Fiona Walsh fotós

—Hogyan csöppent a fényképezés világába?

—I'd just finished my degree in Psychology and was looking for a job. It was just my fate that jobs were hard to come by as it made me look at doing something I was already enjoying as a hobby – photography. I started to explore the business side of getting it up and running, and was so grateful at my first yes to a request to shadow another photographer. I was hooked from my first wedding.

—Véleménye szerint mik egy jó fotó legfontosabb elemei?

—Composition, expression, and light I would say. I love creating compositions and lighting effects in the frame and doing something different. But technicalities aside, the moment/the meaning is a pretty important component that makes up a good photo.

—Szeret utazni?

—I adore traveling. It shows me what else is going on in the world, I get to see moments between people, I get to see beautiful landscapes. traveling brings opportunity.

—Mi szeret szakmájában a legjobban?

—Stepping into a couples lives for just one day and being able to capture their connection. Hearing their joy when they see the images, showing them just how amazing they are.
I get so excited with couples in landscapes, especially sunsets. It feels as though the colours around them are putting on a show, a reflection of their emotions.

—Mi szeret szakmájában a legkevésbé?

—All the days in the office doing post production work takes me away from people, so it can be a little isolating at times.

—Milyen lesz a fotózás jövője?

—There's an interesting question, i was pondering this the other day. Who knows! Guests will probably have phone cameras with capabilities of my DSLR! But, there will always be a need for a wedding photographer. We see beyond what our eyes show us and give them something special; their story.

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

—Turning their emotions into a physical image they can look at, helping them feel closer to their most personal and meaningful feelings.

—Hogyan bírja a kritikát?

—With patience. I put myself in their shoes to understand where their coming from.

—Észlelhetők tendenciák a fotózásban?

—Sure. There are trends that come and go all the time. Trends in editing, trends in light effects, trends for capturing moments, capturing the natural behaviours of people around us, and maybe putting a different spin on how that's captured.

—Mi alapján kellene kiválasztaniuk az ügyfeleknek a fotóst?

—Rapport. The photographer will be so close to them all day long, so they must feel comfortable and trust in the photographer.
I think they should look for someone with experience, with imagination, with patience, with passion for their wedding, and good editing skills! though i guess that last one is subjective!

—Mi az, ami a fényképezés során teljességgel megengedhetetlen?

—sometimes the officiant will prefer us not to photograph them when they are signing the register.
There isn't anything more that is specifically not allowed, it's just a matter of being delicate and knowing when and when not to shoot something.

—Milyen általában észrevétlen részletek ragadhatják meg egy fotós figyelmét?

—Technically, the way the light can fall on a person and enhance that moment. Same goes for the environment, such as reflections or a background that would complimentary.
Emotionally, we are part of their relationship in a closer way than a guest would. For some part of the day it is just us 3, so photographers get to witness a raw beauty in the way they love each other.

—Mitől válik értékessé egy fotó? Mik az elemei?

—Someone experiencing a moment that makes them feel so loved and so worthy.
Technically I love to use shallow depth of fields to make the image soft. I think this can add to the emotional value of a photo.
Beautiful landscapes, and architecture/patterns can influence the value too. So much can though!

—Van valamilyen szakmai tabuja?

—Nope

—Kivel szeretne lefényképezkedni?

—It would be fab to shoot with Two Mann Studios, and Ross Harvey!

—Mi aggasztja és miért?

—Nothing really.

—Mi élete legnagyszerűbb mozzanata?

—Walking on hot goal (or is that the craziest?!)
Meeting and photographing Bill Clinton was pretty fun.Getting married felt pretty impressive, couldn't have felt any happier or want to be anywhere else.

—Ki van életére ihlető hatással és miért?

—All the photographers being fearless to be creative and bring us and the couple a new way of seeing things.Tony Robbins is pretty awesome. Sly Stallone's story of his determination and belief that he will be an actor in the movies is an inspiring one.

—Hogyan határozná meg a sikert? Mi a mércéje?

—hmmm, well I think a person is successful is they're happy.With weddings, I'd say a wedding is a success if the couple love their images.

—A szeretetet vagy az elismerést igényli jobban?

—Respected I guess. Feeling a sense of respect can affect your self esteem differently to feeling liked.

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

—Thankfully, and touch wood, there aren't any big ones. I just always aim to learn from each wedding. e,g., there are little ones like making sure batteries are new and such, cards are close by in reach, surveying the area to know where to stand during the ceremony etc. Once I was photographing a ceremony outdoors in gravel. Every step I took was loud and crunchy!

—Hova készül utazni, mit visz magával és miért?

—The camera is going to be a must, of course.Then:
Music! Because it enhances experiences. I even have an underwater mp3 player.

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

—no.

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

—Stay in touch with photographers, go on courses. Always look at what the light source is. Look for patterns and shadows.
Take my photos, finish, but then ask myself how else can I take this photo, how would someone else take this photo?

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

—Two Mann and Ross Harvey.

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

—the environment can be used to your advantage, no matter what it is.Have down right pure belief in yourself.

—Mit kíván fényképeivel közölni?

—Look how beautiful life is. Soak in it.

—Mi motiválja, hogy tovább fotózzon?

—To show people what life is like is you look out for it! It's beautiful, it's colourful, it's meaningful, it's fun.
Giving people life long memories in my images.

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

—neither

—Ha visszatérhetne az időben, mit tenne másképp?

—I wouldn't like to think about that. I don't believe in regret. You do what you do in that moment with the resources you have.
I believe in learning from each experience, moving forward and living in the now.

—Mi a véleménye a más bolygókon való életről?

—lol these are funny questions. Sure, I think there is life on other planets.

—Kiket tart a hőseinek?

—No heroes so to speak. lots of people who mean a lot to me, others that have inspired me.

—Ki az, akit nem tud elismerni?

—Those who are mentally and physically cruel to people and animals.

—Mivel foglalkozik szabad idejében?

—Exploring landscapes with my camera, and watch movies.

—Mely oldaláról nem ismeri a nyilvánosság?

—If you knew that there wouldn't be a side anymore :)

—Mikor teljességgel elégedett munkájával?

—When all the elements come together in a photo to make it so satisfying. When creative ideas pan out. There's never a complete moment though or in that case I wouldn't be looking to better my work. I always want to grow.

—Hisz a férfiak és nők hagyományos szerepében?

—Not really.

—Könnyen barátkozik?

—Yep, I'm so happy to have made friends at weddings whom I've never met before. I love the stories I learn about peoples lives after a wedding.

—Hol szeretne élni?

—italy or australia.

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