Jurufoto Anne Ling

—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—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.

—Adakah anda minat mengembara?

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

—Apakah yang istimewa dalam genre fotografi yang anda sedang mengkhusus?

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

—Apakah yang boleh mempengaruhi nilai sekeping foto? Apakah elemen nilai itu?

—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.

—Adakah anda ada sebarang tabu profesional?

—I never photograph people in embarrassing situation or angle.

—Hasil kerja siapakah yang paling mempengaruhi anda sebagai jurufoto?

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

—Apakah yang ingin anda sampaikan melalui foto anda?

—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.

—Apakah yang memotivasikan anda untuk terus mengambil gambar?

—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!
