Default Do you do baptizms???

Being new in this business (And I guess if I had 20 years on this I would do it too) I look on the internet for wedding shots to get new ideas, different angles, I don't know, there are so many things I look for in wedding shots to learn.

Same thing with fashion, portraits, etc.

But more than weddings, I'm hired to do baptizms. Which are "simpler". And I've being looking for baptizms shots everywhere to see if there's a different aproach or thing to do my job better but I can only find a few.

Do you do this? If so, you have a gallery I can see? Or do you know a web site with such shots?

Thank you and have a great weekend y'all

I have done multiple baptisms although I don't have allot up on the web.

Flickr: Search Brian Hursey's photostream

The bottom 3 photos on this page are baptism photos I took. I do it for free for my church when asked.

Blackshear Place

I normally try and get 3 shots one of them out of the water, one of them submerged and the one of them coming out of the water.

I do all the baptism's for my church. I don't have anything posted up but I bet I have done over 20 since July. I do them for free for the church. You need to find out if they allow flash or not during the baptism. My church does not so I shoot with my D200 on 800 ISO with my 50mm 1.8 prime fully opened. I was a little close from where I have to crouch down so I just got the 35mm 1.8 but I haven't had a chance to try it out.
