Fotograaf Alex Constantinescu

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

—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.

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

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

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

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

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—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.

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—Does whiskey taste better as it ages?

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

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

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

—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.

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—The emotions are real.

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

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

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

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

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

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

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

—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.

—Mis teeb fotost väärtusliku? Mis elemendid on olulised?

—The way it makes the viewer feel.

—Milline inimene on sinu arvates 21. sajandi sümbol?

—Not the Kardashians.

—Kellega koos sa tahaksid pildistada?

—Joe Buissink and Jerry Ghionis.

—Mis on olnud su elu kõige kõige muljetavaldavam hetk?

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

—Kes sind su elus inspireerib ja miks?

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

—Kuidas sa defineeriksid edu? Kuidas sa seda mõõdad?

—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.

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

—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.

—Kuidas sa ennast koolitad, et paremaks fotograafiks saada?

—Practice. Practice. Practice.

—Kelle töö on sind kui fotograafi kõige rohkem mõjutanud?

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

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

—Practice before anything else.

—Mida sa oma fotodega öelda soovid?

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

—Mis motiveerib sind fotograafina jätkama?

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

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

—Buy Bitcoin. :))

—Kas sa arvad, et teistel planeetidel on elu?

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

—Keda sa ei austa?

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

—Mida sa vabal ajal teed?

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

—Kas sa usud meeste ja naiste traditsioonilistesse rollidesse?

—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.

—Kas sa leiad kergesti sõpru?

—Sure..

—Kus sa tahaksid elada?

—Santa Barbara.

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

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

—Kas pärast abielu on elu?

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

—Kas sulle meeldivad koerad või kassid?

—Cats.

—Kõige ärritavam asi elus on:

—Childhood emotional scars we are not even aware of.

—Kas sa võiksid anda mõned näpunäited alustavatele fotograafidele?

—Don't sell yourself short.

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

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