People have high expectations for wedding photography so it\u2019s important to have a few tricks up your sleeve for the big day. The best part about these wedding photography lighting techniques is that they don\u2019t require photoshop: you can create these effects with a basic gobo projection setup. From creating an outdoor feel in an indoor space to creating a textured backdrop, gobos can take your wedding photography from standard to stunning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Color diffusion <\/span><\/h3>\n

Gobos and color filters can help you make subtle changes to <\/span>lighting color<\/span><\/a> in a photo, helping to adjust otherwise uncontrollable factors such as the time of day and the RGB scale. By utilizing gobos for color enhancement, a photographer can make an indoor studio look more like a summer or winter day, or create the appearance of twilight or the beautiful dawn sky, all in a single photo session.<\/span><\/p>\n

Color washes<\/span><\/h3>\n

In traditional film photography adding color filters to images can be time consuming, but with <\/span>custom glass gobo<\/span><\/a> designs that incorporate color, you can instantly add a wash of blue or green during the photo session.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lighting illusions <\/span><\/h3>\n

Rather than altering colors or similar lighting needs, a photographer can alter how lighting falls on a subject in their photos with gobos. A gobo can create the illusion of light filtered through window blinds, shining through stained glass or even more fantastical looks, such as fire, water diffusion and more. These effects can be achieved using different gobos or projectors, such as the <\/span>ECO Spot LED40-LE LED Liquid Effect Projector<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Patterned backgrounds & monograms<\/span><\/h3>\n

Of course, the classic use of gobos is still a powerful one. Projecting a name or other words into the back- or foreground of a photo can be a great way to enhance a wedding or other event and create a more memorable experience for the subjects as well.\u00a0Make sure to check out our Wedding Gobos<\/a> page for a full catalogue of available fonts and monogram designs. You can also design a custom glass gobo<\/a> to meet your needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
