Fotograf Tom Wishart

—Pre svega, koga biste naveli kao najboljeg fotografa u svom gradu? :)

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

—Fotogenični ste?

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

—Kako ste ušli u svet fotografije?

—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.

—Šta smatrate da su ključni elementi dobre fotografije?

—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.

—Volite putovanja?

—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.

—Šta najviše volite u vezi sa svojim zanimanjem?

—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.

—Šta najmanje volite u vezi sa svojim zanimanjem?

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

—Kakva će biti budućnost fotografije?

—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.

—Šta je posebno kod vrste fotografije koja je vaša specijalnost?

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

—Kako podnosite kritiku?

—As a tool to improve

—Da li u fotografiji postoje trendovi?

—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.

—Šta treba da budu kriterijumi kada klijent bira 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

—Šta treba izbegavati kod snimanja?

—Interrupting and obtruding the natural flow of a wedding day

—Koje najčešće neprimetne detalje primećuje fotograf?

—So many things; relevant little details, unusual compositions, the best of light and colour

—Šta utiče na vrednost fotografije? Šta su njeni elementi?

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

—Za koju ličnost smatrate da bi mogla da bude simbol 21. veka?

—I don't think any single person can be a symbol for a 100 year period

—Ko vam je životna inspiracija i zašto?

—A multitude of things and people, but mainly being in the outdoor and nature
