Award winning Israeli photographer Sephi Bergerson recently shot and edited an entire Indian wedding with just an iPhone 6 Plus and the results are incredible.
"It has been a dream of mine for a long time, to shoot a complete Indian wedding only on the iPhone", said Bergerson. "The problem till now was not only the technological limitations of the previous iPhone models, which could be a separate discussion all together, as some of those still remain, but also, and mostly, finding the couple that will agree and allow me to shoot their wedding like this. This is the reason why I first wish to give a huge credit to Ayushi and Abhishek for the trust and support. Certainly not something I can take for granted!
The wedding may have been biggest Bergerson ever photographed. It took place in Udaipur over three days at the end of November. "I have covered many weddings in Udaipur before, but have never seen the place so beautifully decorated. It was such a pleasure taking pictures when everything, and everyone, looking so gorgeous."
Bergerson likes using the iPhone because it enables him to have more eye contact with the subject. It also functions as a camera, a darkroom and and an online research directory in one small device.
We can now shoot and process our images in the field, free from the burden of running home to our computers. We can instantly examine what works (and what doesn’t) to make our captures match our vision, as well as share them with our subject on the spot, or upload to the social media channels or your favourite online portfolio.
Shooting the whole wedding on the iPhone proved quite a challenge. Bergerson tried to focus on images that would later translate to his vision for post processing.
Daytime pictures where fantastic, but the night still remained a bit tricky. The new iPhone 6s Plus camera is superb in terms of resolution and colour rendition, but low light photography was difficult, on the dance floor for example, as the ISO limit was not letting me shoot without having motion blur.I had a hand-held LED light to help me get proper exposure. This was not an issue when taking still images of decor at night. These pictures actually came out better than the ones shot on the DSLR. The built-in HDR in the new iPhone is nothing less than incredible.
For those interested, here is Bergerson's workflow for post processing.
It would usually start with #snapseed where I correct the contrast, colour and highlights. I sometimes also add a vintage filter before moving to #mextures to add the scratches and grit. The next stage, if required, would be face retouching on #facetune. When I export to #instagram I sometimes add another filter there as well.
