Jurufoto Tom Wishart

—Pertama sekali – siapakah yang boleh anda namakan sebagai jurufoto terbaik di Swanage, United Kingdom? :)

—I'd have to put my hand on heart and name Murray and Myself as the best wedding photographers in Swanage

—Adakah anda seorang yang fotogenik?

—Oh hell no, but the more time I spend in front of the camera the better I am at having my photograph taken

—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—I am the son of a photography teacher, discovering my passion for photography and playing with pinhole cameras at the age of three. He was then trained as a photojournalist and found that shooting weddings were my ideal creative outlet. As a wedding photographer I can combine so many different aspects and techniques into my work. I have since developed a passion for capturing people’s natural characters and emotions as well as incorporating experimental photographic techniques into my wedding photography.

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

—Capturing the true emotion of the moment and conveying it well. If i can produce an image that required looking at more than once to understand it I am happy.

—Adakah anda minat mengembara?

—Absolutely, I have spent time travelling around Europe, South America, North America and Australia burning through film and memory cards like there was no tomorrow.

—Apakah yang paling anda sukai mengenai kerjaya anda?

—Meeting brides and grooms and being a part of their wonderful weddings. Also being able to work with one of my best friends to create something we are both passionate about.

—Apakah yang paling anda tidak suka mengenai kerjaya anda?

—The incredibly long and sometimes unsocial hours spent working on images

—Apakah masa depan fotografi?

—I think the standards of wedding photography will continue to steadily improve as those at the top of their game differentiate themselves from the crowd. I also believe that available technology will have a major impact on the way we work and the equipment we work with.

—Always, but I believe in keeping them at a considered arms length. I think wedding photography should be timeless, god forbid any of my clients look back at their images and think they look dated.

—Apakah sepatutnya menjadi kriteria untuk seorang pelanggan memilih jurufoto?
