Fotografer Jamie Orndorff

—Pertama-tama – menurut Anda, siapa fotografer terbaik di Tampa, Amerika Serikat? :)

—If I'm being honest? Hehe...I love the work my husband and I do. We have shot weddings for about three years now so we've had time to refine our style and learn from other amazing photographers...making us the best us we could be!!

—Anda fotogenik?

—My husband says yes. I say meh.

—Bagaimana awal Anda masuk ke bidang fotografi?

—I've always found people to be the most interesting subjects. Seeing different expressions and emotions on one's face. When I started photographing people- I realized I loved capturing those expressions. Then I started photographing couples and realized I love capturing LOVE. It's beautiful and real and raw.

—Apa komponen terpenting dari foto yang baik menurut Anda?

—As an adventurous person- I love a beautiful landscape. Mountains, beaches, cliffs...anything in nature makes a beautiful photo for me.

—Anda suka bepergian?

—Traveling is basically our life. We've shot in Iceland, Mexico, California, Arizona, Tennessee, and many other incredible places. We love it more than we love tacos.

—Apa yang paling Anda suka tentang profesi Anda?

—My favorite thing is meeting new people and seeing new places. We have met so many awesome people during our time as photographers and that is an amazing bonus to this job!

—Apa yang paling tidak Anda suka tentang profesi Anda?

—...the way my back hurts after shooting a 9 hour wedding day.

—Bagaimana masa depan fotografi?

—Hopefully more creative and unique photographers and less typical poses and fake smiles.

—Apa yang istimewa dengan genre fotografi kekhususan Anda?

—Weddings are truly a beautiful and special thing in themselves. Being one of the most important days in one's life, there are always many different emotions throughout the day. The wedding photographer has the privilege of getting to capture all of them. It's amazing. A lot of times, it makes US cry!

—Bagaimana Anda menangani kritik?

—I always want to be a better photographer, person, wife, etc. Criticism is something difficult to take when given, but keeps me up at night. I definitely think it's needed in order to improve.

—Adakah tren dalam fotografi?

—Absolutely. Everyone is always trying to find their own style and niche and a lot of times copy others style of work. I say it's best to forget the trends and find your own lane.

—Apa yang seharusnya menjadi kriteria bagi pelanggan dalam memilih fotografer?

—Trust and taste are two huge factors. Every person needs to trust their photographer, meaning they need to build a sort of rapport. They should prove that they are able to capture and understand what is important to you. And of course taste- choose a photographer who's work you love! :-)

—Hal-hal apa yang harus dihindari saat pemotretan?

—Over posing. Fake smiles. Messy backgrounds.

—Detail apa yang umumnya lewat tanpa disadari yang tertangkap oleh fotografer?

—People don't always notice the best light, whereas photographers are chasers of beautiful light. Also little things- such as leading lines and unique spots that may look ordinary to the common eye...but look like a fairytale in a photograph.

—Apa yang memengaruhi nilai sebuah foto? Apa saja elemen-elemennya?

—The memories that come with the photo, what it can mean to a client. That is everything. Genuine laughs and happy tears captured in a photograph can be so valuable to someone.

—Siapa yang dapat menjadi simbol abad ke-21 menurut pendapat Anda?

—A symbol is different to everyone, we all have different inspirations. For me, I am inspired by Don and Helen, amazing and creative wedding photographers who thrive on the unconventional.

—Siapa yang ingin Anda jepret?

—People that are ridiculously, ridiculously, ridiculously in love. ;-)

—Anda memiliki tabu profesi tertentu?

—Drinking on the job. Oh well...

—Dengan siapa Anda ingin menjepret?

—Don and Helen. Chris Burkard. There are some talented people out there.

—Apa yang Anda khawatirkan, dan mengapa?

—I usually worry about everything when I'm on a plane. Nothing a little wine can't fix. Other than that, I don't worry too much. What's the point?

—Apa momen paling mengesankan dalam hidup Anda?

—I will never forget standing under the northern lights in Iceland. Honestly, creation is the most outstanding thing in the world. I was breathless and speechless.

—Jika Anda karakter kartun, buku, atau film, siapakah Anda dan mengapa?

—I think I would be Jess from New Girl. We have the same taste in style and are quirky by nature. Also I totally copied her bangs.

—Siapa yang menginspirasi Anda dalam hidup dan mengapa?

—My husband definitely inspires me. He is so creative and down to earth and smart and kind. If everyone were like him, the earth would ROCK.

—Bagaimana Anda mendefinisikan kesuksesan? Bagaimana Anda mengukurnya?

—True success, I believe, is measured by happiness. If you are happy, you are successful. Simple as that!

—Anda lebih senang disukai atau dihormati?

—Can't I have both? Haha...I guess I would say respected. Because people that like you may not like you the next day. If you're respected once, likely you'll be respected a long time.

—Apa kesalahan terbesar yang pernah Anda lakukan di tempat kerja?

—I used to work for a makeup company, and one time I messed up at inventory. All the numbers were wrong and we had to do it again...6 hours of work.

—Saat Anda akan bepergian, apa saja barang yang Anda bawa dan mengapa?

—Obviously, I always take my camera gear. Ha ha.

—Di antara gadget yang Anda miliki, adakah yang Anda harap tidak pernah Anda beli? Mengapa?

—Nothing that I can think of...

—Bagaimana Anda mengajari diri sendiri untuk mengambil gambar yang lebih baik?

—The best way to do this is to always be taking pictures. Whether it's with my professional gear or my iphone, I am always taking pictures and learning about light and composition

—Karya siapa yang paling memengaruhi Anda sebagai fotografer?

—Like I mentioned before, Don and Helen have influenced me the most. I love how they just don't fit in with any cliches. They see things the rest of the world is blind to. It's a beautiful thing.

—Apakah satu hal yang Anda harap Anda tahu saat mulai mengambil foto?

—I wish I knew to take photos in RAW format...not jpeg. Hahaha...

—Apa yang ingin Anda katakan dengan foto-foto Anda?

—I want them to show genuine emotions and love. Everything must be real.

—Apa yang memotivasi Anda untuk terus mengambil gambar?

—One of my favorite things to do is meet with other photographers and find out why they started photography, what keeps them going, what their favorite aspects are about it, etc. We did that recently with some amazing people and it really inspired us and motivated us to push ourselves harder to really give our best.

—Apakah orang tua Anda seharusnya lebih atau tidak terlalu ketat?

—Hmm... I'd say less. Hehe. But I never got in too much trouble so I guess that's a good thing, right?

—Jika Anda dapat kembali ke masa lalu, apa yang akan Anda lakukan secara berbeda?

—I would not have cut my bangs myself. Not good.

—Bagaimana tentang kehidupan di planet lain?

—We'll have to go explore and find out won't we???

—Siapa saja pahlawan Anda?

—My husband.

—Siapa yang tidak Anda hormati?

—I have no respect for selfish and proud people. We all live on the same beautiful earth and we should be giving and display humility in all we do.

—Apa yang Anda lakukan di waktu luang?

—Apparently I complete long interviews about my life, as I'm doing right now. But also, I mostly take photos and cuddle with my dog. Seriously, my dog is sooooo cute.

—Sisi diri Anda manakah yang tidak pernah dilihat orang?

—Woah...perhaps the sheer amount of ice cream that I consume. I will forever love Ben and Jerry's.

—Kapan Anda merasa benar-benar puas dengan pekerjaan Anda?

—When I make my clients happy cry. That is my biggest satisfaction, because I have done my job correctly.

—Anda percaya akan peran tradisional untuk pria dan wanita?

—I believe everyone has their own mind, their own conscience, and can do whatever they want to do.

—Anda mudah menjalin pertemanan?

—I am an INFJ. I am introspective, and very observant. When people realize that I'm not bored and am actually just observing them and getting to know them, then we can develop a close bond.

—Di mana Anda ingin tinggal?

—Without hesitation I can say one day I would love to live in Iceland! We have been twice and we are so in love. It is beautiful and cold and everything I would ever want!

—Hal terbodoh apa yang pernah Anda setujui untuk dilakukan?

—I would have to say...draw tattoos on myself from head to toe with a permanent marker. Yes, you can shake your head...it was very, very stupid.

—Adakah kehidupan setelah pernikahan?

—YES! I am married and my life is great. Traveling wedding photographers. What could be better?

—Anda punya lelucon favorit? Beri tahu kami.

—If I could change other people's attitudes to make everyone friendly, I would probably change that. But from where I stand, no changes needed.

—Apa yang ingin Anda ubah dalam diri sendiri?

—Hmm...I would like to have more patience. I'm just not a patient person but I think it's a great quality to have.

—Apa yang ingin Anda ubah di dunia ini?

—I would like there to be no more animal shelters. All animals have a home and happiness, that is ideal.

—Dapatkah Anda memberi kiat untuk fotografer yang baru saja memulai karier?

—Yes! Be a part of the community and get creative with your work. Don't try to just copy others and become popular. When you find your own style, stick with it and people will see that it's original.

—Jika alien mendatangi Bumi dan Andalah orang pertama yang mereka temui, apa yang akan Anda katakan pada mereka?

—Can I take your picture?

—Jika Anda dipanggil untuk mengambil gambar film, apakah genrenya?
