Jurufoto Chris Sansom

—Adakah anda seorang yang fotogenik?

—Hell no!

—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—To be completely honest I finished Film School and didn't want to make films, so I looked for a way to make a living from Photography and weddings just made sense. There wasn't a burning desire to be involved with weddings. I learned to build a website and offered cheap photography and within two weeks I'd shot my first wedding. During that time I saw Rangefinder magazine and read American Photo's 'Worlds top ten' list and I was completely inspired. When I shot the first wedding I was totally and utterly hooked, I just loved everything about it. Soon after Verity joined be and we never looked back.

—Adakah anda minat mengembara?

—Yes, although until recently I've not done much!

—Apakah yang paling anda sukai mengenai kerjaya anda?

—Getting to do what I love with the person I love most in the world. What's not to like!?

—Apakah yang paling anda tidak suka mengenai kerjaya anda?

—Some of the attitudes we encountered when we first started out, with some people worrying more about what others are doing than themselves.

—Apakah masa depan fotografi?

—Who knows! Everything seems to go full circle so I'm sure a lot of the techniques people are using now will still be popping up in the future.

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

—It's a day that is absolutely jam packed with photo opportunities. As photographers all any of us can ask for is a great moment or two and weddings provide a bounty of great moments. Not to mention the fact that everyones cheerful and it's just a flippin' awesome job!

—Bagaimanakah cara anda menangani kritikan?

—We don't really get much criticism! Certainly not from clients, but if we did we would just try to rectify the situation any way that we could to ensure they still had a great experience. If it's criticism from peers, mentors or each other then we know they have our best interests at heart and try to take it on board so we can improve next time.

—Adakah wujud sebarang trend dalam fotografi?

—Loads! Too many to list and a few that really wind me up. I won't start on those.

—They have to connect with their photographer and be comfortable sharing their day with them. They obviously have to love the photos too!

—Apakah perkara yang patut dielakkan semasa penggambaran?

—Over here in the UK we're pretty reserved when it comes to the ceremony. Our officiants don't tend to like us getting too up close and personal so we have to be careful not to overstep any boundaries there. Oh and other suppliers trying to push you out of the way....but that's another story!

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

—Intimate moments between the bride and groom,

—Apakah yang boleh mempengaruhi nilai sekeping foto? Apakah elemen nilai itu?

—Waaaaay to much to write down. From personal connection to technical skill. It all depends on who's judging it, I know most the photos I consider to be valuable aren't technically great, they just have emotional significance. Of course if you can get an emotionally significant photo that is technically sound then you're onto a winner!
