फोटोग्राफर Joey Rudd

—सबसे पहले सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात - आप ओटावा, कनाडा में सबसे अच्छा फोटोग्राफर किसे कह सकते हैं? :)

—The best wedding photographer for your wedding is the one that you get along with best! Obviously, it is important that you like their style and photos, but most importantly you need to be able to trust your photographer. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day so I encourage couples to find someone that they enjoy spending time with.

—क्या आप फ़ोटोजेनिक हैं?

—My two year old daughter thinks I am.

—आप फोटोग्राफ़ी इंडस्ट्री में कैसे आए?

—It kind of just happened. It was a natural progression of taking photos personally to professionally.

—आपकी नज़र में एक अच्छी तस्वीर में सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बातें क्या हैं?

—A good photo is one that tells a story. Couple's trust me to capture the essence of their day in still life and I see this as a very important (and enjoyable!) task. With the exceptions of some of my more creative and double exposure photographs, I endeavor to capture the colours and lighting of a day accurately so that it tells the story of the wedding in a way that the couple can remember it.

—क्या आपको यात्रा करना पसंद है?

—Did someone say Iceland?

—अपने पेशे के बारे में आपको सबसे अधिक क्या पसंद है?

—There is something special about being invited to share in the most important day in a couple's life. Moreover, to be trusted to document it for them. I love to hear back from couples about how much they love their wedding photos.

—अपने पेशे के बारे में आपको क्या सबसे कम पसंद है?

—The behind scenes of running a business. (Cough) Taxes.

—फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी का क्या भविष्य है?

—I am always asking this and seeking to grow as an individual and as a business, but at the end of the day we can only guess. I look forward to the journey.

—आप जिस फोटोग्राफी में स्पेश्लाइज़ेशन रखते हैं उसमें क्या खास होता है?

—That each and every moment is so important and timeless. It goes by so fast for the bride and groom- that is where I come in.

—आलोचनाओं को आप किस रूप में लेते हैं?

—As with anything that you pour so much of your life into, it can be hard to hear criticism, but I try to learn and grow rather than build walls.

—क्या फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी में कोई ट्रेंड चल रहे हैं?

—There are always trends, editing styles, colours (or lack there of), airy, moody, etc. I try to stay true to the day itself rather than getting caught up in all of these. I am there to document the day after all.
Although, as a signature, I do enjoy creating a few double exposures for each couple!

—यदि किसी ग्राहक को फोटोग्राफ़र चुनना हो तो उसे क्या देखना चाहिए?

—Trust. You need to be able to trust them as a person and as a professional.

—शूटिंग के दौरान किन बातों की बिलकुल अनुमति नहीं होती है?

—Backing off docks in late October. Trust me, the water is colder when you are wearing two cameras. I always bring a change of clothes and, obviously, backup equipment for moments like this, but avoidance is always the best practice.

—एक फोटोग्राफर ऐसी कौन सी चीजें कैप्चर कर सकता है जो आमतौर पर नज़रों में नहीं आतीं?

—I am always noticing (or anticipating) moments that are happening at an event. Reactions, emotions, accidents. As a photographer I also tend to see the world around me differently. I am always considering whether or not a specific place would make for an interesting background for photos. It can be hard to turn this off when I am not "on the job".

—फ़ोटो के मूल्य को क्या प्रभावित करता है? इसके तत्व यानी एलीमेंट्स क्या हैं?

—It can sometimes be surprising to learn what photographs from a day are a couples' favourites. Award winning photographs are not always the ones that are most important to a couple. The tearful hug of a grandparent can be significantly more beautiful than mountains.

—आपकी राय में 21वीं सदी का प्रतीक कौन व्यक्ति हो सकता है?

—Jon Snow. #winteriscoming

—आप किसकी तस्वीरें उतारना चाहेंगे?

—I love taking photos of my daughters.

—क्या आपका कोई प्रोफ़ेशनल टैबू है यानी पेशे की दृष्टि से कोई वर्जित बातें?

—Cellphones. Why are they even at weddings?

—आप किसके साथ शूटिंग करना पसंद करेंगे?

—I love shooting with my wife Natalie, she is so talented and incredibly fun to have around. But, there are also so many other talented photographers that I would enjoy shooting with and learning from.

—आप किस बारे में चिंतित रहते हैं, और क्यों?

—With a consistent routine and sufficient backups there is little to worry about. Enjoy life!

—आपके जीवन का सबसे प्रभावशाली क्षण कौन-सा है?

—When I got a standing ovation for a stand up routine in Minnesota... and I am not even funny.

—यदि आपके पास किसी एनीमेशन, साहित्य या मूवी का कैरेक्टर बनने का मौका हो तो आप कौन-सा कैरेक्टर बनना चाहेंगे और क्यों?

—Jack Pearson from This Is Us. But it's hard to live up that.

—आपको अपने जीवन कौन सबसे अधिक प्रेरित करता है और क्यों?

—So many other wedding photographers. There is so much talent and creativity out there to be inspired by.

—सफलता को आप कैसे परिभाषित करते हैं? आप इसे कैसे मापते हैं?

—If I can be a person that someone trusts whether that is a wedding couple or my family.

—पसंद किए जाने की या सम्मान पाने की, आपकी चाहत क्या रहती है?

—I would love to be both.

—अभी तक काम के दौरान सबसे बड़ी गलती या भूल आपकी क्या रही है?

—There have been little mistakes here and there, but I have always been grateful to learn from them for the future so that they don't become big mistakes down the road.

—जब आप यात्रा पर जा रहे होते हैं तो अपने साथ आप क्या लेकर चलते हैं और क्यों?

—A camera. Life goes too fast not to document it.

—आप बेहतर तस्वीरें लेने के लिए अपने आप को कैसे शिक्षित करते हैं?

—I am always trying new things. It keeps life interesting to experiment and grow as a photographer.

—आप अपनी तस्वीरों के बारे में क्या कहना चाहते हैं?

—I want my photographs to freeze a moment, capture emotion, and tell a story.

—आप अपने खाली समय में क्या करते हैं?

—I love to water ski, snowboard, or just be all around active with my family.

—क्या आप बिल्कुल नए फ़ोटोग्राफ़रों के लिए कुछ सुझाव दे सकते हैं?

—Don't be afraid to ask questions.
