There are more similarities between photography and videography than what is first understood. In fact, early movies were called moving pictures and the basic concept of motion pictures and videos has not changed much even in the transformation from film to digital. The basics of exposure and composition are easily translated between photography and videography. My journey through film photography has informed my work as a wedding videographer to help me instinctively set exposure, focus on composition, and emphasize the finer details, which all contribute to my cinematic wedding videography style.
