave Montenegro, a

photographer from Panama, who asked that his weddings

are at night, that is, weddings in church

are at night.

Once I had a wedding in Mexico that

was at night, which scared me a lot,

it was a bit crazy, because yes, the

celebration, I am prepared for that, but leaving

a ceremony and being at night was a

drama.

What we did in that case, it caught

me totally suddenly, I had not controlled that,

I saved my ass by putting the flash.

Since I had to put the flash directly,

the flash like that, I mean, direct over

there, all I did was the head of

the flash, that is, put it as if

it bounced up, but of course, we were

talking about that there is nothing to bounce,

but we are talking about the sky, the

black sky at night, that is, there is

nothing to bounce anywhere.

If this is the flash, what I did

in that case was simply to place it

like that, as I was saying, place the

hand here and simply shoot.

Why did I put the hand?

For the mere fact that the hand, remember,

is not white, it is a little brownish,

with which it is going to bounce, I

am going to bounce here and it is

going to expand the light twice as well,

that is, twice as interesting, and the hand

is going to help me more than this

little thing, this little thing is too tiny

and it does not finish convincing me either.

The hand well and I can redirect, fucking

great, and on top of that, the temperature

of my hand is warm, with which the

light that I am going to throw forward

is warm and it is not going to

be a very strong fire, because remember that

I think I will bounce 40% because

the hand already eats light.

I'm talking to you, let's see, that's nothing

didactic, that was to save the ass, okay?

If we were prepared for that, knowing that

all that, we work with two photographers or

even with an assistant, then place a pair

of feet, something like that, to illuminate, I

mean, feet on the sides of the exit

of the church to illuminate at the time

of the departure of the grooms.

The only thing that occurs to me, or

simply place the flash as I have told

you, but I have not finished to start,

okay?

So I have said all this, until here

today's video, friends, nothing more, I do not

want to roll up more, simply this video

was to give some more information, some more

content, better elaborated or more complete, or complete

the information of the previous video, right?

So nothing more, until next time and to

work.
