Fotografas Calin Vurdea

—Ar esate fotogeniškas?

—I try to be! But that does not come out always as planned ;)

—Kaip jūs atsiradote fotografijos industrijoje?

—I got the bug after my wedding, and thanks to my photographer and now good friend, i started walking this path.

—Ar mėgstate keliauti?

—Yes, a lot!

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka labiausiai?

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka mažiausiai?

—Editing? Joking aside, i wish i would have the time to create more memories with brides and grooms all over the world.

—Kokia bus fotografijos ateitis?

—We are shaping this future as we speak, all of us. Everyone can set a milestone, regardless if one thinks he cannot do it all. Also, i think that each of us can be the future of wedding photography, we just have to try harder!

—Kuo ypatingas fotografijos žanras, kuriame jūs specializuojatės?

—Weddings are unique, in most of the cases it is an event that only happens once in a lifetime. And as a wedding photographer i am there to capture that moment, the start on a different path for two people, to represent their love, their feelings, in a photograph.

—Kaip susitvarkote su kritika?

—I am not arguing, i am merely explaining why i am correct. :)

—The wedding photographer's style should be able to represent the couple who has chosen him, that is the main criterion, in my opinion.

—Swearing, bossing people around, generally behaving not accordingly to the event one is attending to.

—Kokias detales, kurios paprastai būna nepastebėtos, gali pastebėti fotografas?

—I think a wedding photographer sees all the small parts of the big picture called wedding, thus allowing him to create a story. One can also see those small things, that sometimes express more than what "common people" could notice.

—Kas įtakoja nuotraukos vertę? Kokie yra jos elementai?

—Feelings. For me, those boost the value of a photo. After that, light and composition in the frame. Also, it should tell a story, lead your mind somewhere.

—Koks žmogus Jūsų manymu galėtų būti 21 amžiaus simboliu?

—I think each of us should be a symbol. I cannot choose a person. He can be the firefighter who rescues a cat from a house in flames, or the photographer who captures in a photo the last smile of the old grandfather.

—The day i bought my first DSLR and then realized, it was not all about the camera!

—Jeigu būtumėte animacinio filmo, knygos arba filmo veikėju, kuo norėtumėte būti ir kodėl?

—Dorian Gray, because all of us have some selfishness lying around somewhere.

—My wife, i always want to be so "superman"-ish, to do so many things at once!

—Kaip Jūs apibrėžtumėte sėkmės terminą? Kaip ją "matuojate"?

—Geriau būti mėgiamu ar gerbiamu?
