Jurufoto Studio By Ana Lui

—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—The Studio was created by Ana Lui back in 2007 and we have been shooting ever since. Ana is a great teacher and she quality checks every single image that goes out of the studio. We are very proud to have such high standards and so much experience. With over 100 weddings photographed and all our couples happy we photograph a limited number of weddings per year to give each couple bespoke service and all our energy.

—Apakah yang paling anda sukai mengenai kerjaya anda?

—We love meeting inspiring and amazing people, seeing new places and capturing the most unique moments for our clients. There is a sense of trust and fun that we love the most.

—Apakah masa depan fotografi?

—We believe in timelessness, in creating images that would last forever and won't go out of fashion in 5 – 10 years. We believe simplicity, use of natural light and storytelling is the key to success.

—Adakah wujud sebarang trend dalam fotografi?

—Currently there are two visible trends going. One with light, soft, feminine and romantic "fine art" feel. Mostly backlit and possibly shot on analogue film or edited to look like film. And another trend that is darker, moodier and more contrasty a lot of times exposed for highlights not for shadows. Both are simply amazing and it's a great way for each client to choose the style they are drawn to the most.

—Apakah sepatutnya menjadi kriteria untuk seorang pelanggan memilih jurufoto?

—In our opinion the bride and groom should be comfortable and feel at ease with their photographer. Trusting each other and being comfortable is the most important.

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

—We are very visual so any bags lying around, trash, plastic bottles, cables and cords around the bride when getting ready, crooked tie, one piece of hair sticking out. We prefer fixing this before pressing the shutter. There is nothing worse than hair stuck to the brides face or twisted tie on every single photo, which couple would pick up on after getting the images back.

—Hasil kerja siapakah yang paling mempengaruhi anda sebagai jurufoto?

—For sure Ana Lui Photography, Jose Villa, KT Merry, Tec Petaja and Elizabeth Messina.

—Apakah yang ingin anda sampaikan melalui foto anda?

—We want our clients to have beautiful memories that convey the details, portraits of the family, guests and capture the atmosphere of the whole place. We want our couples to have photographs from the location too, from the island, from the place they love to remind them how they felt being there.

—Perkara terbaik dalam hidup ialah:

—Chocolate, diving, CrossFit, food, good wine, sandy feet, cuddling dogs, jumping on a plane to go to exotic places, gardening
