Fotografer Tom Wishart

—Pertama-tama – menurut Anda, siapa fotografer terbaik di Swanage, Inggris Raya? :)

—I'd have to put my hand on heart and name Murray and Myself as the best wedding photographers in Swanage

—Anda fotogenik?

—Oh hell no, but the more time I spend in front of the camera the better I am at having my photograph taken

—Bagaimana awal Anda masuk ke bidang fotografi?

—I am the son of a photography teacher, discovering my passion for photography and playing with pinhole cameras at the age of three. He was then trained as a photojournalist and found that shooting weddings were my ideal creative outlet. As a wedding photographer I can combine so many different aspects and techniques into my work. I have since developed a passion for capturing people’s natural characters and emotions as well as incorporating experimental photographic techniques into my wedding photography.

—Apa komponen terpenting dari foto yang baik menurut Anda?

—Capturing the true emotion of the moment and conveying it well. If i can produce an image that required looking at more than once to understand it I am happy.

—Anda suka bepergian?

—Absolutely, I have spent time travelling around Europe, South America, North America and Australia burning through film and memory cards like there was no tomorrow.

—Apa yang paling Anda suka tentang profesi Anda?

—Meeting brides and grooms and being a part of their wonderful weddings. Also being able to work with one of my best friends to create something we are both passionate about.

—Bagaimana masa depan fotografi?

—Always, but I believe in keeping them at a considered arms length. I think wedding photography should be timeless, god forbid any of my clients look back at their images and think they look dated.
