Jurufoto Siemenjov Galdes

—Adakah anda seorang yang fotogenik?

—Only when I am not trying to be :)

—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—By pure coincidence and being in the right place at the right time. My first wedding was in 2012 and the rest as they say is history.

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

—Some old school photographers would say technique, composition, verticles etc. I think all the mentioned techniques are important however the moment and the framing for me are key.

—Adakah anda minat mengembara?

—I can't get enough of it ;)

—Apakah yang paling anda sukai mengenai kerjaya anda?

—Travelling, meeting new people and being able to tell a story through pictures.

—Apakah yang paling anda tidak suka mengenai kerjaya anda?

—To be honest I never thought much about this. In all fairness I can't think of anything else except the long hours.

—Apakah masa depan fotografi?

—Wedding photography is increasingly becoming more expressive and photographers around the world have pushed the bounderies and the art to scary new heights. I cannot say, though I am really curious to find out.

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

—Emotions! Not all weddings have it, but the ones who do, make it special beyond words.

—Bagaimanakah cara anda menangani kritikan?

—There is always something new to learn and good solid constructive criticism helps us become better and challange our routines. I am always eager to get feedback and I hope I can keep improving upon it.

—Adakah wujud sebarang trend dalam fotografi?

—ohhh yes! I think you see changing trends mostly depending on the country and continent.

—Apakah sepatutnya menjadi kriteria untuk seorang pelanggan memilih jurufoto?

—I can answer this because I myself was a groom not long ago. I looked for a photographer who cares, someone who knows documentary photography and someone that is not afraid to get the best out of us on the wedding day. We actually enjoyed our day more thanks to the photographer we chose! I knew exactly what he would deliver before I even booked him.

—Apakah perkara yang patut dielakkan semasa penggambaran?

—Forget your phone, e-mails, messages and all distractions. Most importantly avoid going un-prepared.
