Rozhovor
-
—Za prvé a především – koho můžete jmenovat jako nejlepšího fotografa ve vašem městě? :)
—I'd have to put my hand on heart and name Murray and Myself as the best wedding photographers in Swanage
-
—Jste fotogeničtí?
—Oh hell no, but the more time I spend in front of the camera the better I am at having my photograph taken
-
—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?
—I am the son of a photography teacher, discovering my passion for photography and playing with pinhole cameras at the age of three. He was then trained as a photojournalist and found that shooting weddings were my ideal creative outlet. As a wedding photographer I can combine so many different aspects and techniques into my work. I have since developed a passion for capturing people’s natural characters and emotions as well as incorporating experimental photographic techniques into my wedding photography.
-
—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?
—Capturing the true emotion of the moment and conveying it well. If i can produce an image that required looking at more than once to understand it I am happy.
-
—Cestujete rádi?
—Absolutely, I have spent time travelling around Europe, South America, North America and Australia burning through film and memory cards like there was no tomorrow.
-
—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?
—Meeting brides and grooms and being a part of their wonderful weddings. Also being able to work with one of my best friends to create something we are both passionate about.
-
—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?
—The incredibly long and sometimes unsocial hours spent working on images
-
—Jaká je budoucnost focení?
—I think the standards of wedding photography will continue to steadily improve as those at the top of their game differentiate themselves from the crowd. I also believe that available technology will have a major impact on the way we work and the equipment we work with.
-
—Co je výjimečného na žánru fotografií, na který se specializujete?
—The conveyance of real emotion and the ability to take someone back to the feeling of a certain time and place with an image.
-
—Jak zvládáte kritiku?
—As a tool to improve
-
—Jsou nějaké trendy v oblasti focení?
—Always, but I believe in keeping them at a considered arms length. I think wedding photography should be timeless, god forbid any of my clients look back at their images and think they look dated.
-
—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?
—The quality and style of the images should match the couples requirements but as equally important they should get along like a house on fire. After all we are the only suppliers with a bride and groom for their entire day
