Jurufoto Anton Blinkenberg Zeuthen

—Adakah anda seorang yang fotogenik?

—Everything is relative. My parents were never avid photographers, and now I spend most of the time behind the camera!

—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—I bid on a wedding on a freelance forum and my bid turned out to be 1/10th the price of the second cheapest. I was honest about my experience, but showed some portraits I'd done, and that was enough to convince them to hire me. The photos of the couple with the horses are from my very first wedding. After that, my newly acquired portfolio did the rest.

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

—It's all about composition, lighting and posing. A photo is only as strong as it's weakest link. If lighting, composition and posing is great, that can help make up for bad weather or a not so good location.

—Adakah anda minat mengembara?

—More than anything! In fact I love traveling so much, that I offer free-of-charge destination wedding photography, as long as you pay airfare and living expenses.

—Apakah yang paling anda sukai mengenai kerjaya anda?

—Photography is my hobby and my passion. An added bonus is that I get payed to do what I love. Being a wedding photographer is extremely rewarding, as you spend all day with a crazy in love couple and everybody around you are at their happiest.

—Apakah yang paling anda tidak suka mengenai kerjaya anda?

—Carrying gear, which is why I shoot Sony.

—Apakah masa depan fotografi?

—I do hope that the wedding photography market will come together. As i see it, there are a giant surplus of supply in the market, far exceeding demand. The availability of cheap but good cameras have made everyone a photographer, and the market has been flooded. I don't say that photography requires an education – I don't have one, and I still call myself a photographer. I do however believe that being a good wedding photographer requires more than just gear, it requires creative sense and instinct.

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

—On the big day the walls come crashing down and the emotions come to the surface. Wedding photography are unique in the sense that it allows for capturing emotions that a normal portrait session wouldn't.

—Bagaimanakah cara anda menangani kritikan?

—"Artists are largely, egos covered in skin, and prone to bruising." I read that in an article the other day and found it astoundingly precise. I am no better, but I do believe that constructive criticism makes you a better photographer, and I strife to listen and learn as much as I can from others.

—Adakah wujud sebarang trend dalam fotografi?

—As digital cameras and retouching technique develop, the boundaries are pushed and the sky's the limit. I believe that the expectations to wedding photographers are rising rapidly, creating a positive trend for honing you skills and becoming a better photographer.

—Apakah sepatutnya menjadi kriteria untuk seorang pelanggan memilih jurufoto?

They should choose a photographer that matches their visions, not try to change the photographer to match them.

—Apakah perkara yang patut dielakkan semasa penggambaran?

—Attracting attention, plain and simple.

—Apakah perincian yang selalunya terlepas tanpa disedari namun boleh disedari oleh seorang jurufoto?

This is the first time the couple is alone after they've been wed, and this is a unique opportunity that only the photographer can capture.
