Rozhovor
-
—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

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