Fotograaf Jamie Orndorff

—Ennekõike - keda sa nimetaksid parimaks fotograafiks oma linnas? :)

—If I'm being honest? Hehe...I love the work my husband and I do. We have shot weddings for about three years now so we've had time to refine our style and learn from other amazing photographers...making us the best us we could be!!

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

—My husband says yes. I say meh.

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—I've always found people to be the most interesting subjects. Seeing different expressions and emotions on one's face. When I started photographing people- I realized I loved capturing those expressions. Then I started photographing couples and realized I love capturing LOVE. It's beautiful and real and raw.

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—As an adventurous person- I love a beautiful landscape. Mountains, beaches, cliffs...anything in nature makes a beautiful photo for me.

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—Traveling is basically our life. We've shot in Iceland, Mexico, California, Arizona, Tennessee, and many other incredible places. We love it more than we love tacos.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

—My favorite thing is meeting new people and seeing new places. We have met so many awesome people during our time as photographers and that is an amazing bonus to this job!

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

—...the way my back hurts after shooting a 9 hour wedding day.

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—Hopefully more creative and unique photographers and less typical poses and fake smiles.

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—Weddings are truly a beautiful and special thing in themselves. Being one of the most important days in one's life, there are always many different emotions throughout the day. The wedding photographer has the privilege of getting to capture all of them. It's amazing. A lot of times, it makes US cry!

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

—I always want to be a better photographer, person, wife, etc. Criticism is something difficult to take when given, but keeps me up at night. I definitely think it's needed in order to improve.

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

—Absolutely. Everyone is always trying to find their own style and niche and a lot of times copy others style of work. I say it's best to forget the trends and find your own lane.

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

—Trust and taste are two huge factors. Every person needs to trust their photographer, meaning they need to build a sort of rapport. They should prove that they are able to capture and understand what is important to you. And of course taste- choose a photographer who's work you love! :-)

—Mida pildistades kindlasti ei tohiks teha?

—Over posing. Fake smiles. Messy backgrounds.

—Mis võiksid olla need detailid, millele tavaliselt tähelepanu ei pöörata, kuid mida fotograaf võib märgata?

—People don't always notice the best light, whereas photographers are chasers of beautiful light. Also little things- such as leading lines and unique spots that may look ordinary to the common eye...but look like a fairytale in a photograph.

—Mis teeb fotost väärtusliku? Mis elemendid on olulised?

—The memories that come with the photo, what it can mean to a client. That is everything. Genuine laughs and happy tears captured in a photograph can be so valuable to someone.

—Milline inimene on sinu arvates 21. sajandi sümbol?

—A symbol is different to everyone, we all have different inspirations. For me, I am inspired by Don and Helen, amazing and creative wedding photographers who thrive on the unconventional.

—Keda sa sooviksid pildistada?

—People that are ridiculously, ridiculously, ridiculously in love. ;-)

—Kas sul on teatud ametialaseid tabusid?

—Drinking on the job. Oh well...

—Kellega koos sa tahaksid pildistada?

—Don and Helen. Chris Burkard. There are some talented people out there.

—Mille pärast sa muretsed ja miks?

—I usually worry about everything when I'm on a plane. Nothing a little wine can't fix. Other than that, I don't worry too much. What's the point?

—Mis on olnud su elu kõige kõige muljetavaldavam hetk?

—I will never forget standing under the northern lights in Iceland. Honestly, creation is the most outstanding thing in the world. I was breathless and speechless.

—Kui sa oleksid tegelane multikast, raamatust või filmist, siis kes sa oleksid ja miks?

—I think I would be Jess from New Girl. We have the same taste in style and are quirky by nature. Also I totally copied her bangs.

—Kes sind su elus inspireerib ja miks?

—My husband definitely inspires me. He is so creative and down to earth and smart and kind. If everyone were like him, the earth would ROCK.

—Kuidas sa defineeriksid edu? Kuidas sa seda mõõdad?

—True success, I believe, is measured by happiness. If you are happy, you are successful. Simple as that!

—Kas sa tahaksid, et sa pigem meeldiksid inimestele või et nad austaksid sind?

—Can't I have both? Haha...I guess I would say respected. Because people that like you may not like you the next day. If you're respected once, likely you'll be respected a long time.

—Mis on suurim viga, mida sa töötades oled teinud?

—I used to work for a makeup company, and one time I messed up at inventory. All the numbers were wrong and we had to do it again...6 hours of work.

—Mida sa endaga reisides kaasa võtad ja miks?

—Obviously, I always take my camera gear. Ha ha.

—Kas sul on mõni vidin, mida sa omad, aga sooviksid, et poleks ostnud? Miks?

—Nothing that I can think of...

—Kuidas sa ennast koolitad, et paremaks fotograafiks saada?

—The best way to do this is to always be taking pictures. Whether it's with my professional gear or my iphone, I am always taking pictures and learning about light and composition

—Kelle töö on sind kui fotograafi kõige rohkem mõjutanud?

—Like I mentioned before, Don and Helen have influenced me the most. I love how they just don't fit in with any cliches. They see things the rest of the world is blind to. It's a beautiful thing.

—Mis oleks see üks asi, mida sa sooviksid, et oleks teadnud enne fotograafiaga alustamist?

—I wish I knew to take photos in RAW format...not jpeg. Hahaha...

—Mida sa oma fotodega öelda soovid?

—I want them to show genuine emotions and love. Everything must be real.

—Mis motiveerib sind fotograafina jätkama?

—One of my favorite things to do is meet with other photographers and find out why they started photography, what keeps them going, what their favorite aspects are about it, etc. We did that recently with some amazing people and it really inspired us and motivated us to push ourselves harder to really give our best.

—Kas sa arvad, et sinu vanemad oleksid pidanud sinuga olema rangemad või leebemad?

—Hmm... I'd say less. Hehe. But I never got in too much trouble so I guess that's a good thing, right?

—Kui sa saaksid ajas tagasi minna, mida sa teeksid erinevalt?

—I would not have cut my bangs myself. Not good.

—Kas sa arvad, et teistel planeetidel on elu?

—We'll have to go explore and find out won't we???

—Kes on su kangelased?

—My husband.

—Keda sa ei austa?

—I have no respect for selfish and proud people. We all live on the same beautiful earth and we should be giving and display humility in all we do.

—Mida sa vabal ajal teed?

—Apparently I complete long interviews about my life, as I'm doing right now. But also, I mostly take photos and cuddle with my dog. Seriously, my dog is sooooo cute.

—Millist poolt sinust avalikkus kunagi ei näe?

—Woah...perhaps the sheer amount of ice cream that I consume. I will forever love Ben and Jerry's.

—Millal sa oled oma tööga täiesti rahul?

—When I make my clients happy cry. That is my biggest satisfaction, because I have done my job correctly.

—Kas sa usud meeste ja naiste traditsioonilistesse rollidesse?

—I believe everyone has their own mind, their own conscience, and can do whatever they want to do.

—Kas sa leiad kergesti sõpru?

—I am an INFJ. I am introspective, and very observant. When people realize that I'm not bored and am actually just observing them and getting to know them, then we can develop a close bond.

—Kus sa tahaksid elada?

—Without hesitation I can say one day I would love to live in Iceland! We have been twice and we are so in love. It is beautiful and cold and everything I would ever want!

—Mis on kõige rumalam asi, mida sa kunagi oled nõustunud tegema?

—I would have to say...draw tattoos on myself from head to toe with a permanent marker. Yes, you can shake your head...it was very, very stupid.

—Kas pärast abielu on elu?

—YES! I am married and my life is great. Traveling wedding photographers. What could be better?

—Kas sul on lemmiknali? Räägi see meile.

—"Why did the cow cross the road?"
"To get to the utter side."
I LOVE COW JOKES!

—Kas sulle meeldivad koerad või kassid?

—DOGS. I love cats too. But I am literally obsessed with dogs.

—Keda või mida sa vihkad?

—I hate violence, rude people and meat. Yes, I'm a vegetarian.

—Parim asi elus on:

—Dogs. Ice cream. Duh.

—Kõige ärritavam asi elus on:

—The alarm going off before 8am.

—Kas sa näed oma ümber midagi sellist, mida sa tahaksid muuta?

—If I could change other people's attitudes to make everyone friendly, I would probably change that. But from where I stand, no changes needed.

—Mida sa iseenda juures tahaksid muuta?

—Hmm...I would like to have more patience. I'm just not a patient person but I think it's a great quality to have.

—Mida sa maailmas tahaksid muuta?

—I would like there to be no more animal shelters. All animals have a home and happiness, that is ideal.

—Kas sa võiksid anda mõned näpunäited alustavatele fotograafidele?

—Yes! Be a part of the community and get creative with your work. Don't try to just copy others and become popular. When you find your own style, stick with it and people will see that it's original.

—Kui Maale saabuksid tulnukad ja sina oleksid esimene inimene, keda nad kohtaksid, mida sa neile ütleksid?

—Can I take your picture?

—Kui sul oleks võimalik vändata film, siis mis žanrist see oleks?

—Psychological thriller, for sure. I love that freaky stuff.

—Homme hakkan ma...

—Swimming with whale sharks! I CAN'T WAIT! This will be my second time and it's incredible!
