Jurufoto Alex Constantinescu

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

—When it comes to any artistic approach, I don't consider there is a best person who does that as there are many styles to choose from. There are a few whom I appreciate, none is best, but all are good.

—Adakah anda seorang yang fotogenik?

—Only when I don't know I'm being photographed.

—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—My passion for portraits has started in high school. At one point it was just the natural course of action.

—The moment when people I work with look at their portrait I just took and go: "WHOW!"

—Apakah yang paling anda tidak suka mengenai kerjaya anda?

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

—The emotions are real.

—Bagaimanakah cara anda menangani kritikan?

—Depends on who is it coming from and if they have a valid argument or not.

—Adakah wujud sebarang trend dalam fotografi?

—Of course, from shooting style to editing. All are good as the client is happy with the results.

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

—I can't say it is a moment, more like a long term experience when I went to study abroad, in France.

—Siapakah yang menjadi sumber inspirasi hidup anda dan mengapa?

—I always try today to be a little better than yesterday. For me that is enough.

—Bagaimanakah anda mentakrifkan kejayaan? Bagaimanakah anda mengukurnya?

—I don't think there is a quantifiable method for success. Once we get to whatever moment we believed we could consider ourselves successful, it will change into something else. As long as we strive to be better in life, I believe it is a successful strategy.

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