Fotograf Brita B

—Vilka är enligt dig de viktigaste komponenterna för ett bra fotografi?

—Quality, good light, but first and foremost emotion!

—Älskar du att resa?

—Absolutely!

—Vad gillar du mest med ditt yrke?

—It's never the same, it's always somewhat challenging, so I never get bored, but I mostly love the fact that I can see how I improve myself with every single photograph.

—Vad gillar du minst med ditt yrke?

—Sometimes it's the endless hours of photo editing.

—Hur kommer framtiden för fotografering att se ut?

—Too insane to imagine.

—Vad är det speciella med den fotografigenre du specialiserar i?

—I love capturing people's real emotions. My photoshoots involve short walks, dancing, playfullness, movement etc. All of it makes it so much more real and special.

—Hur hanterar du kritik?

—At frst I laugh, cry, hate all at the same time for a brief second and then I try to understand the critizism, is it a reliable source to change something, to learn from it and is it something I benefit from.
Because sometimes criticism comes from clients who simply want to haggle with price.

—Vad bör kriterierna vara för en kund som ska välja en fotograf?

—Portfolio is a big part of it, but make sure you like the person!Now matter how well a photographer offers you guidance or ideas during the photo shoot, if you don't feel comfortable with them, you won't get the desired result.

—Vad är absolut inte tillåtet under fotograferingen?

—Starting to shoot from minute 1. If I have new clients, I take 10 minutes to walk to the destination and simply chat. With those ten minutes they forget that I am a stranger and real peronalities and emotions start to surface.

—Vilka detaljer kan en fotograf fånga som vanligtvis går obemärkta?

—I always notice bad posture or tension. I have my own little tricks to eliminate such things.

—Vem skulle du vilja fotografera med?

—Rankin, I'd be happy to just look at him shoot too.

—Vem är din inspirationskälla i livet och varför?

—Jane Goodall, for me she reminds us that we are guests on this planet and that we should take care of life that we so eagerly want to destroy.

—Hur definierar du framgång? Hur mäter du framgång?

—Success = satisfaction
You measure it with your own happiness.

—Föredrar du att vara omtyckt eller respekterad?

—Respected, simply likeness is so much easier to achieve.

—Vad tar du med dig och varför när du är ute och reser?

—Camera and drone gear. I don't think I need to explain.

—Hur utbildar du dig själv för att bli en bättre fotograf?

—Practice, practice, practice and at least once a year I try to take an interesting new class.
Also, working with other photographers and scrolling through good photography on Instagram is a good way to get the idea juices flowing.

—Finns det någonting specifikt som du önskar att du visste när du började fotografera?

—Editing tricks I know now.

—Vad försöker du säga med dina fotografier?

—World can be a happy and joyful place.

—Vad motiverar dig att fortsätta att ta bilder?

—My own improvement in it.

—Om du kunde resa tillbaka i tiden, vad skulle du göra annorlunda?

—I would not spend money on unnecessary gear.

—Tror du att det finns liv på andra planeter?

—Wish I could photograph it ;)

—Finns det någon person som du inte har någon respekt för?

—Peope who complain about things they could change while sitting down and doing nothing.

—När är du fullständigt tillfredsställd med ditt arbete?

—This happens very rarely. I'm very happy with my work pretty much all the time, but I feel like there is always space for improvement. I could be doing this for 60 years and I would still feel te same way.

—Tror du på de traditionella mans- och kvinnorollerna?

—What's traditional? What does it mean? Traditions are different all over the world, they mostly come into our lives trhough media, through other people or from a different timeframe. If people and pretty much everything else evolve with time, why shouldn't the roles for men and women. So no, I do not believe in them in a way that makes the media a clickmagnet nowadays. I trust in nature and I believe men and women are different, they should celebrate it, but their right to do things have to be equal!

—Är det enkelt för dig att skaffa vänner?

—50/50

—Gillar du hundar eller katter?

—Dogs all the way.

—Vem eller vad hatar du?

—Broccoli

—Det bästa med livet är:

—Now

—Det mest irriterande med livet är:

—When you are stuck with a problem that's out of your hands.

—Kan du ge några råd till nya fotografer?

—Don't be afraid.
If you mess it up, do it again.
Have a back up plan.
PRACTICE

—Om utomjordingar skulle komma till jorden, och du är den första personen som de träffar, vad skulle du säga till dem?

—I am such a curious person I'd probably have a week long converstion about them, their life and where they come from. I hope their friendly tourists in that case :D

—Om du skulle bli tillfrågad att spela in en film, vilken genre skulle det vara?

—Action! I love the intence and diverce camerawork. That gengre gives plenty of opportunities to do it.
