Fotograaf Jason Clavey

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

—There are a lot of great photographers in Ayia Napa... A lot of bad ones too! I couldn't pick 1 best but I could pick a handfull!

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

—I don't believe so! It's why I prefer to be on the other side of the camera!

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—I started out as a nightlife photographer. I was asked to do a few family weddings, then a few friend's weddings and then I bit the bullet and decided to go full time!

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—There are far too many elements that make a good photo! but the two at the top of my rule book are lighting and composition. If you can master those then the rest follows!

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—I LOVE travelling. I just don't get to do much of it! haha

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

—Client's reactions when they see the photos. It's one of the best "Feel Good" moments in a photographer's career!

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

—'Scuse my language... but the b*tchiness... between other photographers. At the end of the day business is business. but some people will go to great lengths to put others down. It's not great.

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—on an iPhone.

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—It's fast paced, spontaneous at times and you need to be versatile with your ability to shoot in ANY situation!

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

—I grow from it.

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

—Of course! but as photographers we try to do things differently.

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

—PHOTOS! forget about price for a minute. this is the single most important part of your day that you will have for generations! research your photographer and make sure they are up to the standard you want!

—Mida pildistades kindlasti ei tohiks teha?

—Having uncle bob standing in front of me during the first kiss taking a photo on his iphone

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

—Emotions.

—Mis teeb fotost väärtusliku? Mis elemendid on olulised?

—a photo that tells a story, or shows an emotion which can trigger a memory. those are the best.

—Milline inimene on sinu arvates 21. sajandi sümbol?

—I couldn't name one. but they are all artists!

—Keda sa sooviksid pildistada?

—I'd love to shoot a royal wedding. purely for the criticism of the photos.

—Kas sul on teatud ametialaseid tabusid?

—In this day and age, anything goes in photography.

—Kellega koos sa tahaksid pildistada?

—Someone with a lot of character

—Mille pärast sa muretsed ja miks?

—I try not to worry about things. Worrying never helps situations, try to think positively!

—Mis on olnud su elu kõige kõige muljetavaldavam hetk?

—Moving my life to Cyprus. If I stayed in the UK I wouldn't be who I am today.

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

—I'd love to have the creative abilities of August Rush

—Kes sind su elus inspireerib ja miks?

—My dad. He always supported me with any choice in life. He never pushed my to get a "real job" and he supported my education choices musically and photographically.

—Kuidas sa defineeriksid edu? Kuidas sa seda mõõdad?

—Success to me is looking back and seeing how far you have come.

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

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

—Not becoming a wedding photographer sooner!

—Mida sa endaga reisides kaasa võtad ja miks?

—My camera of course! To keep those amazing memories!

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

—I'm a geek! I love devices and I don't regret any of my purchases!

—Kuidas sa ennast koolitad, et paremaks fotograafiks saada?

—I am always looking back on my work and trying to find ways to improve. What could I have done differently which would have made that photo better.

—Kelle töö on sind kui fotograafi kõige rohkem mõjutanud?

—I've always loved Annie Leibovitz's work. Ever since I started photography!

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

—How much money it costs to be a photographer!

—Mida sa oma fotodega öelda soovid?

—Natural moments are the best. don't try to be something you're not, let the picture tell the true story.

—Mis motiveerib sind fotograafina jätkama?

—Like I said before, the reaction of my clients when I deliver the photos. the smiles on their faces and the amazing comments and reviews they leave me on my website. As long as that keeps happening, I will continue shooting.

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

—My parents were great! I was always creative as a child. I played music since I was 5. I was playing in 6 different bands when I was 14. and I was the principal of percussion in an orchestra when I was 16. My parents supported my creativity, and my music! I wouldn't be doing what I do if it wasn't for their support!

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

—I would probably keep my music and photography more balanced. I feel now I am more involved with photography and my music is taking a back seat for now.

—Kas sa arvad, et teistel planeetidel on elu?

—for sure!

—Kes on su kangelased?

—My family and friends. I can't respect anyone more than them!

—Listening to music, sight seeing and a good movie now and again.

—Millist poolt sinust avalikkus kunagi ei näe?

—my soft side.

—Millal sa oled oma tööga täiesti rahul?

—I'm never 100% satisfied. I'm always looking for ways to improve. I don't know if that's a good thing or bad!

—Kas sa usud meeste ja naiste traditsioonilistesse rollidesse?

—I believe in equality. If you think you can do something nobody should have the right to say no.

—Kas sa leiad kergesti sõpru?

—I try to, I believe it's better to make friends than enemies.

—Kus sa tahaksid elada?

—Probably somewhere closer to my family but with weather like Cyprus.

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

—Kas pärast abielu on elu?

—of course!

—Kas sul on lemmiknali? Räägi see meile.
