Фотограф Marius Tudor

—Вы фотогеничны?

—My mother loves all my pictures, she belives I am photogenic!

—Как вы попали в индустрию фотографии?

—I have started almost 6 years ago after I met my love Gabriela. I did not start with shooting flowers, but I took it straight the hard way. Three months after I grabbed my first semi-professional camera I shot for free my first wedding. Since then, I shot almost 200 weddings and 100 baptisms.

—Как вы считаете, какие самые важные составляющие хорошей фотографии?

—I strongly belive in a moment as the first component and I am always fighting to find it. Before finding the moment, I scout for the best light condition and I am making some composition scenarios. Having all those elements in my mind I start to shoot until I get what I want. Sometimes nothing happens in the frame, but patience is my ally.

—Любите путешествовать?

—I love to travel and I belive seeing as many places as I can helps me to develop as a man.

—Что в вашей профессии вам нравится больше всего?

—I love people and the fact that I always have to be on alert! I do my best to never be bored. My couples gives me the energy to go forward.

—Что в вашей профессии вам нравится меньше всего?

—I would love to have more time to visit my family.

—Каким вы видите будущее фотографии?

—I think we have to understand the new generation, people between 20 and 25 years. They are different than the people we've shot before and trying to adapt to their way of living, thinking and acting will be the next step in our business. The future of wedding photography stays in crazy shots. Traditional is dying.

—Что делает жанр фотографии, в котором вы снимаете, особенным?

—What's special? It's special because we connect new people every day (some of them are coming into my life to change it), it's special because I can wake up and go to sleep when I want, it's special because we have the power to make people happy.

—Как вы относитесь к критике?

—Sometimes it's hard to handle it, but I've learned lately how to manage situations like this. I started to listen more and even if I fight for my opinion if the criticism makes me think about how can I improve myself I am cleaning the trash.

—Есть ли в фотографии своя мода?

—There are no trends in wedding photography. If there is one, that one will be good photography. Everyone wants to improve it!

—По каким критериям клиенты должны выбирать своего фотографа?

—They have to choose a photographer who makes them feel confortable and who inspires confidence.

—Чего нельзя допускать при съемке?

—Что обычные люди упускают из виду, в то время как фотограф может увидеть?

—Что влияет на ценность фотографии? Из чего она складывается?

—Есть ли у вас какие-то табу в работе?

—As I said before, there's nothing forbidden.

—С кем вы хотели бы поснимать?

—Как вы определяете успех? Можно ли его измерить?

—We can define and measure only our success. What success means for me may not be the others success defintion. For me success means to balance your personal life with your career and to be happy with the balance, to be surrounded only by the people you love and to do only what you like to do.

—Что для вас важнее: любовь окружающих или уважение?

—Что вы хотите донести до людей с помощью фотографии?

I've seen a lot of photographers wasting their time during the wedding day taking pictures of the rings, wedding dress and other stuff like this while people let go their emotions.I want to show with my photographs how my clients felt their wedding day.

—Что побуждает вас продолжать заниматься фотографией?
