Fotograf Carlos Bruno

—Sunteți fotogenic?

—(Behind of my lens) ... Yes I do! ;)

—Cum ați ajuns în industria fotografiei?

—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.

—Care sunt cele mai importante componente ale unei fotografii bune, după părerea dvs?

—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.

—Vă place să călătoriți?

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

—Ce vă place cel mai mult la profesia dvs?

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

—Ce vă place cel mai puțin la profesia dvs?

—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.

—Care va fi viitorul fotografiei?

—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.

—Ce este special la genul de fotografie în care sunteți specializat?

—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.

—Cum răspundeți criticilor?

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

—Există tendințe în fotografia?

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

—Care ar trebui să fie criteriile după care un client să aleagă un 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.

—Ce lucruri sunt complet nepermise când fotografiați?

—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.

—Ce detalii de obicei neobservate de alții pot fi observate de un fotograf?

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

—Ce influențează valoarea fotografiei? Care sunt elementele ei?

—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.

—Ce persoană poate fi simbolul secolului XXI după părerea dvs?

—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.

I hate when I caught myself saying "never".

—Ce vă îngrijorează și de ce?

—Care este cel mai impresionant moment din viața dvs?

—"The" no ... everyday I find something impressive about LIFE, and once I'm inserted on this "novel" ...

—Dacă ați fi fost un personaj de desen animat, de carte sau de film, cine v-ar fi plăcut să fiți?

—Există vreun lucru pe care vă doriți să nu-l fi cumpărat dintre aparatele pe care le aveți? De ce?

—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.

—Cum vă pregătiți pentru a face fotografii mai bune?

—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.

—Activitatea cărei persoane v-a influențat cel mai mult în calitate de 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.

—Care este lucrul pe care vă doriți să-l fi știut când ați început să faceți fotografii?

—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.

—Ce doriți să exprimați prin fotografiile dvs?

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

—Ce vă motivează să continuați să faceți fotografii?

—Passion. Bills.

—Părinții dvs. ar fi trebuit să mai mai stricți sau mai puțin stricți?

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

—Dacă v-ați putea întoarce în timp, ce ați face diferit?

—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.

Acquaintances, all, the, time.
Can't stop in a full supermarket's line and I start ...
