Valokuvaaja Ella Mack

—Mikä on sinusta tärkeintä hyvässä kuvassa?

—Emotion, composition and of course light – soft, beautiful, painterly light.

—Tykkäätkö matkustamisesta?

—Do I ever! Travelling is my favourite pastime. Throughout my career, I have had the immense fortune to photograph weddings near and far. I've also been lucky enough to do a lot of travel photography. You can follow along on my adventures here: www.ellamackphotos.com

—Mistä pidät eniten ammatissasi?

—Meeting new people, learning about their love story, documenting the most precious day of their lives.

—Mitkä yksityiskohdat, jotka yleensä jäävät huomaamatta, valokuvaaja voi tallettaa?

—One of the most special things about being a wedding photographer is capturing those intimate, ephemeral moments. The joy of turning these moments into tangible memories as I deliver a wedding album is unparalleled.

—Mikä vaikuttaa kuvan arvoon? Mikä kuvissa on tärkeintä?

—The value of a photo is the emotion that that image encapsulates.

—Kuka sinua on inspiroinut elämässäsi ja miksi?

—I draw so much inspiration from the great painters of the renaissance era. The way they treated light and shadow it breathtaking and is something that I try to emulate in my own work.

—Miten ja millä perusteella määrittelisit menestyksen?

—I don't care to define success, but I believe it can be measured in contentment.

—Kun lähdet matkalle, mitä otat mukaasi ja miksi?

—My cameras and my passport ;).

—Miten opettelet ottamaan parempia kuvia?

—I draw my inspiration from all aspects of the world around me. I'm endlessly inspired by the rich world of fine art paintings. Equally, I study the Magnum photography greats and await the World Press Photo Exhibition each year with bated breath. These all tie into my primary inspiration at the centre of my work: you and your love.
