Fotograf Mark Oliver

—Først og fremst, hvem vil du si er den beste fotografen i Timișoara, Romania? :)

—Its like asking who s the best singer, there s no real answer. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

—Er du fotogen?

—yes Im very photogenic, I've been also told I'm attractive but i believe that s just my biased girlfriend acting up

—Hvordan ble du en del av fotografbransjen?

—It started as a hobby usual stuff, landscapes, hdr s, cityscapes. And then I fell in love with portraits and thought on how to make money ou of what i love. After a "few small" investments Im now going on 5 years as a professional photographer.

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

—Light, composition, location and the moment captured wether is a portrait or couple shot

—Er du glad i å reise?

—yes

—Hva liker du best med yrket ditt?

—Post processing pictures JK. Traveling, meeting new people and making couples happy with my work

—Hva liker du minst med yrket ditt?

—Post processing pictures, culling in particular

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ut for fotografering?

—yes, something involving drone strobe lights that follow you everywhere and always give you Rembrandt lighting on your subjects, cameras with 10 recording from where you can use print screens in RAW format. Cameras and lenses so light that you can mount them on your head and work with no restrictions. I have to specify Im already on my third coffee so this "future" might not be for everybody. Its only 11 AM for god sake

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

—It combines the genres, you've got portrait photography, couple photography, group photography, detail photography, architecture photography, landscape photography, boudoir photography, crowd photography travel photography all this while shooting for an album and pressured by weather constraints, time constraints, mother in law yelling, uncles taking pictures in front of you. It' s brutal stuff i love it

—Hvordan takler du kritikk?

—I always make sure that my client know what I do and what my stile is so that the expectations are always met. I've never had any complaints from my clients. Other photographers are another thing and Im open for constructive criticism always
