Stephanie Kindermann fotós

—Mindenekelőtt - ki a legjobb fotós Brisbane, Ausztrália városában? : )

—Ha! There's a mad, crazy hoard of us.

—Ön fotogén?

—Yes, and I'll tell you why – I have a high threshold for embarrassment. The less self conscious you are, the better you photograph.

—Hogyan csöppent a fényképezés világába?

—So here's the story – my father had been a wedding photographer and so I had my first little film disposables from about 5 years old. I’d shot probably thousands of rolls by the time I made it to photography college, but it was the moment where I was standing in the darkroom seeing that first image rise out of the chemical trays that I remember. Everyone else around me was fairly cool about the whole process but I couldn’t stop laughing with this electric thrill. This was the moment in my life where it became absolutely clear – I knew this is what I was going to do now. Weddings? Everyone loves a party. And a wedding is the best kind of party to shoot.

—Véleménye szerint mik egy jó fotó legfontosabb elemei?

—Good visual narrative – all the elements needed to give you context.
The split second – at the high point of madness.
The feels – something that makes your heart hurt or leap.

—Szeret utazni?

—I live for it.

—Mi szeret szakmájában a legjobban?

—Learning the world's secrets.
I'll share some of them with you.
No one cooks better than a Greek mama or parties as hard as a Croatian groomsman. Vietnamese elders are the bravest karaoke singers, the French do the best cigar and whiskey bar (not to mention the cheeses) and that Ghanaians will crush any dance floor. Chinese door games can be a hair raising experience, and it is deeply moving it is to see Maori women sing a welcoming song to the bride.

—Mi szeret szakmájában a legkevésbé?

—When the alternate drop arrives, the chicken is always overcooked. Always.

—Milyen lesz a fotózás jövője?

—Wow this is cool, I hope it will be some sort of virtual reality with a fully rendered 3D capture from the entire day. You'll be able to bang on your head set and take a walk through the entire event from any time and angle.

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

—Often having a professional photograph your family is a very rare event. With this in mind I always devote a lot of time and care to capture portraits of treasured people – grandparents, GREAT grandparents, brothers, sisters, children.

—Hogyan bírja a kritikát?

—I walked through a lot of fire in my early years of learning to shoot, and I'm still here :) Think of my teacher as being that old guy from Kill Bill who strokes his beard a lot.

—Észlelhetők tendenciák a fotózásban?

—Yes, and they're mostly so cheesy. Things like making love hearts with your hands.... plz no!

—Mi alapján kellene kiválasztaniuk az ügyfeleknek a fotóst?

—Love the work – don't employ your photographer then ask for an aesthetic from another artist!
Vibes! Would you want to drink a beer with them? Ideally you start the booking process with good vibes, and finish the wedding singing bad karaoke together.

—Mi az, ami a fényképezés során teljességgel megengedhetetlen?

—Hunger. Bride, groom, photographer and squad members should be loaded up with snacks. Picnic style canapes and champagne if you're fancy, sausage rolls and red bull if you're not.

—Milyen általában észrevétlen részletek ragadhatják meg egy fotós figyelmét?

—Ha! "Common people," love it.
One of my favourites is the tight-lipped, crazy-eyed stage-whispered threats of a parent to errant child – usually during a particularly tender moment during the ceremony.

—Mitől válik értékessé egy fotó? Mik az elemei?

—The value in a photo is, I feel, in how valued the subject is in it.
For example, a wife will always love a portrait of her husband that has captured how she sees him. If he's a charismatic person, than a genuine laugh. If he's a quiet person, then a photograph of him unaware, relaxed and thoughtful.

—Véleménye szerint ki lehetne a 21. század szimbóluma?

—Elon Musk. Billionaire, genius, puts a model car in his real car then launches it into space. What a legend.

—Mit kíván megörökíteni?

—People madly in love.

—Van valamilyen szakmai tabuja?

—I am a woman of no limits.

—Kivel szeretne lefényképezkedni?

—Jonas Peterson. He seems like a very relaxed, interesting fellow.

—Mi aggasztja és miért?

—Mostly I have dreams where I've overslept my alarm and a bride is calling me, asking where I am, and I'm a 2 hour drive away. I guess that's my biggest worry.

—Mi élete legnagyszerűbb mozzanata?

—Once, driving home very late from a wedding (of course), I saw space junk or a comet or the worlds most massive shooting star – so bright it illuminated everything around me. It travelled directly down the line of the straight highway I was driving for a full 10 seconds before burning out. An exceptional moment.

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

—Trinity from The Matrix. She was cool and wore latex before lip injections and enormous butts became the symbols of beauty.

—Ki van életére ihlető hatással és miért?

—Jimmy Nelson, photographer and author of Before They Pass Away. His is a body of work that is truly exceptional and of historical value.

—Hogyan határozná meg a sikert? Mi a mércéje?

—Can't measure it but you can feel it – are you getting enough quality sleep? Are you eating well and sharing good wine with friends? Do you have leisure time with your loved ones, and does your work fill you with pleasure?

—A szeretetet vagy az elismerést igényli jobban?

—Not everyone will like you all of the time, but you should always conduct yourself in a way that people have no loss of respect for you.

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

—Working at a camera shop, shipped two very expensive video cameras to someone who turned out to be fraudulent. OOPS!

—Hova készül utazni, mit visz magával és miért?

—My husband, because he can read maps.

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

—No, but people love to "gift" me their defunct camera gear. Please stop doing this baby boomer friends.

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

—I spend A LOT of time on lovely curation sites like this one.

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

—Steve McCurry (again). Portrait photographer for National Geographic.

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

—That the rules don't actually matter, and only diminish the potential expression of true moments.

—Mit kíván fényképeivel közölni?

—This is a mirror of your life in this moment.

—Mi motiválja, hogy tovább fotózzon?

—I have no other talents. LOL, no I can cook quite well. But photographing is my true purpose.

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

—Less. I was raised conservative Catholic. Not allowed to watch The Simpsons when you're 17... come on!

—Ha visszatérhetne az időben, mit tenne másképp?

—I wouldn't bother going to study, and instead buy a great kit and apprentice myself out 3 years earlier instead. I did the ol' highschool > study > apprentice > professional route. But study is now a moot point with online resources like Linda.com.

—Mi a véleménye a más bolygókon való életről?

—Oh jeez I hope so. Certainly spices things up.

—Kiket tart a hőseinek?

—My colleagues, for lifting my heavy, heavy camera bag up and down stairs and into the car innumerable times.

—Ki az, akit nem tud elismerni?

—Paedophiles

—Mivel foglalkozik szabad idejében?

—I punch through Netflix series like a karate master does bricks.

—Mely oldaláról nem ismeri a nyilvánosság?

—Lying around in pyjamas, no makeup, orange Dorito stained fingers, unshaved legs.

—Mikor teljességgel elégedett munkájával?

—When a couple tells me they cried seeing the pictures. (With JOY).

—Hisz a férfiak és nők hagyományos szerepében?

—There are definitely things men are better at, like being muscly and crushing rocks with their bare fists. And there are definitely things women are better at, like looking good in high heels and jean shorts.

—Könnyen barátkozik?

—Yes

—Hol szeretne élni?

—I'd love a couple of years in Istanbul. I'm a big fan!

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

—To go on a VERY long bush walk, mere hours after getting home from a pub crawl.

—Van élet a házasság után?

—YES! It just keeps getting better!

—Van kedvenc vicce? Mondja el.

—Any Gary Larson comic ever published. He might be the funniest man on earth.

—A kutyákat, vagy a macskákat kedveli inkább?

—Cats. I'm not embarrassed.

—Kit, vagy mit gyűlöl?

—Celery. Eww

—A legjobb dolog az életben:

—Champagne and cheeses with friends.

—A legbosszantóbb dolog az életben:

—People farting next to you on flights.

—Van a környezetében valami, amin változtatni szeretne?

—I'm about to try my hand at home renovation, in a very literal interpretation of that question!

—Mit szeretne megváltoztatni önmagában?

—I would love to learn Chinese. And sign language. And also do some pottery. And learn to ride horses. Probably should exercise more too.

—Mit szeretne megváltoztatni a világon?

—Let's turn down the level of racism shall we, it seems to be gaining momentum instead of losing it.

—Tudna néhány tanácsot adni a kezdő fotósoknak?

—Sure! Don't train yourself out of -not- shooting things. Such as the weird, or awkward, or funny or embarrassing moments. These are some of the greatest photographs you could take!

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

—I guess I'd ask them if they wanted to join us for lunch, I know a good place...

—Ha filmforgatásra kérnék fel, milyen műfajt választana?

—Whatever genre Monty Python calls itself.

—Holnap fogok...

—EDIT! Pat my cat. Email clients! Poke around the fridge and hope for the best. Print some albums! Look at memes!
