Wedding Special

to see the wedding album in a second.
There are however more problems to
this as well. There are different kinds of
people in your friend list – good friends,
not so good friends, acquaintances,
work friends etc and you might not be
comfortable to share it with everyone.
Afterall it’s something special! The other
issue is that most social media platforms
tend to downsize the images and display
them in low quality. This makes no
sense since you paid a lot of money to
the photographer for his skill as well as
his high quality equipment producing
high quality images. While the former
problem can be avoided by creating a
hidden album and sharing links to only
your close friends, the latter problem
cannot be solved by the users.

diGital album
These were all the rage at one time

as people thought these would replace

all kinds of printed albums. But the

problem was that the printed albums

were much easier to use for the older

generation and it was much cheaper

and much more portable. These digital

albums then became a way of displaying

your favourite photographs, from the

wedding or otherwise, at your house or

offi ce desk. These might be good as a

conversation starter or just as a part of

your home decor.

teleVision

Imagine a family gathering after

your wedding and now imagine the

best way to view your photographs and

videos there? Mobiles and iPads are

too small? Laptops have an awkward

viewing angle? Televisions are the way

to go. Connect your television to your

laptop using an HDMI cable or just

use a pendrive and play your favourite

videos or photographs from there! The

large screens and higher viewing angle

provided for a great way to display

photographs of your wedding.

e-mail

This relatively old and tedious way

of sharing photographs, this medium is

still used. One can use google drive or

dropbox to share images and videos via

email to their close ones. This requires

a good internet connection and a lot

of time in your hands for you to sort

through and make fi nal selections of the

images you wish to share because there

is a size limit to all of these. Sometimes

when sending the same email in bulk

the emails get lost in the spam folders

of receivers which can also be an issue.

Now that we have learnt about the

pros and cons of different methods of

displaying photographs and videos and

sharing memories, we hope you can

make an informed decision as to which

mode suits you the best – both as a

client or as a photographer!
