फोटोग्राफर Marius Godeanu

—सबसे पहले सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात - आप क्रायोवा, रोमानिया 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 ! :)

—क्या आप फ़ोटोजेनिक हैं?

—Never :)

—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.

—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.

—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.

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

—Wedding photography is different because it actually combines A LOT of other photography genres. A good wedding photographer has to be good at shooting landscapes, portraits, journalism, fashion, architecture, street photography and the list could go on... Probably that's why a great photographer in just any of these genres is not necessary a good wedding photographer.

—आलोचनाओं को आप किस रूप में लेते हैं?

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

—क्या फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी में कोई ट्रेंड चल रहे हैं?

—Sure – as in every other genre – not just photography, but as I said, the things that bring value to a wedding photography will never change regardless of the iso that photograph was taken on, or how many megapixels the camera used has :)

—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.

—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.

—एक फोटोग्राफर ऐसी कौन सी चीजें कैप्चर कर सकता है जो आमतौर पर नज़रों में नहीं आतीं?

—There is an infinite number of things that a wedding photographer could capture.

—फ़ोटो के मूल्य को क्या प्रभावित करता है? इसके तत्व यानी एलीमेंट्स क्या हैं?

—Message, moment, feeling, composition.

—आपकी राय में 21वीं सदी का प्रतीक कौन व्यक्ति हो सकता है?

—I really can't think of anyone – and hey – the 21st century is only at he beginning :)

—आप किसकी तस्वीरें उतारना चाहेंगे?

—Absolutely anybody

—क्या आपका कोई प्रोफ़ेशनल टैबू है यानी पेशे की दृष्टि से कोई वर्जित बातें?

—Selective color.

—क्या आप बिल्कुल नए फ़ोटोग्राफ़रों के लिए कुछ सुझाव दे सकते हैं?

—Never give up !
