Interjú

  • Mindenekelőtt - ki a legjobb fotós Montréal, Kanada városában? : )

    Excluding myself, I admire the work of a lot of talented photographers globally. In Montreal: Brent Calis, Laura Regev, Ella Mack & Micheal Beaulieu are some of my favorites. In Ottawa: Agatha Rowland, Joel & Justyna, Rubicon and Age of Indie.

  • Ön fotogén?

    At the right angles and if I'm not being a goof... yes.

  • Hogyan csöppent a fényképezés világába?

    My mother is a painter, my step-father a theatrical and architectural lighting designer. I was surrounded by art, artists, and so forth my entire life. My mother's best friend is a professional photographer and I remember taking my first "real" photograph at 8 years old with my mother's Olympus Rangefinder. Even then... it was a very circuitous route, even after I got my BFA in Photography at Concordia. But I am very certain of my path now that I found it.

  • Véleménye szerint mik egy jó fotó legfontosabb elemei?

    Light is the most important — then composition. After that comes artistry and understanding how your settings can capture moments that evoke how they felt. Sharpness and bright lighting are over-rated and feel unnatural to me a lot of the time.

  • Szeret utazni?

    Yes. Adore it. One of my favorite trips that I ever took was to Nicaragua. We go to Ireland (at least prior to the pandemic) yearly because my husband is from there. The last place we traveled to prior to the pandemic was Mexico.

  • Mi szeret szakmájában a legjobban?

    I love that what I do captures some of the most important moments of a clients' lifetime and that the history of that photo will shift over time to mean different things. I know how valuable my family photo albums have been for me and that's my driving force for every wedding I photograph.

  • Mi szeret szakmájában a legkevésbé?

    I'm a workaholic, it's hard to turn my brain off and find balance, being passionate about my craft verges on obsessive. It's important to hit pause, look back and appreciate work that I have done and so I've learned to do this — rest is equally important to make good work.

  • Milyen lesz a fotózás jövője?

    Just like anything else, it will evolve and yet it's essence will remain the same.

  • Mi a különleges abban a fotózási műfajban, amelyik az Ön szakterülete?

    I'm not sure I understand this question.

  • Hogyan bírja a kritikát?

    I went to art school where our work was critiqued daily — so I am open to it and frankly wish I heard it more often now in my professional life. It's important to get external feedback in order to grow. That said, I am probably my own worst critic.

  • Észlelhetők tendenciák a fotózásban?

    Lots of them. A lot of photographers buy presets and apply them to their work – I find this makes their work all look the same. The standouts always have a strong sense of color, light, composition and a connection with their subjects.

  • Mi alapján kellene kiválasztaniuk az ügyfeleknek a fotóst?

    Connect with the work and the photographer.
    Ask for full galleries.

  • Mi az, ami a fényképezés során teljességgel megengedhetetlen?

    Too much posing, going to "hotspots", shotlists that are formulaic to wedding pinterest boards.

  • Milyen általában észrevétlen részletek ragadhatják meg egy fotós figyelmét?

    It's the in between stuff. For instance — this summer I photographed a wedding where I did a giant group photo of all that attended. Once the group dispersed the bride & groom each took a big swig of their drinks in hand (which I took a photo of) and then each realized that it was too big (which I also took a photo of) — this sequence brought a lot of joy to all of us later.

  • Mitől válik értékessé egy fotó? Mik az elemei?

    Emotion, Light, Artistry.

  • Véleménye szerint ki lehetne a 21. század szimbóluma?

    I have no answer for that!

  • Mit kíván megörökíteni?

    Anyone who wants me to.

  • Van valamilyen szakmai tabuja?

    I don't think so?

  • Kivel szeretne lefényképezkedni?

    Erik Madigan Heck; Annie Liebovitz; Roger Deacon; Joel & Justyna; Samm Blake; Leann Weston; John Dolan; Cinzia Bruschini; Sarah Falugo; Corbin Gurkin; Danijela Gorley; Thierry Joubert; & Jamie Beck

  • Mi aggasztja és miért?

    Equipment functionality – having something breakdown in a wedding is possible and you need backup strategies in place
    Data Storage – you need a lot of storage and backups in place when working on photographs, losing something would be horrible
    Money – who doesn't worry about this?
    Health – it's very important to my wellbeing and my job

  • Mi élete legnagyszerűbb mozzanata?

    Giving birth to my babies

  • Ha rajzfilmfigura, irodalmi alak vagy moziszereplő lehetne, kit választana és miért?

    A lot people liken me to a cross between Tina Fey, Elaine Benes, Winona Ryder and Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

  • Ki van életére ihlető hatással és miért?

    That's too hard to define. I am inspired by a lot of things – art, comedy, movies, friends, family, landscapes etc.

  • Hogyan határozná meg a sikert? Mi a mércéje?

    Good sleep, peace of mind. Someday living by the ocean.

  • A szeretetet vagy az elismerést igényli jobban?

    Respected. Too hard to make everyone like you – and I am not sure I'd want everyone to like me.

  • Mi volt a legnagyobb hiba, amelyet munkája során elkövetett?

    Underselling myself. Doing a lot of work for too little. Not noticing "red flag" clients — I've learned the signs and avoid these types now. A word of advice: don't go into meetings with photographers assuming we're trying to "rip you off".

  • Hova készül utazni, mit visz magával és miért?

    My camera, my kindle, and a lot of earrings and shoes.

  • Van a tulajdonában lévő kacatok közt olyasmi, aminek a megvásárlását megbánta? Miért?

    That's a constant thing — right now I am considering selling the only zoom lens I have. I never use it. I also have too much lighting equipment I never use.

  • Hogyan fejleszti magát, hogy egyre jobb képek kerüljenek ki a kezei alól?

    I have a degree in film photography, but now I take online courses through Creative Live; Masterclass; Youtube and so on — sometimes it's photography or business related, but other times it's just something I am interested in. I'm convinced that external interests influence your work in a lot of beneficial ways.

  • Kinek a munkája volt a legnagyobb hatással az fotós pályafutására?

    Showing up everyday to do it.

  • Mi az, amit szeretné, ha tudott volna fotós pályafutása kezdetén?

    Patience.

  • Mit kíván fényképeivel közölni?

    I want them to be evocative of the moment.

  • Mi motiválja, hogy tovább fotózzon?

    My pleasure in taking them.

  • Hogy érzi, szülei szigorúbbak vagy kevésbé szigorúak lehettek volna inkább?

    Less strict.

  • Ha visszatérhetne az időben, mit tenne másképp?

    I would not have strapped some lighting equipment with a bungee cord. It's a very long story.

  • Mi a véleménye a más bolygókon való életről?

    It's there probably?

  • Kiket tart a hőseinek?

    My Mom; My husband & kids; and then a lot of other artists, writers, comedians, politicians, scientists and so forth.

  • Ki az, akit nem tud elismerni?

    I don't think it's a Who, but rather personality traits: those who feel entitled; who are not open to listening/do no ask questions; choose fear.

  • Mivel foglalkozik szabad idejében?

    Improv; Kitchen Dancing; Reading; Running

  • Mely oldaláról nem ismeri a nyilvánosság?

    I can be hyper-focused in a way that's detrimental to life balance; I talk to my cat like he's a real person; I need hugs

  • Mikor teljességgel elégedett munkájával?

    Generally right after shooting and the initial edit. Before my critical brain starts to micro-inspect and take over in the edit.

  • Hisz a férfiak és nők hagyományos szerepében?

    No

  • Könnyen barátkozik?

    Yes

  • Hol szeretne élni?

    I'm going to retire someday and live along some rough coastline either in Eastern Canada, Ireland, or the South of France.

  • Mi volt a legnagyobb szamárság, amelyre hagyta magát rábeszélni?

    A coffee drinking challenge one night when I was a waitress in a diner in Banff. There was a snow storm and we were young, stupid and bored. I ended up calling poison control because "I won" the competition and boy did that feel bad.

  • Van élet a házasság után?

    Yes, it's pretty good too. I won't lie — it's work — but I would take this over a lot of connections without depth.

  • Van kedvenc vicce? Mondja el.

    Too many. I am a comedy nerd/junkie. My best friend is a standup comedian and in school I used to drop in to the club on Open Mic nights to watch my friends tell jokes.

  • A kutyákat, vagy a macskákat kedveli inkább?

    I like both, but I have a cat named Steve.

  • Kit, vagy mit gyűlöl?

    Too complicated to answer.

  • A legjobb dolog az életben:

    good food, laughter, sleep, the water, sunsets, fresh air, snuggles.

  • A legbosszantóbb dolog az életben:

    noises like chewing?

  • Van a környezetében valami, amin változtatni szeretne?

    I mean, yes. But hey, life is a process.

  • Mit szeretne megváltoztatni önmagában?

    A lot of things, like I said, life is a process — and I have learned recently that accepting myself is just as important to changing.

  • Mit szeretne megváltoztatni a világon?

    Fast fashion; greed; hustle culture; the direction of the climate

  • Tudna néhány tanácsot adni a kezdő fotósoknak?

    Show up everyday, take a lot of photographs and edit them. Rinse and repeat. And look at other Art, not just other photographs.

  • Ha idegenek szállnának le a földön, és Ön lenne az első, akivel találkoznának, mit mondana nekik?

    Hello? I haven't given this much thought.

  • Ha filmforgatásra kérnék fel, milyen műfajt választana?

    Romantic Drama (think The English Patient)

  • Holnap fogok...

    Website editing; run; laundry; help my kids with online school
