Fotograf Carlos Bruno

—Er du fotogen?

—(Behind of my lens) ... Yes I do! ;)

—Hvordan ble du en del av fotografbransjen?

—The pictures of my wedding came out a disaster.
Tons of hours behind of my computer using my skills on Photoshop to fix them and make my wife happy again to have back our best memories. Having Photography as part of my skills as Graphic Designer, connect two dots was a no brain: keep doing what I love and what the others call "work" and support a family that I was starting with her.

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

—Emotion with composition and composition with emotion.
I already saw tons of pictures that could not tell the story properly of 'that' moment just because an essential 'detail' was missing within the image.

—Er du glad i å reise?

—Well ... I'm Brazilian. 12,000 miles to reach here. 'Nuf to say ...

—Hva liker du best med yrket ditt?

—It's NOT a job. It's THE best way to support me and my family.

—Hva liker du minst med yrket ditt?

—I can understand customers that want get the max asking paying min.
It's part of OUR day-by-day get a good deal. I got it.
The disrespect with the professional is what I can't agree.
When you turn back and ask for a free-whatever-the-person-works -with, you became a unreasonable figure.

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ut for fotografering?

—I think as a profession, the only tendency is grow as form of art.
And with all these improves on the gear, I'm happy to be one in the middle of this fast evolving tornado.

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

—The capture of the present so in the future remind what happened of so amazing on the past about the moments they decided to start as a couple.

—Hvordan takler du kritikk?

—Every single critic is valid for improvement. Personal or professional.

—Finnes det noen trender innen fotografering?

—I'm not following trends anymore.
I try to get my inspiration for every work on the couples or in other filed of art.

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

—Empathy. What some couples can consider an amazing quality of images (from focus to show the exactly color of the table cloth) , for others those can have not a single drop of emotion.
For some couples the photographer will there just to make their money worth taking thousands of clicks, others become friend for life.

—Hvilke ting er absolutt ikke tillatt under fotograferingen?

—The couple has to determine where the respect can be "bend", but never broke. I already had couples that LOVED I went behind of the priest – without anyone noticed – to get their emotion what I could never get if I stayed where the priest determined I had to stay. In other moment, I refused to do something requested by the couple because I knew I will be very disrespect to the church.

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

—The emotion of the eyes.
Everyone can see one or other crying, but the moment BEFORE that, few people can read.

—Hva påvirker bildets verdi? Hvilke elementer inneholder det?

—The exactly right moment. And maybe can not be THE moment.
Sometimes, as I said above, the perfect image happens before, and sometimes happens after a situation.

—Hvilken person kan være symbolet på det 21. århundre etter din mening?

—Yourself.
I see tons of people looking for model of behavior in others meantime all you need is look inside and ask if you are doing will hurt someone or worst, yourself.

—The minimum necessary. To not get caught wasting time thinking IF I have to use the second choice of this or that.

—Er de noe blant dine gadgets du angrer på å ha kjøpt? Hvorfor?

—SEVERAL that I ended selling anyway. I believe a majority of the professionals when start like to give the best for the customers and want to be up front to the tendencies / new technologies. Take a good amount of the time to learn that you MAYBE loose or don't reach your usual "100%" in a first job that request that gadget, but you not necessary HAS TO HAVE all of them the market release.

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

—Asking for critics, as much as possible. Studying not only your craft but all others that has a certain link with visual approaches. Landscape is a wonderful example. On the field (a golf course for instance) you can find in a heart beat a best composition – if you know what your lenses are able to capture.

—Hvem sitt arbeid har inspirert deg mest som fotograf?

—Fashion world – the models know exactly where and when place their hands and how to bend their hips. Helps A LOT show your customers that you know what will be great for them in ANY physical complexion, they feel much more secure knowing you won't let them down and control a situation once they are not used to pose.
Painters – mostly the ones that knew how to play with the "Chiaro & Scuro" ... light and darkness.

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

—LISTEN the old school. They use to do the same amount of work (take picture – make images) using machines that need to be feed every 36 poses. Timing IS the key.

—Hva ønsker du å formidle gjennom dine bilder?

—Replicate the exactly (and make the observer feels) the emotions that were happening the moment I clicked them.

—Hva motiverer deg til å fortsette med fotografering?

—Passion. Bills.

—Skulle foreldrene dine ha vært mer eller mindre strenge?

—Probably a common answer but they did exactly what suppose to be done.

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

—I can't imagine anything different in my life.
It's a group of things and facts that co-exists amazingly well so, I know if something changed because I didn't feel good at the time I did/happened I will ending change a lot of other things. Butterfly effect.

—Hvem eller hva hater du?
