Fotograaf Tom Wishart

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

—I'd have to put my hand on heart and name Murray and Myself as the best wedding photographers in Swanage

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

—Oh hell no, but the more time I spend in front of the camera the better I am at having my photograph taken

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—I am the son of a photography teacher, discovering my passion for photography and playing with pinhole cameras at the age of three. He was then trained as a photojournalist and found that shooting weddings were my ideal creative outlet. As a wedding photographer I can combine so many different aspects and techniques into my work. I have since developed a passion for capturing people’s natural characters and emotions as well as incorporating experimental photographic techniques into my wedding photography.

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—Capturing the true emotion of the moment and conveying it well. If i can produce an image that required looking at more than once to understand it I am happy.

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—Absolutely, I have spent time travelling around Europe, South America, North America and Australia burning through film and memory cards like there was no tomorrow.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

—Meeting brides and grooms and being a part of their wonderful weddings. Also being able to work with one of my best friends to create something we are both passionate about.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

—The incredibly long and sometimes unsocial hours spent working on images

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—I think the standards of wedding photography will continue to steadily improve as those at the top of their game differentiate themselves from the crowd. I also believe that available technology will have a major impact on the way we work and the equipment we work with.

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—The conveyance of real emotion and the ability to take someone back to the feeling of a certain time and place with an image.

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

—As a tool to improve

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

—Always, but I believe in keeping them at a considered arms length. I think wedding photography should be timeless, god forbid any of my clients look back at their images and think they look dated.

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

—The quality and style of the images should match the couples requirements but as equally important they should get along like a house on fire. After all we are the only suppliers with a bride and groom for their entire day

—Mida pildistades kindlasti ei tohiks teha?

—Interrupting and obtruding the natural flow of a wedding day

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

—So many things; relevant little details, unusual compositions, the best of light and colour

—Mis teeb fotost väärtusliku? Mis elemendid on olulised?

—How long is a piece of string? Virtually everything influences the value of a photograph and its elements.

—Milline inimene on sinu arvates 21. sajandi sümbol?

—I don't think any single person can be a symbol for a 100 year period

—Keda sa sooviksid pildistada?

—Pretty much everything, particularly things that others wouldn't regard as photo worthy when they really are

—Kas sul on teatud ametialaseid tabusid?

—Nope

—Kellega koos sa tahaksid pildistada?

—Murray- and I do!

—Mille pärast sa muretsed ja miks?

—Not a lot- I'm a pretty happy go lucky kinda guy

—Mis on olnud su elu kõige kõige muljetavaldavam hetk?

—Witnessing the birth of my children – there's no way I could have achieved that!

—Kes sind su elus inspireerib ja miks?

—A multitude of things and people, but mainly being in the outdoor and nature

—Kuidas sa defineeriksid edu? Kuidas sa seda mõõdad?

—By happiness and how much i feel

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

—A or B – surely it's A and B

—Kuidas sa ennast koolitad, et paremaks fotograafiks saada?

—With constant research, learning, experimentation and collaboration

—Kelle töö on sind kui fotograafi kõige rohkem mõjutanud?

—Bill Brandt, Andreas Gursky, Cartier-Bresson, my mother, Martin Parr, Murray Lambert

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

—How to run a business

—Mis motiveerib sind fotograafina jätkama?

—The joy I feel creating and delivering them

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

—Parim asi elus on:

—working for yourself

—Kõige ärritavam asi elus on:

—working for yourself

—Kas sa võiksid anda mõned näpunäited alustavatele fotograafidele?

—Learn from others mistakes and seek guidance from those with expertise and experience

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

—We are mostly harmless

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

—Anything but horror (I have an overactive imagination)
