Fotogrāfs Anne Ling

—Kā tu nokļuvi fotogrāfijas jomā?

—My way in photography started 10 years ago with editorial and fashion. But I've always admired real people and real emotions much more. So that's how I've started documenting weddings and other important life moments in different countries.

—Vai Tu mīli ceļošanu?

—I'm a passionate traveller. I've already been to 39 countries and I'm really happy that my work is international.

—Kas ir īpašs fotogrāfijas žanrā, kurā specializējies?

—Wedding photography combines documentary and fine art photography. So being a professional in both is crucial.

—Kas ietekmē fotogrāfijas vērtību? Kādi ir tās elementi?

—Time influences the value of a photo the most. Photos are like good wine – the older the better. While capturing a wedding I always keep in mind that this photos will keep the memories through the years.

—Vai Tev ir kādi profesionālie tabu?

—I never photograph people in embarrassing situation or angle.

—Kuri darbi Tevi kā fotogrāfu ir visvairāk iedvesmojuši?

—I've studied fine arts since childhood. So all the great painters, photographers, film directors influenced me a lot.

—Ko Tu vēlies pastāstīt ar savām fotogrāfijām?

—That it is much more important to collect feelings not things. Nothing will be more valuable for you through the years than a teardrop on your mother's cheek or a sincere hug of your best friend or a picture of you two standing on the edge of the earth holding hands and looking to each other's eyes.

—Kas Tevi motivē turpināt uzņemt fotogrāfijas?

—My clients, of course. When I send them their photos and receive an answer: "We are totally in love with our photos! Thank you so much, Anne!!!"
In such moments I feel absolutely happy!
