Fotograf Anne Ling

—Wie sind sind zur Fotografiebranche gekommen?

—My way in photography started 10 years ago with editorial and fashion. But I've always admired real people and real emotions much more. So that's how I've started documenting weddings and other important life moments in different countries.

—Reisen Sie gern?

—I'm a passionate traveller. I've already been to 39 countries and I'm really happy that my work is international.

—Was das Besondere an dem Fotografiegenre, auf das Sie sich spezialisiert haben?

—Wedding photography combines documentary and fine art photography. So being a professional in both is crucial.

—Was beeinflusst den Wert eines Fotos? Welche Elemente sind wichtig?

—Time influences the value of a photo the most. Photos are like good wine – the older the better. While capturing a wedding I always keep in mind that this photos will keep the memories through the years.

—Gibt es für Sie in Ihrem Beruf Tabus?

—I never photograph people in embarrassing situation or angle.

—Welche Arbeiten haben Sie als Fotografen am meisten beeindruckt?

—I've studied fine arts since childhood. So all the great painters, photographers, film directors influenced me a lot.

—Was möchten Sie mit Ihren Fotos zum Ausdruck bringen?

—That it is much more important to collect feelings not things. Nothing will be more valuable for you through the years than a teardrop on your mother's cheek or a sincere hug of your best friend or a picture of you two standing on the edge of the earth holding hands and looking to each other's eyes.

—Was motiviert Sie weiterzumachen?

—My clients, of course. When I send them their photos and receive an answer: "We are totally in love with our photos! Thank you so much, Anne!!!"
In such moments I feel absolutely happy!
