Josh Jones fotós

—Ön fotogén?

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

—Hogyan csöppent a fényképezés világába?

—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.

—Véleménye szerint mik egy jó fotó legfontosabb elemei?

—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.

—Szeret utazni?

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

—Mi szeret szakmájában a legjobban?

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

—Mi szeret szakmájában a legkevésbé?

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

—Milyen lesz a fotózás jövője?

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

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

—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.

—Hogyan bírja a kritikát?

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

—Észlelhetők tendenciák a fotózásban?

—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.

—Mi aggasztja és miért?

—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.

—A szeretetet vagy az elismerést igényli jobban?

—Respected.

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

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

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

—Susan Stripling.

—Mivel foglalkozik szabad idejében?

—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.

—Mikor teljességgel elégedett munkájával?

—Never.

—Hol szeretne élni?

—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!
