Fotografer Josh Jones

—Anda fotogenik?

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

—Bagaimana awal Anda masuk ke bidang fotografi?

—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.

—Apa komponen terpenting dari foto yang baik menurut Anda?

—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.

—Anda suka bepergian?

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

—Apa yang paling Anda suka tentang profesi Anda?

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

—Apa yang paling tidak Anda suka tentang profesi Anda?

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

—Bagaimana masa depan fotografi?

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

—Apa yang istimewa dengan genre fotografi kekhususan Anda?

—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.

—Bagaimana Anda menangani kritik?

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

—Adakah tren dalam fotografi?

—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.

—Apa yang Anda khawatirkan, dan mengapa?

—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.

—Anda lebih senang disukai atau dihormati?

—Respected.

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

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

—Karya siapa yang paling memengaruhi Anda sebagai fotografer?

—Susan Stripling.

—Apa yang Anda lakukan di waktu luang?

—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.

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

—Never.

—Di mana Anda ingin tinggal?

—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!
