Fotograaf Nat Wongsaroj

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

—Well, I usually like to stay behind the camera but occasionally I love being in front of the camera too!

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—Like many other photographers, I started as a hobbyist and then I started buying some expensive gears. One day, my wife told me that I should do something about it... The rest is history!

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—Composition, lighting and storying-telling quality of the photographs!

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—Of course, who doesn't? I recently visited Iceland, Scotland, England, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Greece, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti and many other amazing places!

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

—Being able to do what I love and also make people smile (or maybe cry?) when they see my photos!

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

—Editing photos? Just kidding! I actually do love editing wedding photos, just not all of them at the same time! ;)

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—We will be using smart drones for OCF, we will have nano light with 2,400 Watt-seconds power that can last a month without recharging and we will be shooting with ISO 429,4967,296 without any noticeable noise.Oh wait, can I just get iPhone 's battery that last the full day first?

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—Creating photographs that my clients will treasure for a very long long time.

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

—gracefully, maybe? At least, I will try!

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

—I don't really follow trend, I just do what I love and hopefully my clients will love them do. There are a lot of light and airy images floating around Pinterest and Film Photographer seem to be the cool kids. I do love light and airy images as much as dark and dramatic images. While I used to spend significant amount of my time in the dark room processing black and white films, I am a practical guy and I don't think that film is practical and you can't really burst continuously to capture the moments using film!

—Composition, lighting and story telling aspect of the photographs.

—Milline inimene on sinu arvates 21. sajandi sümbol?

—Steve Jobs, Barrack Obama, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, Elon Musk, Michael Bloomberg, Marc Jacobs, Jon Steward, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon, Christopher Nolan, Roger Federer, Oprah Winfrey, Will Smith, LeBron James, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Dan Harmon, Vince Gilligan, Osama Bin Laden, Danger Mouse, Pope Francis, Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking, Kim Jong Il, Salman Kahn, Lakshmi Mittal, Vladmir Putin, J.K.
