Finding The Perfect Vendor * Today's article was contributed by Michael Vayner ...with some minor edits by blog owner, Lillian Brummet Are you planning an event, maybe a wedding, or corporate party? Looking for vendors is so much more than just going to Google and looking up things like caterer, photographer, DJ, photo booth, etc. The vendor must fit your style to have a cohesive understanding. I have always tried to educate our clients or perspective clients on what to ask and look for in a vendor. One of the first things I tell them is, ask the vendor if they are bonded and insured.

Like the photo of a group gathering, beach trips, family activities, etc. Here I am assuming that you are shooting using a DSLR. Some of the tips and tricks can be applied to smartphones as well, but it would be best with a DSLR. So let's get started. 1. Aperture Modes Most of the DSLR out there in the market have something called aperture modes. Use them for candid photographs. Manual modes are too slow to capture a candid photo. 2. Use a zoom lens instead of a prime lens The problem with candid photography is that it is fast changing. Within minutes you can go from a group photo to a cake photograph to another group photo. You don't have time to change lenses. So it is better to use a zoom lens inst...
