Fotografas Josh Jones

—Ar esate fotogeniškas?

—Sometimes... If I've gotten enough sleep and have a glass of wine or two

—Kaip jūs atsiradote fotografijos industrijoje?

—In 2004 I got a digital camera for Christmas, back when digital cameras weren't attached to every device. I was facinated with how you could freeze time, and then view the past later. I couldn't set it down. A few years later I shot my first wedding, fell in love with it and 10 years later have shot over 200.

—Jūsų nuomone, kokie yra svarbiausi geros nuotraukos komponentai?

—A moment. For sure. If it doesn't have this it's not worth remembering. After that, certainly lighting and composition go a long way.

—Ar mėgstate keliauti?

—Absolutely. We have traveled all over the world taking photos!

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka labiausiai?

—I love that every weekend I get to be a huge part of someone's "most important day of their life."

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka mažiausiai?

—Crazy church ladies that force me to shoot from 100 feet away in the balcony during the ceremony.

—Kokia bus fotografijos ateitis?

—More and more instant gratification. A one month turn around average for a wedding will turn into a day.

—Kuo ypatingas fotografijos žanras, kuriame jūs specializuojatės?

—The father of the bride that has never cried in public before. The look on the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time. The uncle that doesn't normally drink is dancing up a storm on the dance floor.

—Kaip susitvarkote su kritika?

—I love it. As long as it is constructive it is one of the biggest gifts you can give to me.

—Ar fotografijoje egzistuoja tendencijos?

—Always are. Always will be. I think the washed out vintage look is certainly "in style" right now, and I can't wait for it to go away.

—Dėl ko nerimaujate ir kodėl?

—I've found that the energy I've wasted in the past on worrying about things was better spent on just doing what I was supposed anyway. No regrets. No fear.

—Geriau būti mėgiamu ar gerbiamu?

—Respected.

—Kaip mokotės gauti kokybiškesnes nuotraukas?

—Getting out there and shooting. Practice. Practice. Practice. And never stop trying new things.

—Kieno darbas jus kaip fotografą įtakojo labiausiai?

—Susan Stripling.

—Ką veikite laisvalaikiu?

—I make wine. My wife and I own a small winery and vineyard here in Greenville, SC and love everything from the vines, to the land, to the people that come into our tasting room.

—Kada esate visiškai patenkinti savo darbu?

—Never.

—Kur norėtumėte gyventi?

—Greenville, SC. It is the best place in the world for me and my wife. If it wasn't, I would move. Life is too short to live in a place that isn't best for you and your family!
