Fotogrāfs Tom Wishart

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

—I'd have to put my hand on heart and name Murray and Myself as the best wedding photographers in Swanage

—Vai Tu esi fotogēnisks?

—Oh hell no, but the more time I spend in front of the camera the better I am at having my photograph taken

—Kā tu nokļuvi fotogrāfijas jomā?

—I am the son of a photography teacher, discovering my passion for photography and playing with pinhole cameras at the age of three. He was then trained as a photojournalist and found that shooting weddings were my ideal creative outlet. As a wedding photographer I can combine so many different aspects and techniques into my work. I have since developed a passion for capturing people’s natural characters and emotions as well as incorporating experimental photographic techniques into my wedding photography.

—Kuri, Tavuprāt, ir svarīgākie labas fotogrāfijas elementi?

—Capturing the true emotion of the moment and conveying it well. If i can produce an image that required looking at more than once to understand it I am happy.

—Vai Tu mīli ceļošanu?

—Absolutely, I have spent time travelling around Europe, South America, North America and Australia burning through film and memory cards like there was no tomorrow.

—Kas Tev vislabāk patīk savā profesijā?

—Meeting brides and grooms and being a part of their wonderful weddings. Also being able to work with one of my best friends to create something we are both passionate about.

—Kas Tavā profesijā Tev patīk vismazāk?

—The incredibly long and sometimes unsocial hours spent working on images

—Kāda būs fotogrāfijas nākotne?

—I think the standards of wedding photography will continue to steadily improve as those at the top of their game differentiate themselves from the crowd. I also believe that available technology will have a major impact on the way we work and the equipment we work with.

—Kas ir īpašs fotogrāfijas žanrā, kurā specializējies?

—The conveyance of real emotion and the ability to take someone back to the feeling of a certain time and place with an image.

—Kā Tu uztver kritiku?

—As a tool to improve

—Vai fotogrāfijā ir kādas īpašas tendences?

—Always, but I believe in keeping them at a considered arms length. I think wedding photography should be timeless, god forbid any of my clients look back at their images and think they look dated.

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

—The quality and style of the images should match the couples requirements but as equally important they should get along like a house on fire. After all we are the only suppliers with a bride and groom for their entire day

—No kā fotogrāfējot būtu jāizvairās?

—Interrupting and obtruding the natural flow of a wedding day

—Kādus parasti nepamanītus brīžus var notvert fotogrāfs?

—So many things; relevant little details, unusual compositions, the best of light and colour

—Kas ietekmē fotogrāfijas vērtību? Kādi ir tās elementi?

—How long is a piece of string? Virtually everything influences the value of a photograph and its elements.

—Kas Tevi iedvesmo dzīvē un kāpēc?

—A multitude of things and people, but mainly being in the outdoor and nature

—Kā Tu definētu veiksmi? Vai to var izmērīt?

—By happiness and how much i feel
