Fotógrafo Alex Constantinescu

—En primer lugar, ¿quién puede llamar el mejor fotógrafo en Bucarest, Rumanía? :)

—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.

—¿Es usted fotogénico(a)?

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

—¿Cómo empezó a trabajar en la industria de fotografía?

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

—¿En su opinión, cuáles son los elementos más importantes de una buena fotografía?

—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.

—¿Le gusta viajar?

—Does whiskey taste better as it ages?

—¿Qué le gusta más de su profesión?

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

—¿Qué le gusta menos de su profesión?

—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.

—¿Qué tiene de especial el género fotográfico en que trabaja?

—The emotions are real.

—¿Cómo gestiona las críticas?

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

—¿Existe alguna tendencia en la fotografía?

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

—¿Qué criterios debería tener en cuenta una persona a la hora de elegir a un fotógrafo?

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

—¿Qué detalles que normalmente no tenemos en cuenta puede un fotógrafo captar?

—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.

—¿Qué influye en el valor de una fotografía? ¿Cuáles son sus elementos?

—The way it makes the viewer feel.

—En su opinión, ¿qué persona podría ser un símbolo del siglo XXI?

—Not the Kardashians.

—¿Con quién le gustaría fotografiarse?

—Joe Buissink and Jerry Ghionis.

—¿Cuál ha sido el momento más impactante de su vida?

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

—¿Quién le inspira en su vida y por qué?

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

—¿Cómo definiría el éxito? ¿Cómo lo mide?

—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.

—¿Qué prefiere, gustar o sentirse respetado?

—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.

—¿Cómo se forma para tomar las mejores imágenes?

—Practice. Practice. Practice.

—¿A quién pertenece el trabajo que le ha influenciado más como fotógrafo?

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

—¿Cuál es la única cosa que desearía haber sabido cuando comenzó a tomar fotografías?

—Practice before anything else.

—¿Qué desea decir con sus fotografías?

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

—¿Qué le motiva a continuar tomando imágenes?

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

—¿Si pudiera volver atrás en el tiempo, qué haría de forma diferente?

—Buy Bitcoin. :))

—¿Qué piensa de la vida en otros planetas?

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

—¿Por quién no siente respeto?

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

—¿Qué hace en su tiempo libre?

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

—¿Cree en los roles tradicionales de hombres y mujeres?

—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.

—¿Hace amigos con facilidad?

—Sure..

—¿Dónde le gustaría vivir?

—Santa Barbara.

—¿Cuál es la cosa más estúpida que ha aceptado hacer?

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

—¿Hay vida después del matrimonio?

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

—¿Le gustan los perros o los gatos?

—Cats.

—Lo más molesto de su vida es:

—Childhood emotional scars we are not even aware of.

—¿Podría ofrecer algunos consejos a los fotógrafos que empiezan?

—Don't sell yourself short.

—Si le llamaran como fotógrafo de una película, ¿a qué género pertenecería?

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