—Pertama sekali – siapakah yang boleh anda namakan sebagai jurufoto terbaik di Craiova? :)

—Well, it all depends on who you ask.
What is the best car in the world ? Everyone just sees things differently and especially in photography which is an art in itself, where everything is subjective, ask 10 people this question and probably you will get 11 different answers ! :)

—Apakah sepatutnya menjadi kriteria untuk seorang pelanggan memilih jurufoto?

—If there is one thing I always encourage newlyweds to do when looking for a wedding photographer is to pay very good attention to the portfolios and see which style would suit them and most importantly when meeting a wedding photographer – have him show a full wedding coverage and not get "fooled" by the best 2-3 photos everyone uploads online.

—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—It was back in 2007 I think ... photography was already a hobby for me and as I already had a "decent" DSLR kit ( by those times' standards ) a friend of mine ( who was a videographer ) asked me to go with him and shoot some christenings. I was scared as hell thinking I have a huge responsibility but everything went well and then I moved to weddings, still shooting for him as I didn't have any portfolio. The next year I started going solo and ... 10 years later here we are.

—Apakah komponen paling penting sekeping foto yang bagus menurut pendapat anda?

—Adakah anda minat mengembara?

—Sure, who doesn't ?
Although I shot quite a few after wedding session abroad with just the bride and groom, I would love to be able to shoot a full destination wedding sometime.

—Apakah yang paling anda sukai mengenai kerjaya anda?

—Happiness in the client's eyes when they look at their wedding photos for the first time.

—Apakah yang paling anda tidak suka mengenai kerjaya anda?

—Hmm tough one...
If I'd had to choose, it would probably the fact that I have to refuse some clients that reeeeealy want me as their wedding photographer, because I already booked their wedding date for someone else.

—Bagaimanakah cara anda menangani kritikan?

—I embrace it – it's the only way we move up the ladder.

—Apakah masa depan fotografi?

—Probably not much would change – no matter how advanced the cameras will get. A strong and great wedding image from the 50s is still great today so I can only image – the things that bring value to an image will stay constant over time.

—Apakah perkara yang patut dielakkan semasa penggambaran?

—Photography is an art – no doubt about that and I find it unacceptable for a client to give the photographer exact and strict examples of they want their wedding images to look like, by bringing photos from other photographers around the world and setting stirct guidelines and boundaries regarding their own images. A photographer should be hired if you liked his own style, not to reproduce someone else's work.

—Pertama sekali – siapakah yang boleh anda namakan sebagai jurufoto terbaik di San Diego? :)

—I think that we all want to say ourselves but really the best wedding photographer is the one the best fits the style of what the bride and groom are looking for. But as far as artistic, creative, documentary wedding photography, it's got to be me ;)

—Apakah sepatutnya menjadi kriteria untuk seorang pelanggan memilih jurufoto?

—Stay away from Pinterest and keep it real. Real is always better. Make sure they do research and spend the money. This is the ONE area you don't what to skimp out on. If the bride and groom set a budget and it turns out that wedding photographers cost more, well than it's time to change the budget as well. Don't try to work with it. Make sure you see at least 2 full weddings. Photographers only want to show you their best.
