Fotograf Steve Wheller

—Ste fotogenický?

—I don't think so unless you catch me in a drunken moment :-)

—Ako ste sa dostali do fotografického priemyslu?

—I suppose a lot like everyone else. Started doing photography as a hobby, photographing the landscape around Wales and then covered a friends wedding and then the story begins.

—Aké sú podľa vás najdôležitejšie súčasti dobrej fotografie?

—Capturing the moment as it happens. A good photo should evoke the emotion of what happened in the exact moment the shutter was pressed. It should tell a story and leave memories for the people in the photo

—Máte radi cestovanie?

—I love travelling to different destinations and exploring the history, landscape and architecture and where possible use these in my photos to portray a story.

—Čo máte najradšej na vašej profesii?

—Meeting new people all the time

—Čo sa vám páči najmenej na vašej profesii?

—The long days

—Aká bude budúcnosť fotenia?

—Who know's. Everyone's a photographer these days. I think technology is going to take over. I think wedding photography is not just about taking pictures is interacting with people on the day, making sure the day goes smoothly and capturing the day as the couple expect with a little spice thrown in. Everyone can take a picture but not everyone can evoke emotion.

—Čo je výnimočné na žánri fotografií, na ktorý sa špecializujete?

—It is one of chance to capture someone's day as it happens. Hopefully they only get married once and I am there to record their day. I think if the couple looks back at my photos and it brings a smile to their face then I have done my job.

—Ako zvládate kritiku?

—I think quite well, initially it's a hit in the stomach but this drives me on to become a better photographer.

—Sú nejaké trendy v oblasti fotografie?

—Not sure

—Aké by mal mať zákazník kritérium pri výbere fotografa?

—That they like the photographs first, then meet the photographer to see if they gel. You need to get on with your photographer as you're with them all day. Make sure the style of photography reflects their personality and don't be afraid to ask questions.

—Čomu sa určite vyhnúť pri práci?

—Nothing

—Aké detaily, ktoré zvyčajne prejdú bez povšimnutia, si môže fotograf všimnúť?

—I think you have to have the eye to see what is going to happen and when it's going to happen plus have the ability to react to the quick changes in light and weather. That's where experience comes in, you only have one chance you have to nail it there and then.
