Jurufoto Josh Jones

—Adakah anda seorang yang fotogenik?

—Sometimes... If I've gotten enough sleep and have a glass of wine or two

—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—In 2004 I got a digital camera for Christmas, back when digital cameras weren't attached to every device. I was facinated with how you could freeze time, and then view the past later. I couldn't set it down. A few years later I shot my first wedding, fell in love with it and 10 years later have shot over 200.

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

—A moment. For sure. If it doesn't have this it's not worth remembering. After that, certainly lighting and composition go a long way.

—Adakah anda minat mengembara?

—Absolutely. We have traveled all over the world taking photos!

—Apakah yang paling anda sukai mengenai kerjaya anda?

—I love that every weekend I get to be a huge part of someone's "most important day of their life."

—Apakah yang paling anda tidak suka mengenai kerjaya anda?

—Crazy church ladies that force me to shoot from 100 feet away in the balcony during the ceremony.

—Apakah masa depan fotografi?

—More and more instant gratification. A one month turn around average for a wedding will turn into a day.

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

—The father of the bride that has never cried in public before. The look on the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time. The uncle that doesn't normally drink is dancing up a storm on the dance floor.

—Bagaimanakah cara anda menangani kritikan?

—I love it. As long as it is constructive it is one of the biggest gifts you can give to me.

—Adakah wujud sebarang trend dalam fotografi?

—Always are. Always will be. I think the washed out vintage look is certainly "in style" right now, and I can't wait for it to go away.

—Apakah yang merisaukan anda, dan mengapa?

—I've found that the energy I've wasted in the past on worrying about things was better spent on just doing what I was supposed anyway. No regrets. No fear.

—Mana satu yang lebih penting bagi anda, disukai atau dihormati?

—Respected.

—Bagaimanakah anda meningkatkan diri untuk merakam gambar yang lebih baik?

—Getting out there and shooting. Practice. Practice. Practice. And never stop trying new things.

—Hasil kerja siapakah yang paling mempengaruhi anda sebagai jurufoto?

—Susan Stripling.

—Apakah yang anda lakukan pada masa lapang?

—I make wine. My wife and I own a small winery and vineyard here in Greenville, SC and love everything from the vines, to the land, to the people that come into our tasting room.

—Bilakah anda akan benar-benar berpuas hati dengan kerja anda?

—Never.

—Di manakah anda suka untuk tinggal?

—Greenville, SC. It is the best place in the world for me and my wife. If it wasn't, I would move. Life is too short to live in a place that isn't best for you and your family!
