Fotograf Thomas Bone

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

—I would say Ravi Lakhani is up there with the best in Leicester. A lot of great photographers to choose from.

—Er du fotogen?

—Depends how many glasses of wine I have had...

—Hvordan ble du en del av fotografbransjen?

—11 years ago when I met a nightclub photographer on my first night out in Leicester. I took a huge interest in what he does and not long after bought a camera myself. I nagged and nagged him for weeks to help him on one of the nights he shoots until he let me. Not long after I landed myself my own job at a different club.

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

—I always seem to look for straight lines and symmetrical compositions. Even if I'm taking candids. I also LOVE a good crop :D

—I LOVE travelling. I was lucky enough to travel the world as a filmmaker for MTV for 5 and a half years.

—Hva liker du best med yrket ditt?

—I have been very lucky to never have had a 'real' 9-5 Job. I love that every job I do has its own unique challenge. I love getting to know a couple deeper than just a 'booking' which I find helps me a great deal when photographing their wedding day.

—Hva liker du minst med yrket ditt?

—Coronavirus.

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ut for fotografering?

—I'm not a huge fan of them yet but I do feel like mirrorless cameras will start to take over. Bang for buck mirrorless cameras are leaving the DSLR's behind in terms of specs and stats. But at the end of the day, like everyone says... It's about who's about the camera.

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