Jurufoto Steve Wheller

—Adakah anda seorang yang fotogenik?

—I don't think so unless you catch me in a drunken moment :-)

—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—I suppose a lot like everyone else. Started doing photography as a hobby, photographing the landscape around Wales and then covered a friends wedding and then the story begins.

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

—Capturing the moment as it happens. A good photo should evoke the emotion of what happened in the exact moment the shutter was pressed. It should tell a story and leave memories for the people in the photo

—Adakah anda minat mengembara?

—I love travelling to different destinations and exploring the history, landscape and architecture and where possible use these in my photos to portray a story.

—Apakah yang paling anda sukai mengenai kerjaya anda?

—Meeting new people all the time

—Apakah yang paling anda tidak suka mengenai kerjaya anda?

—The long days

—Apakah masa depan fotografi?

—Who know's. Everyone's a photographer these days. I think technology is going to take over. I think wedding photography is not just about taking pictures is interacting with people on the day, making sure the day goes smoothly and capturing the day as the couple expect with a little spice thrown in. Everyone can take a picture but not everyone can evoke emotion.

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

—It is one of chance to capture someone's day as it happens. Hopefully they only get married once and I am there to record their day. I think if the couple looks back at my photos and it brings a smile to their face then I have done my job.

—Bagaimanakah cara anda menangani kritikan?

—I think quite well, initially it's a hit in the stomach but this drives me on to become a better photographer.

—Adakah wujud sebarang trend dalam fotografi?

—Not sure

—Apakah sepatutnya menjadi kriteria untuk seorang pelanggan memilih jurufoto?

—That they like the photographs first, then meet the photographer to see if they gel. You need to get on with your photographer as you're with them all day. Make sure the style of photography reflects their personality and don't be afraid to ask questions.

—Apakah perkara yang patut dielakkan semasa penggambaran?

—Nothing

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

—I think you have to have the eye to see what is going to happen and when it's going to happen plus have the ability to react to the quick changes in light and weather. That's where experience comes in, you only have one chance you have to nail it there and then.
