写真家Christian Fagerland氏

—どうして写真撮影業界に入ったのですか？

—I've always had a passion to create something. In photography I found a way to really create something meaningful. Especially in weddings, I get to create images that have a big value to the couple.

—良い写真を撮影するにあたって最も重要な要素とは何であるか、ご意見をお聞かせいただけますでしょうか？

—The photo has to reflect something real. If you smile because I've told you to, it's not a real smile, it's a forced one.A good photo often contains few elements (you and a clean background), good light and real emotion.

—旅行が好きですか？

—I do! Then I can stop along the way and eat a big hamburger. mmmm

—あなたの職業について一番好きなことは何ですか？

—To create something beautiful and meaningful

—あなたの職業について一番嫌いなことは何ですか？

—90% of photography is not actually taking photos. So I don't love some of the mundane tasks like accounting and stuff related to that.

—未来の写真撮影とはどのようなものでしょうか？

—The more advanced the cameras become, the more technically correct the images will be. Less blur, less missed focus, more accurate colors and light.We humans want our art to be created by humans. This means there has to be some imperfections, or else it just looks to sterile and uninspiring. The future of photography will then be more and more about post prosessing. If the photographer have a 100% technically correct image, he or she can create something great of this in post.

—批判に対処するには？

—Pretty well. It might affect me as anyone, but if it's constructive I will appreciate it, so I might learn from it.

—写真撮影でトレンドはありますか？

—Now in 2020, there seem to be a global trend for over-warming the images. Some look so yellow I can almost feel the sun.I don't follow trends. I photograph weddings, and I don't want my clients too look at the images 20 years from now and get embarrassed over the crazy 2020-style.

—写真家選択の際に、お客様が基準とすべきことは何ですか？

—Get one you like the images of. Call them, do you like them still? Is this someone you would like to be close to a few hours on you biggest day ever?If you are on a tight budget, get a good photographer to photograph the ceremony and portraits, or just portraits, rather then a mediocre to cover the whole day.

—撮影の際、絶対に受け入れがたいことは何でしょうか？

—Funny poses. I never ask you to do something "funny". If a friend of you say "heeyyy, wont you to hide behind the tree there and poke your heads out from the tree? that'll be funnnnnnn"No thank you.

—写真家が気づくことができる普段は見過ごさせる細かい点は何ですか？

—Grandparents interacting with grandchildren. #sweet

—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？

—Moments. I want the couple to get images of moments. When you look at the image, you just remember how you felt that moment.

—どんな人を撮影したいですか？

—I don't think that way. I'm glad to photograph anyone!
