Fotogrāfs Jason Clavey

—Pirmkārt un galvenokārt - kurš Tavuprāt ir labākais fotogrāfs Tavā pilsētā? :)

—There are a lot of great photographers in Ayia Napa... A lot of bad ones too! I couldn't pick 1 best but I could pick a handfull!

—Vai Tu esi fotogēnisks?

—I don't believe so! It's why I prefer to be on the other side of the camera!

—Kā tu nokļuvi fotogrāfijas jomā?

—I started out as a nightlife photographer. I was asked to do a few family weddings, then a few friend's weddings and then I bit the bullet and decided to go full time!

—Kuri, Tavuprāt, ir svarīgākie labas fotogrāfijas elementi?

—There are far too many elements that make a good photo! but the two at the top of my rule book are lighting and composition. If you can master those then the rest follows!

—I LOVE travelling. I just don't get to do much of it! haha

—Kas Tavā profesijā Tev patīk vismazāk?

—'Scuse my language... but the b*tchiness... between other photographers. At the end of the day business is business. but some people will go to great lengths to put others down. It's not great.

I wouldn't be doing what I do if it wasn't for their support!
