—Susan Stripling.

—आप फोटोग्राफ़ी इंडस्ट्री में कैसे आए?

—In 2004 I got a digital camera for Christmas, back when digital cameras weren't attached to every device. I was facinated with how you could freeze time, and then view the past later. I couldn't set it down. A few years later I shot my first wedding, fell in love with it and 10 years later have shot over 200.

—क्या आप फ़ोटोजेनिक हैं?

—Sometimes... If I've gotten enough sleep and have a glass of wine or two

—आपकी नज़र में एक अच्छी तस्वीर में सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बातें क्या हैं?

—क्या आपको यात्रा करना पसंद है?

—Absolutely. We have traveled all over the world taking photos!

—I've found that the energy I've wasted in the past on worrying about things was better spent on just doing what I was supposed anyway. No regrets. No fear.

—आप जिस फोटोग्राफी में स्पेश्लाइज़ेशन रखते हैं उसमें क्या खास होता है?

—The father of the bride that has never cried in public before. The look on the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time. The uncle that doesn't normally drink is dancing up a storm on the dance floor.

—सबसे पहले सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात - आप क्रायोवा में सबसे अच्छा फोटोग्राफर किसे कह सकते हैं? :)

—Well, it all depends on who you ask.
What is the best car in the world ? Everyone just sees things differently and especially in photography which is an art in itself, where everything is subjective, ask 10 people this question and probably you will get 11 different answers ! :)

—यदि किसी ग्राहक को फोटोग्राफ़र चुनना हो तो उसे क्या देखना चाहिए?

—If there is one thing I always encourage newlyweds to do when looking for a wedding photographer is to pay very good attention to the portfolios and see which style would suit them and most importantly when meeting a wedding photographer – have him show a full wedding coverage and not get "fooled" by the best 2-3 photos everyone uploads online.

—आप फोटोग्राफ़ी इंडस्ट्री में कैसे आए?

—It was back in 2007 I think ... photography was already a hobby for me and as I already had a "decent" DSLR kit ( by those times' standards ) a friend of mine ( who was a videographer ) asked me to go with him and shoot some christenings. I was scared as hell thinking I have a huge responsibility but everything went well and then I moved to weddings, still shooting for him as I didn't have any portfolio. The next year I started going solo and ... 10 years later here we are.

—क्या आप फ़ोटोजेनिक हैं?

—Never :)

—आपकी नज़र में एक अच्छी तस्वीर में सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बातें क्या हैं?

—Besides the basic technical stuff – composition and message/feeling are by far the key elements of an attractive wedding photograph.

—क्या आपको यात्रा करना पसंद है?

—Sure, who doesn't ?
Although I shot quite a few after wedding session abroad with just the bride and groom, I would love to be able to shoot a full destination wedding sometime.

—अपने पेशे के बारे में आपको सबसे अधिक क्या पसंद है?

—Happiness in the client's eyes when they look at their wedding photos for the first time.

—अपने पेशे के बारे में आपको क्या सबसे कम पसंद है?

—Hmm tough one...
If I'd had to choose, it would probably the fact that I have to refuse some clients that reeeeealy want me as their wedding photographer, because I already booked their wedding date for someone else.

—आलोचनाओं को आप किस रूप में लेते हैं?

—I embrace it – it's the only way we move up the ladder.

—फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी का क्या भविष्य है?

—Probably not much would change – no matter how advanced the cameras will get. A strong and great wedding image from the 50s is still great today so I can only image – the things that bring value to an image will stay constant over time.

—शूटिंग के दौरान किन बातों की बिलकुल अनुमति नहीं होती है?

—Photography is an art – no doubt about that and I find it unacceptable for a client to give the photographer exact and strict examples of they want their wedding images to look like, by bringing photos from other photographers around the world and setting stirct guidelines and boundaries regarding their own images. A photographer should be hired if you liked his own style, not to reproduce someone else's work.
