in the aud
Here the photos are very hit or miss the lights are great but very unforgiving. You usually have a 15 minute set to get any and all worship photos you need. So you quickly learn balance your time between the stage the crowd shots. Then each successive week become more and more brave with where you are willing to stand and move to.
candids
Just like the crowd shots bring scope into the worship photos, nothing tells a better story than a good candid shot. These are the photos that I utilize the most on our Instagram page. Not just here but crowd candids in the aud, talking with staff in the hallway, and a father playing golf or tossing a hammer with their son. I find that these photos are the most relatable and generate the most engagement.
Landscapes
There is something about just getting outside and shooting that is just so much fun. I love having a curious camera, one that is constantly on the move to find the next thing. So it is so great when my friends take us out to the Thousand Islands to just get away in the summer and naturally I will always bring my camera.
