Marius Barbulescu fotós

—Ön fotogén?

—​Very rarely! :)

—Hogyan csöppent a fényképezés világába?

—​I was 20 and had a photography class at the University! The moment I shot the first roll of film with a SLR, I was hooked for life! I feel very old at 32 saying I've started photography shooting film.

—Véleménye szerint mik egy jó fotó legfontosabb elemei?

—​To send a message, a feeling or to make you remember things. We’re losing so many good things along the way in our journey through life like innocence, compassion, humanity, sincerity… just to name a few. Kids have them naturally, we’re born rich and most of the people die poor of these.

—Szeret utazni?

—​Yes! I can be on the road 365 days a year, but only if I’m with my family. Home is wherever I’m with them.

—Mi szeret szakmájában a legjobban?

—​
The freedom to organize my life just as I want, the people I meet, the friends I make, the places I visit… I have at least 1000 reasons. Shooting weddings is for me my chance to use everything I experienced personally to create something new every week. Photography is not objective and it's a good thing because it lets us choose how we tell the stories. It's a refuge for me and an act that leaves me with no masks (or very few of them). I'm trying to shoot in a very sincere way.

—Mi szeret szakmájában a legkevésbé?

—​Deadlines! Sometimes it gets frustrating, but I’m getting better and better with them.

—Milyen lesz a fotózás jövője?

—​I have no idea, but I’d love to live it.

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

—​For me it’s the freedom it gives me… I have a license to shoot everyone! And weddings are not just super fun, but also extremely diverse. I love that!

—Hogyan bírja a kritikát?

—​Pretty well because I'm already my own fiercest critique. Nobody can match this! :)

—Észlelhetők tendenciák a fotózásban?

—Of course. But good photography is forever.

—Mi alapján kellene kiválasztaniuk az ügyfeleknek a fotóst?

—​I'd check to see if the work of the photographer I like is consistent, if he blogs every wedding he's shooting and, after a short talk over skype or face to face, if we get along fine.

—Mi az, ami a fényképezés során teljességgel megengedhetetlen?

—​Touching people and being in the center of attention.

—Milyen általában észrevétlen részletek ragadhatják meg egy fotós figyelmét?

—​“Common” people can become excellent photographers with experience. It’s just that good wedding photographers are trained to see more the “in between” moments, small gestures that make all the difference, little stories within bigger ones.

—Mitől válik értékessé egy fotó? Mik az elemei?

—Composition + moment + light. For a great photo you can't exclude any of these.

—Véleménye szerint ki lehetne a 21. század szimbóluma?

—​Anyone that can bring peace and make the world a better place for everybody, not just for a few of us. Jesus Christ maybe if He decides to pay us a visit again.

—Mit kíván megörökíteni?

—I let my destiny to choose that for me.

—Van valamilyen szakmai tabuja?

—I am never allowing myself to be bored or tired while shooting a wedding... ok, maybe a little bored from time to time, but I'm always trying to make things more interesting.

—Kivel szeretne lefényképezkedni?

—​So many people and they know who they are… but right now Sergio and Kelly from www.kellyandsergio.com intrigue me a lot. Their work is so original and authentic.

—Mi aggasztja és miért?

—​I worry every time that I’m faking photography and that I suck!

—Mi élete legnagyszerűbb mozzanata?

—​The moment my son was born.

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

—​Sam Gamgee from Lord of the Rings! If more people would be like him, we’d live in a happier place!

—Ki van életére ihlető hatással és miért?

—​Anyone who doesn’t put his own self in front of everybody else. We live in a selfish world and I’m trying to cure myself from that too.

—Hogyan határozná meg a sikert? Mi a mércéje?

—​Success is when you manage to bring balance in you and around you.

—A szeretetet vagy az elismerést igényli jobban?

—​I don’t fight for any of these, so I can’t answer. If I get to be liked or respected it's because I did something good. I only fight to do good things.

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

—Every year I buy some photography books (not wedding photography, mostly photojournalism). I look at a lot of pictures (mywed is also a constant source of inspiration) and try to analyze the things I like in a picture. I shoot a lot of IPhone pictures and I try to stay alert to any interesting situations that might occur around me. A photographer should never "sleep", training and educating for this si a life long mission.

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

—So many, but mostly Saul Laiter, Sam Abell and James Nachtway. In wedding photography it was Jeff Ascough at first and then Ben and Erin Chrisman that started all for me! Their work made me want to become a better wedding photographer for all the good reasons.

—Mi motiválja, hogy tovább fotózzon?

—​The life I have now is a good one, I strive to keep it like this.

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

—I have the best parents in the world, I wouldn't change anything.

—Mi a véleménye a más bolygókon való életről?

—Yes.

—Kiket tart a hőseinek?

—The people who genuinely love to help the ones in need.

—Ki az, akit nem tud elismerni?

—Selfishness.

—Mivel foglalkozik szabad idejében?

—​Family time, traveling, reading, movies, playing video games with my son.

—Mikor teljességgel elégedett munkájával?

—​I’m far from being satisfied!

—Hisz a férfiak és nők hagyományos szerepében?

—​No.

—Könnyen barátkozik?

—​Friendship is a ship that take a long time to build, so, no, I don’t make friends easily! But I'm an easygoing person, I get along fine with almost everyone.

—Hol szeretne élni?

—​Near a forest and a lake, a few kilometers away from civilization, but with Internet and electricity. :)

—Van élet a házasság után?

—​Having or adopting a kid is life, so, yes, there is a lot of life after marriage.

—A kutyákat, vagy a macskákat kedveli inkább?

—​Both!

—Kit, vagy mit gyűlöl?

—​I’m trying hard not to hate anyone! So nobody, but I’m scared of extremists (any type of extremists)!

—A legjobb dolog az életben:

—​Children

—A legbosszantóbb dolog az életben:

—​Adults

—Van a környezetében valami, amin változtatni szeretne?

—​Preconceptions, I’d love to see the people more open minded (me included).

—Mit szeretne megváltoztatni önmagában?

—​The same things I’d like to change in other people too.

—Tudna néhány tanácsot adni a kezdő fotósoknak?

—​You photography can only be as good as you are… so instead of learning tons of new tricks, invest in yourself, but not in a selfish way.

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

—​Go back, we’re not ready!

—Ha filmforgatásra kérnék fel, milyen műfajt választana?

—​Sci Fi

—Holnap fogok...

—​A 10km run!
