Fotograf Tom Wishart

—Po prvé a predovšetkým - koho môžete vymenovať ako najlepšieho fotografa vo vašom meste? :)

—I'd have to put my hand on heart and name Murray and Myself as the best wedding photographers in Swanage

—Ste fotogenický?

—Oh hell no, but the more time I spend in front of the camera the better I am at having my photograph taken

—Ako ste sa dostali do fotografického priemyslu?

—I am the son of a photography teacher, discovering my passion for photography and playing with pinhole cameras at the age of three. He was then trained as a photojournalist and found that shooting weddings were my ideal creative outlet. As a wedding photographer I can combine so many different aspects and techniques into my work. I have since developed a passion for capturing people’s natural characters and emotions as well as incorporating experimental photographic techniques into my wedding photography.

—Aké sú podľa vás najdôležitejšie súčasti dobrej fotografie?

—Capturing the true emotion of the moment and conveying it well. If i can produce an image that required looking at more than once to understand it I am happy.

—Máte radi cestovanie?

—Absolutely, I have spent time travelling around Europe, South America, North America and Australia burning through film and memory cards like there was no tomorrow.

—Čo máte najradšej na vašej profesii?

—Meeting brides and grooms and being a part of their wonderful weddings. Also being able to work with one of my best friends to create something we are both passionate about.

—Čo sa vám páči najmenej na vašej profesii?

—The incredibly long and sometimes unsocial hours spent working on images

—Aká bude budúcnosť fotenia?

—I think the standards of wedding photography will continue to steadily improve as those at the top of their game differentiate themselves from the crowd. I also believe that available technology will have a major impact on the way we work and the equipment we work with.

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

—The conveyance of real emotion and the ability to take someone back to the feeling of a certain time and place with an image.

—Ako zvládate kritiku?

—As a tool to improve

—Sú nejaké trendy v oblasti fotografie?

—Always, but I believe in keeping them at a considered arms length. I think wedding photography should be timeless, god forbid any of my clients look back at their images and think they look dated.

—Aké by mal mať zákazník kritérium pri výbere fotografa?

—The quality and style of the images should match the couples requirements but as equally important they should get along like a house on fire. After all we are the only suppliers with a bride and groom for their entire day

—Čomu sa určite vyhnúť pri práci?

—Interrupting and obtruding the natural flow of a wedding day

—Čo ovplyvňuje hodnotu fotografie? Aké sú jej prvky?

—How long is a piece of string? Virtually everything influences the value of a photograph and its elements.
