—Susan Stripling.

—Hoe bent u beland in de fotografie-industrie?

—In 2004 I got a digital camera for Christmas, back when digital cameras weren't attached to every device. I was facinated with how you could freeze time, and then view the past later. I couldn't set it down. A few years later I shot my first wedding, fell in love with it and 10 years later have shot over 200.

—Bent u fotogeniek?

—Sometimes... If I've gotten enough sleep and have a glass of wine or two

—Sometimes very demanding which leaves me little space for family, having to recharge batteries every evenings, waiting for downloading pictures, sometimes chaining up days of shooting and having to drive long distances while being tired and sleepy.

—Hoe gaat u om met kritiek?

—It depends. I'm very committed into my job and I'm very generous in what I do (always deliver more photos than promise). I cannot do this job halfway. Therefore, I don't like people criticizing what I do since they don't know how much I give into what i do.

—Wat is er totaal uit den boze bij het fotograferen?

—Getting distracted by people, girls, checking the phone at important moments, talk loud at official ceremonies... Totally prohibited to drink alcohol at a Wedding even if the couple proposes. Even after the duty, Never drink because We all have to go back home.

—Wat ziet u de toekomst van fotografie?

—Digital imaging has unleash creativity from photographers. I do not see it change when I see how people love pictures so much and love creative pictures. I sometimes fear that phones will replace proper cameras since it is already happening into the hotel industry nowadays. They less and less call upon professional photographers but rely on enthusiasts "instagrammers" to remain active on social networks and use phone pictures and vintage look to keep "in".
