फोटोग्राफर Josh Jones

—क्या आप फ़ोटोजेनिक हैं?

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

—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.

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

—A moment. For sure. If it doesn't have this it's not worth remembering. After that, certainly lighting and composition go a long way.

—क्या आपको यात्रा करना पसंद है?

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

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

—I love that every weekend I get to be a huge part of someone's "most important day of their life."

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

—Crazy church ladies that force me to shoot from 100 feet away in the balcony during the ceremony.

—फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी का क्या भविष्य है?

—More and more instant gratification. A one month turn around average for a wedding will turn into a day.

—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.

—आलोचनाओं को आप किस रूप में लेते हैं?

—I love it. As long as it is constructive it is one of the biggest gifts you can give to me.

—क्या फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी में कोई ट्रेंड चल रहे हैं?

—Always are. Always will be. I think the washed out vintage look is certainly "in style" right now, and I can't wait for it to go away.

—आप किस बारे में चिंतित रहते हैं, और क्यों?

—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.

—पसंद किए जाने की या सम्मान पाने की, आपकी चाहत क्या रहती है?

—Respected.

—आप बेहतर तस्वीरें लेने के लिए अपने आप को कैसे शिक्षित करते हैं?

—Getting out there and shooting. Practice. Practice. Practice. And never stop trying new things.

—एक फ़ोटोग्राफ़र के रूप में आप किसके काम से सबसे अधिक प्रभावित हैं?

—Susan Stripling.

—आप अपने खाली समय में क्या करते हैं?

—I make wine. My wife and I own a small winery and vineyard here in Greenville, SC and love everything from the vines, to the land, to the people that come into our tasting room.

—कब आप अपने काम से पूरी तरह संतुष्ट होते हैं?

—Never.

—आपको कहाँ पर रहना पसंद है?

—Greenville, SC. It is the best place in the world for me and my wife. If it wasn't, I would move. Life is too short to live in a place that isn't best for you and your family!
