Fotografas Carlos Bruno

—Ar esate fotogeniškas?

—(Behind of my lens) ... Yes I do! ;)

—Kaip jūs atsiradote fotografijos industrijoje?

—The pictures of my wedding came out a disaster.
Tons of hours behind of my computer using my skills on Photoshop to fix them and make my wife happy again to have back our best memories. Having Photography as part of my skills as Graphic Designer, connect two dots was a no brain: keep doing what I love and what the others call "work" and support a family that I was starting with her.

—Jūsų nuomone, kokie yra svarbiausi geros nuotraukos komponentai?

—Emotion with composition and composition with emotion.
I already saw tons of pictures that could not tell the story properly of 'that' moment just because an essential 'detail' was missing within the image.

—Ar mėgstate keliauti?

—Well ... I'm Brazilian. 12,000 miles to reach here. 'Nuf to say ...

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka labiausiai?

—It's NOT a job. It's THE best way to support me and my family.

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka mažiausiai?

—I can understand customers that want get the max asking paying min.
It's part of OUR day-by-day get a good deal. I got it.
The disrespect with the professional is what I can't agree.
When you turn back and ask for a free-whatever-the-person-works -with, you became a unreasonable figure.

And with all these improves on the gear, I'm happy to be one in the middle of this fast evolving tornado.

—I'm not following trends anymore.
I try to get my inspiration for every work on the couples or in other filed of art.

—Kokie turėtų būti kliento kriterijai, kad pasirinkti fotografą?

—Empathy. What some couples can consider an amazing quality of images (from focus to show the exactly color of the table cloth) , for others those can have not a single drop of emotion.
For some couples the photographer will there just to make their money worth taking thousands of clicks, others become friend for life.

—Kokių dalykų turi būti vengiama fotografuojant?

—The couple has to determine where the respect can be "bend", but never broke. I already had couples that LOVED I went behind of the priest – without anyone noticed – to get their emotion what I could never get if I stayed where the priest determined I had to stay. In other moment, I refused to do something requested by the couple because I knew I will be very disrespect to the church.

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

—The emotion of the eyes.
Everyone can see one or other crying, but the moment BEFORE that, few people can read.

—Kas įtakoja nuotraukos vertę? Kokie yra jos elementai?

—The exactly right moment. And maybe can not be THE moment.
Sometimes, as I said above, the perfect image happens before, and sometimes happens after a situation.

Take a good amount of the time to learn that you MAYBE loose or don't reach your usual "100%" in a first job that request that gadget, but you not necessary HAS TO HAVE all of them the market release.

—Kaip mokotės gauti kokybiškesnes nuotraukas?

—Asking for critics, as much as possible. Studying not only your craft but all others that has a certain link with visual approaches. Landscape is a wonderful example. On the field (a golf course for instance) you can find in a heart beat a best composition – if you know what your lenses are able to capture.

—Kieno darbas jus kaip fotografą įtakojo labiausiai?

—Fashion world – the models know exactly where and when place their hands and how to bend their hips. Helps A LOT show your customers that you know what will be great for them in ANY physical complexion, they feel much more secure knowing you won't let them down and control a situation once they are not used to pose.
Painters – mostly the ones that knew how to play with the "Chiaro & Scuro" ... light and darkness.

—Išskirkite vieną dalyką kurį būtumėte norėjęs žinoti prieš pradedant fotografo karjerą?

—Ką norite pasakyti savo nuotraukomis?

—Replicate the exactly (and make the observer feels) the emotions that were happening the moment I clicked them.

—Kas motyvuoja Jus toliau fotografuoti?

—Passion. Bills.

—Jūsų tėvai turėjo būti labiau ar mažiau griežti?

—Probably a common answer but they did exactly what suppose to be done.

—Jeigu galėtumėte grįžti į praeitį, ką darytumėte kitaip?

It's a group of things and facts that co-exists amazingly well so, I know if something changed because I didn't feel good at the time I did/happened I will ending change a lot of other things. Butterfly effect.
