Fotografer Alex Constantinescu

—Pertama-tama – menurut Anda, siapa fotografer terbaik di Bukares, Romania? :)

—When it comes to any artistic approach, I don't consider there is a best person who does that as there are many styles to choose from. There are a few whom I appreciate, none is best, but all are good.

—Anda fotogenik?

—Only when I don't know I'm being photographed.

—Bagaimana awal Anda masuk ke bidang fotografi?

—My passion for portraits has started in high school. At one point it was just the natural course of action.

—Apa komponen terpenting dari foto yang baik menurut Anda?

—I believe it is more important the message relayed by the photographer and the way it reaches the audience, rather than how a photo looks.

—Anda suka bepergian?

—Does whiskey taste better as it ages?

—Apa yang paling Anda suka tentang profesi Anda?

—The moment when people I work with look at their portrait I just took and go: "WHOW!"

—Apa yang paling tidak Anda suka tentang profesi Anda?

—I believe every artist is the most critical person towards themselves. So yes, there are plenty. But if there weren't, we wouldn't evolve and get better.

—Apa yang istimewa dengan genre fotografi kekhususan Anda?

—The emotions are real.

—Bagaimana Anda menangani kritik?

—Depends on who is it coming from and if they have a valid argument or not.

—Adakah tren dalam fotografi?

—Of course, from shooting style to editing. All are good as the client is happy with the results.

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

—I believe it is very important to have a balance between shooting and editing style, and similar lifestyle values and principles.

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

—While most photographers are paying attention to the bride and groom, I also take peaks at the guests to catch a proud smile of the parents, grandma's tears of joy and pure cheekiness of the children attending.

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

—Siapa yang menginspirasi Anda dalam hidup dan mengapa?

—I always try today to be a little better than yesterday. For me that is enough.

—Bagaimana Anda mendefinisikan kesuksesan? Bagaimana Anda mengukurnya?

—I don't think there is a quantifiable method for success. Once we get to whatever moment we believed we could consider ourselves successful, it will change into something else. As long as we strive to be better in life, I believe it is a successful strategy.

—Anda lebih senang disukai atau dihormati?

—I think most of us prefer to be accepted as we are, quirks and all without fearing others opinion of ourselves if we do x or y.
