Fotogrāfs Alex Constantinescu

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

—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.

—Vai Tu esi fotogēnisks?

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

—Kā tu nokļuvi fotogrāfijas jomā?

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

—Kuri, Tavuprāt, ir svarīgākie labas fotogrāfijas elementi?

—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.

—Vai Tu mīli ceļošanu?

—Does whiskey taste better as it ages?

—Kas Tev vislabāk patīk savā profesijā?

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

—Kas Tavā profesijā Tev patīk vismazāk?

—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.

—Kas ir īpašs fotogrāfijas žanrā, kurā specializējies?

—The emotions are real.

—Kā Tu uztver kritiku?

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

—Vai fotogrāfijā ir kādas īpašas tendences?

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

—Kādi ir kritēriji, kas klientam jāņem vērā, izvēloties fotogrāfu?

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

—Kādus parasti nepamanītus brīžus var notvert fotogrāfs?

—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 ietekmē fotogrāfijas vērtību? Kādi ir tās elementi?

—Kas ir Tavas dzīves iespaidīgakais brīdis?

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

—Kas Tevi iedvesmo dzīvē un kāpēc?

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

—Kā Tu definētu veiksmi? Vai to var izmērīt?

—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.

—Vai Tev labāk patīk tikt mīlētam vai tikt cienītam?

—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.

—Ko Tu vēlies pastāstīt ar savām fotogrāfijām?

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

—Kas Tevi motivē turpināt uzņemt fotogrāfijas?

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

—Ja Tu varētu ceļot atpakaļ laikā, ko Tu darītu savādāk?

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

—Vai Tu tici tradicionālajam lomu sadalījumam starp vīrieti un sievieti?
