Fotograf Brita B

—Hva er de viktigste komponentene i et bra bilde etter din mening?

—Quality, good light, but first and foremost emotion!

—Er du glad i å reise?

—Absolutely!

—Hva liker du best med yrket ditt?

—It's never the same, it's always somewhat challenging, so I never get bored, but I mostly love the fact that I can see how I improve myself with every single photograph.

—Hva liker du minst med yrket ditt?

—Sometimes it's the endless hours of photo editing.

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ut for fotografering?

—Too insane to imagine.

—Hva er det spesielle med den fotografisjanger du har spesialisert deg i?

—I love capturing people's real emotions. My photoshoots involve short walks, dancing, playfullness, movement etc. All of it makes it so much more real and special.

—Hvordan takler du kritikk?

—At frst I laugh, cry, hate all at the same time for a brief second and then I try to understand the critizism, is it a reliable source to change something, to learn from it and is it something I benefit from.
Because sometimes criticism comes from clients who simply want to haggle with price.

—Hva bør kriteriene være for en kunde som skal velge en fotograf?

—Portfolio is a big part of it, but make sure you like the person!Now matter how well a photographer offers you guidance or ideas during the photo shoot, if you don't feel comfortable with them, you won't get the desired result.

—Hvilke ting er absolutt ikke tillatt under fotograferingen?

—Starting to shoot from minute 1. If I have new clients, I take 10 minutes to walk to the destination and simply chat. With those ten minutes they forget that I am a stranger and real peronalities and emotions start to surface.

—Hvilke detaljer, som vanligvis ingen ville lagt merke til, kan en fotograf fange opp?

—I always notice bad posture or tension. I have my own little tricks to eliminate such things.

—Hvem kunne du tenkt deg å fotografere sammen med?

—Rankin, I'd be happy to just look at him shoot too.

—Hvem inspirerer deg i ditt liv, og hvorfor?

—Jane Goodall, for me she reminds us that we are guests on this planet and that we should take care of life that we so eagerly want to destroy.

—Hvordan definerer du suksess? Hvordan måler du graden av suksess?

—Success = satisfaction
You measure it with your own happiness.

—Foretrekker du å bli likt eller respektert?

—Respected, simply likeness is so much easier to achieve.

—Når du skal ut å reise; hva tar du med deg, og hvorfor?

—Camera and drone gear. I don't think I need to explain.

—Hvordan utdanner du deg for stadig å ta bedre bilder?

—Practice, practice, practice and at least once a year I try to take an interesting new class.
Also, working with other photographers and scrolling through good photography on Instagram is a good way to get the idea juices flowing.

—Hva spesifikt skulle du ønske at du visste da du begynte å fotografere?

—Editing tricks I know now.

—Hva ønsker du å formidle gjennom dine bilder?

—World can be a happy and joyful place.

—Hva motiverer deg til å fortsette med fotografering?

—My own improvement in it.

—Hva ville du ha gjort annerledes hvis du kunne reise tilbake i tid?

—I would not spend money on unnecessary gear.

—Hva tenker du angående liv på andre planeter?

—Wish I could photograph it ;)

—Hvem har du absolutt ingen respekt for?

—Peope who complain about things they could change while sitting down and doing nothing.

—Når er du helt fornøyd med arbeidet ditt?

—This happens very rarely. I'm very happy with my work pretty much all the time, but I feel like there is always space for improvement. I could be doing this for 60 years and I would still feel te same way.

—Tror du på tradisjonelle manne- og kvinneroller?

—What's traditional? What does it mean? Traditions are different all over the world, they mostly come into our lives trhough media, through other people or from a different timeframe. If people and pretty much everything else evolve with time, why shouldn't the roles for men and women. So no, I do not believe in them in a way that makes the media a clickmagnet nowadays. I trust in nature and I believe men and women are different, they should celebrate it, but their right to do things have to be equal!

—Har du lett for å få nye venner?

—50/50

—Liker du hunder eller katter?

—Dogs all the way.

—Hvem eller hva hater du?

—Broccoli

—Det beste i livet er:

—Now

—Det mest irriterende i livet er:

—When you are stuck with a problem that's out of your hands.

—Kan du komme med noen gode råd til fotografer i startfasen?

—Don't be afraid.
If you mess it up, do it again.
Have a back up plan.
PRACTICE

—Forestill deg at romvesener ankommer jorda, og at du er den første de treffer. Hva ville du sagt til dem?

—I am such a curious person I'd probably have a week long converstion about them, their life and where they come from. I hope their friendly tourists in that case :D

—Hvis du ble spurt om å spille inn en film, hvilken sjanger ville den være?

—Action! I love the intence and diverce camerawork. That gengre gives plenty of opportunities to do it.
