Fotografas Alex Constantinescu

—Pirmiausia ir svarbiausia – ką galite įvardinti kaip geriausią fotografą jūsų mieste? :)

—When it comes to any artistic approach, I don't consider there is a best person who does that as there are many styles to choose from. There are a few whom I appreciate, none is best, but all are good.

—Ar esate fotogeniškas?

—Only when I don't know I'm being photographed.

—Kaip jūs atsiradote fotografijos industrijoje?

—My passion for portraits has started in high school. At one point it was just the natural course of action.

—Jūsų nuomone, kokie yra svarbiausi geros nuotraukos komponentai?

—I believe it is more important the message relayed by the photographer and the way it reaches the audience, rather than how a photo looks.

—Ar mėgstate keliauti?

—Does whiskey taste better as it ages?

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka labiausiai?

—The moment when people I work with look at their portrait I just took and go: "WHOW!"

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka mažiausiai?

—I believe every artist is the most critical person towards themselves. So yes, there are plenty. But if there weren't, we wouldn't evolve and get better.

—Kuo ypatingas fotografijos žanras, kuriame jūs specializuojatės?

—The emotions are real.

—Kaip susitvarkote su kritika?

—Depends on who is it coming from and if they have a valid argument or not.

—Ar fotografijoje egzistuoja tendencijos?

—Of course, from shooting style to editing. All are good as the client is happy with the results.

—Kokie turėtų būti kliento kriterijai, kad pasirinkti fotografą?

—I believe it is very important to have a balance between shooting and editing style, and similar lifestyle values and principles.

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

—While most photographers are paying attention to the bride and groom, I also take peaks at the guests to catch a proud smile of the parents, grandma's tears of joy and pure cheekiness of the children attending.

—Kas įtakoja nuotraukos vertę? Kokie yra jos elementai?

—The way it makes the viewer feel.

—Koks žmogus Jūsų manymu galėtų būti 21 amžiaus simboliu?

—Su kuo norėtumėte kartu fotografuoti?

—Joe Buissink and Jerry Ghionis.

—Kas yra įsimintiniausias dalykas nutikęs Jūsų gyvenime?

—I can't say it is a moment, more like a long term experience when I went to study abroad, in France.

—Kas ir kodėl Jus įkvepia gyvenime?

—I always try today to be a little better than yesterday. For me that is enough.

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

—I don't think there is a quantifiable method for success. Once we get to whatever moment we believed we could consider ourselves successful, it will change into something else. As long as we strive to be better in life, I believe it is a successful strategy.

—Geriau būti mėgiamu ar gerbiamu?

—I think most of us prefer to be accepted as we are, quirks and all without fearing others opinion of ourselves if we do x or y.

—Kaip mokotės gauti kokybiškesnes nuotraukas?

—Practice. Practice. Practice.

—Kieno darbas jus kaip fotografą įtakojo labiausiai?

—Ką norite pasakyti savo nuotraukomis?

—People look beautiful when they let go and just be themselves.

—Kas motyvuoja Jus toliau fotografuoti?

—It's always something new. New people, new relationships, new ways to express emotions.

—Jeigu galėtumėte grįžti į praeitį, ką darytumėte kitaip?

—Buy Bitcoin. :))

—Ką veikite laisvalaikiu?

—I enjoy going to the movies, watching Netflix and traveling.

—Ar tikite tradicinėmis vyrų ir moterų rolėmis?

—I believe some men are naturally better at some stuff and some women are naturally better at other stuff. Doesn't mean one can't do what the other can.
