Fotograaf Kathryn Edwards

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

—Well that would be Kathryn Edwards of course! ;-)

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

—Unusually for a photographer I quite like having my picture taken. Although I wouldn't say I am photogenic. I tend to just grin inanely at the camera or pout! haha! My profile picture is a rare photo my photographer friend caught of me off guard. Always the best ones!

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—Quite by accident really. It is a long story. But the short version is – I was 30, and the guest at many weddings that year, and sort of discovered photography during that year. It was a few years later that I decided to give wedding photography a go, and I have never looked back!

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—Number one is the people in the photo looking happy and relaxed. And second (only just!) is the light! I am always seeking out the best light for a photo!

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—I do love travelling and visiting new places yes.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

—The couples I get to meet along the way. I always feel like I work with the best couples! I love getting to know each and every one.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

—All the cake I have to eat. Its terrible for the waist line!

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—Well, I hope it will always be something that is valued but fashions and styles and cameras will always be changing. I have just moved over to mirrorless, which I think is taking over from DSLR. He kit is so much lighter, which is great!

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—he people at the centre of it. He number one thing that makes a wedding are the people there! If you are in love and surrounded by the people you love, then its got to be the most special day ever! And I am truly lucky to get to experience that regularly!

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

—Hmmm... Next!

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

—Yes always! I try to steer clear from trends. But you can't help but look back at your photos, and go, oh that was a thing in 2014 or whatever!! So I guess it is difficult to avoid completely.

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

—Firstly their work. You need to imagine yourself in their photos. Secondly, clicking with them on a personal level. If you can meet or chat to your photographer before you book, you will know if this is someone you want around you all day.

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

—Good light! An unusual backdrop (I am a sucker for a brick wall!) Anything with leading lines or depth of field. Sometimes, it is not always the obvious place to shoot. But if the light is right, I could be perfect.

—Mis teeb fotost väärtusliku? Mis elemendid on olulised?

—Light, natural smiles, good composition.

—Keda sa sooviksid pildistada?

—Michael Stipe and/or Richard E Grant (can I have two?) I am a big Withnail and I fan.
