Fotograf Josh Jones

—Ste fotogenický?

—Sometimes... If I've gotten enough sleep and have a glass of wine or two

—Ako ste sa dostali do fotografického priemyslu?

—In 2004 I got a digital camera for Christmas, back when digital cameras weren't attached to every device. I was facinated with how you could freeze time, and then view the past later. I couldn't set it down. A few years later I shot my first wedding, fell in love with it and 10 years later have shot over 200.

—Aké sú podľa vás najdôležitejšie súčasti dobrej fotografie?

—A moment. For sure. If it doesn't have this it's not worth remembering. After that, certainly lighting and composition go a long way.

—Máte radi cestovanie?

—Absolutely. We have traveled all over the world taking photos!

—Čo máte najradšej na vašej profesii?

—I love that every weekend I get to be a huge part of someone's "most important day of their life."

—Čo sa vám páči najmenej na vašej profesii?

—Crazy church ladies that force me to shoot from 100 feet away in the balcony during the ceremony.

—Aká bude budúcnosť fotenia?

—More and more instant gratification. A one month turn around average for a wedding will turn into a day.

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

—The father of the bride that has never cried in public before. The look on the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time. The uncle that doesn't normally drink is dancing up a storm on the dance floor.

—Ako zvládate kritiku?

—I love it. As long as it is constructive it is one of the biggest gifts you can give to me.

—Sú nejaké trendy v oblasti fotografie?

—Always are. Always will be. I think the washed out vintage look is certainly "in style" right now, and I can't wait for it to go away.

—Čoho sa obávate a prečo?

—I've found that the energy I've wasted in the past on worrying about things was better spent on just doing what I was supposed anyway. No regrets. No fear.

—Boli by ste radšej obľúbení alebo rešpektovaní?

—Respected.

—Ako sa vzdelávate, aby ste robili lepšie fotografie?

—Getting out there and shooting. Practice. Practice. Practice. And never stop trying new things.

—Koho práca vás ovplyvnila najviac ako fotografa?

—Susan Stripling.

—Čo robíte vo svojom voľnom čase?

—I make wine. My wife and I own a small winery and vineyard here in Greenville, SC and love everything from the vines, to the land, to the people that come into our tasting room.

—Kedy ste úplne spokojní s vašou prácou?

—Never.

—Kde by ste radi žili?

—Greenville, SC. It is the best place in the world for me and my wife. If it wasn't, I would move. Life is too short to live in a place that isn't best for you and your family!
