写真家Anne Ling氏

—I'm a passionate traveller. I've already been to 39 countries and I'm really happy that my work is international.

—あなたが専門とする特別な写真撮影のジャンルは？

—Wedding photography combines documentary and fine art photography. So being a professional in both is crucial.

—写真の価値に影響を与えるものとは何でしょうか？その要因は？

—Time influences the value of a photo the most. Photos are like good wine – the older the better. While capturing a wedding I always keep in mind that this photos will keep the memories through the years.

—プロとしてタブーとしている事はありますか？

—写真家として、誰の作品に一番影響を受けましたか？

—I've studied fine arts since childhood. So all the great painters, photographers, film directors influenced me a lot.

—自分の写真に対して何かコメントはありますか？

—That it is much more important to collect feelings not things. Nothing will be more valuable for you through the years than a teardrop on your mother's cheek or a sincere hug of your best friend or a picture of you two standing on the edge of the earth holding hands and looking to each other's eyes.

—写真撮影を続けさせる動機は何でしょうか？

—My clients, of course. When I send them their photos and receive an answer: "We are totally in love with our photos! Thank you so much, Anne!!!"
In such moments I feel absolutely happy!
