Fotograf Alex Constantinescu

—Først og fremmest - hvem kan du navngive som den bedste fotograf i Bukarest, Rumænien? :)

—When it comes to any artistic approach, I don't consider there is a best person who does that as there are many styles to choose from. There are a few whom I appreciate, none is best, but all are good.

—Er du fotogen?

—Only when I don't know I'm being photographed.

—Hvordan blev du en del af fotografiindustrien?

—My passion for portraits has started in high school. At one point it was just the natural course of action.

—Hvad er de vigtigste komponenter i et godt billede efter din mening?

—I believe it is more important the message relayed by the photographer and the way it reaches the audience, rather than how a photo looks.

—Elsker du at rejse?

—Does whiskey taste better as it ages?

—Hvad kan du bedst lide ved dit fag?

—The moment when people I work with look at their portrait I just took and go: "WHOW!"

—Hvad synes du mindre godt om ved dit fag?

—I believe every artist is the most critical person towards themselves. So yes, there are plenty. But if there weren't, we wouldn't evolve and get better.

—Hvad er der specielt ved den fotografigenre, du specialiserer dig i?

—The emotions are real.

—Hvordan håndterer du kritik?

—Depends on who is it coming from and if they have a valid argument or not.

—Er der nogen tendenser inden for fotografering?

—Of course, from shooting style to editing. All are good as the client is happy with the results.

—Hvad bør kriterierne være for en kunde, der skal vælge en fotograf?

—I believe it is very important to have a balance between shooting and editing style, and similar lifestyle values and principles.

—Hvilke detaljer, der som regel går ubemærket hen, vil en fotograf bemærke?

—While most photographers are paying attention to the bride and groom, I also take peaks at the guests to catch a proud smile of the parents, grandma's tears of joy and pure cheekiness of the children attending.

—Hvad påvirker værdien af et foto? Hvilke elementer indeholder det?

—The way it makes the viewer feel.

—Hvilken person kan være symbolet på det 21. århundrede efter din mening?

—Not the Kardashians.

—Hvem ville du gerne fotografere sammen med?

—Joe Buissink and Jerry Ghionis.

—Hvad har været det mest imponerende øjeblik i dit liv?

—I can't say it is a moment, more like a long term experience when I went to study abroad, in France.

—Hvem inspirerer dig i dit liv, og hvorfor?

—I always try today to be a little better than yesterday. For me that is enough.

—Hvordan definerer du succes? Hvordan måler du det?

—I don't think there is a quantifiable method for success. Once we get to whatever moment we believed we could consider ourselves successful, it will change into something else. As long as we strive to be better in life, I believe it is a successful strategy.

—Foretrækker du, at folk kan lide dig, eller at de respekterer dig?

—I think most of us prefer to be accepted as we are, quirks and all without fearing others opinion of ourselves if we do x or y.

—Hvordan uddanner du dig selv til at tage bedre billeder?

—Practice. Practice. Practice.

—Hvis arbejde har haft størst indflydelse på dig som fotograf?

—Daniel Chindea, Joe Buissink, Pie Jyrsa, Jerry Ghionis.

—Hvad er det eneste, du ville ønske, du vidste, da du begyndte at tage billeder?

—Practice before anything else.

—Hvad vil du gerne fortælle med dine fotografier?

—People look beautiful when they let go and just be themselves.

—Hvad motiverer dig til at fortsætte med at tage billeder?

—It's always something new. New people, new relationships, new ways to express emotions.

—Hvis du kunne gå tilbage i tiden, hvad ville du så gøre anderledes?

—Buy Bitcoin. :))

—Hvad med liv på andre planeter?

—Most likely. Not necessarily green little men, but microorganisms, definitely.

—Hvem har du ingen respekt for?

—Most politicians and big corporations who put their bottom line above a better future for all.

—Hvad laver du i din fritid?

—I enjoy going to the movies, watching Netflix and traveling.

—Tror du på de traditionelle mande- og kvinderoller?

—I believe some men are naturally better at some stuff and some women are naturally better at other stuff. Doesn't mean one can't do what the other can.

—Har du let ved at få nye venner?

—Sure..

—Hvor vil du gerne bo?

—Santa Barbara.

—Hvad er det dummeste, du nogensinde har indvilget i at gøre?

—Perform striptease in front some of my friends.. not all the way though. Haha..

—Er der liv efter ægteskabet?

—It's just another chapter of the same book.

—Kan du lide hunde eller katte?

—Cats.

—Det mest irriterende ved livet er:

—Childhood emotional scars we are not even aware of.

—Kan du give et par råd til de fotografer, som lige er startet?

—Don't sell yourself short.

—Hvis du bliver spurgt, om du vil indspille en film, hvilken genre vil det så være?

—I'm a romantic, so probably something Woody Allen-ish.
