Photographer Adrian Studiosapte

—First and foremost – whom can you name as the best photographer in Bucharest, Romania? :)

—Eu, fireste! :-)

—Are you photogenic?

—Sigur arat mai bine cand ma privesc in oglinda, totusi am intalnit fotografi care sa ma surprinda chiar si pe mine.

—How did you get in the photography industry?

—Prima data cand am avut contact cu fotografia de nunta a fost in 2007. Mi-a placut atat de mult incat am dezvoltat un brand in jurul fotografiei de nunta, Studio Sapte.
Daca pana in anul 2016 am impartit job-ul din corporatie cu cel de fotograf, dupa ce mi-am dat demisia am devenit fotograf profesionist de nunta cu norma intreaga.

—What are the most important components of a good photo in your opinion?

—Fotografia devine atractiva atunci cand ii trezeste persoanei care o priveste cel putin un minim sentiment.
Lasand la o parte aspectul tehnic si regulile de compozitie, fotografia, ca orice alta forma de arta, devine o chestiune pur personala, deci subiectiva.
Asta imi aduce aminte de o domnisoara, total necunoscuta mie, care, vazundu-mi o fotografie de la o nunta a inceput instantaneu sa planga, spunandu-mi ca asa-si doreste si ea sa aiba fotografiile de la nunta ei.

—Do you love traveling?

—Pentru mine a calatori se traduce cu oportunitatea de a intalni oameni noi, oameni care uneori iti pot schimba perceptia despre tot ceea ce ne inconjoara.
Ador sa calatoresc la fel de mult cum ador sa cunosc, sa invat lucruri noi. Pentru mine este modul continuu de a ma dezovolta si de a ma tine activ.

—What do you like most about your profession?

—Fotografia insasi imi aduce bucurie. Pentru mine fotografia este muzica pentru sufletul meu.

—What do you like least about your profession?

—Nu-mi place sa fiu luat prin surprindere, atunci cand vine vorba de echipament.
De aceea imi intretin echipamentul foto cu mare grija si-l pregatesc cu atentie intotdeauna inaintea unui eveniment: lentile curate, carduri goale, acumulatori incarcati...am chiar un checklist complet in acest sens.

—What will be the future of photography?

—In esenta fotografia de nunta nu se va schimba foarte mult, insa evolutia tehnologica o va ridica pe niste culmi care nu ar fi fost posibile acum cativa ani.

—What is special in the photography genre you specialise at?

—Cred ca fotografia de nunta inglobeaza mai multe genuri de fotografie intr-unul singur: fotoreportaj, fotografie documentara, fotografie de portret, de peisaj, de strada samd.

—How do you handle criticism?

—Ma descurc mult mai bine cu laudele, insa apreciez critica, mai ales critica constructiva. Imi ofera posibilitatea sa reflectez si sa schimb ceea ce cred ca e necesar sa fie schimbat.

—Are there any trends in photography?

—Controlul mult mai facil al luminii datorat evolutiei tehnologice ajuta la crearea unor atmosfere inedite in fotografia de nunta.

—What should be the criteria for a customer to choose a photographer?

—Cred ca mirii ar trebui sa fie atenti la omul din spatele aparatului foto.
Asta inseamna sa intalneasca fotograful care le-a atras atentia, iar daca impreuna rezoneaza inseamna ca fiecare a tras lozul castigator.

—What things are to be avoided when shooting?

—Sa fii nepregatit!

—What details that usually pass unnoticed can a photographer notice?

—Lucrurile "mici" care fac diferenta.

—If you were a cartoon, book or movie character, who would you be and why?

—James Bond

—Who inspires you in your life and why?

—Sotia mea pe care o ador!

—How do you define success? How do you measure it?

—Cand te trezesti dimineata si poti sa o iei de la capat.

—Would you rather be liked or respected?

—Da :-)

—What is the biggest mistake you have ever made at work?

—Mi-am petrecut prea mult timp intr-o corporatie in loc sa fac doar ceea ce-mi place cu adevarat, adica fotografie.

—When you're going to travel, what do you take with you and why?

—Laptop-ul si camera. Pentru ca nu pot trai fara ele.
