Photographer Anne Ling

—Paano ka nagsimula sa industriya ng photography?

—My way in photography started 10 years ago with editorial and fashion. But I've always admired real people and real emotions much more. So that's how I've started documenting weddings and other important life moments in different countries.

—Mahilig ka ba maglakbay?

—I'm a passionate traveller. I've already been to 39 countries and I'm really happy that my work is international.

—Ano ang espesyal sa kategorya ng photography kung saan ka dalubhasa?

—Wedding photography combines documentary and fine art photography. So being a professional in both is crucial.

—Ano ang mga umiimpluwensya sa kahalagahan ng isang larawan? Ano ang mga element nito?

—Time influences the value of a photo the most. Photos are like good wine – the older the better. While capturing a wedding I always keep in mind that this photos will keep the memories through the years.

—Mayroon ka bang mga propesyonal na ipinagbabawal?

—I never photograph people in embarrassing situation or angle.

—Kaninong mga gawa ang may malaking nagimpluwensiya sa iyo bilang photographer?

—I've studied fine arts since childhood. So all the great painters, photographers, film directors influenced me a lot.

—Ano ang nais mong sabihin sa iyong mga larawan?

—That it is much more important to collect feelings not things. Nothing will be more valuable for you through the years than a teardrop on your mother's cheek or a sincere hug of your best friend or a picture of you two standing on the edge of the earth holding hands and looking to each other's eyes.

—Ano ang nag-uudyok sa iyo na ipagpatuloy ang pagkuha ng mga larawan?

—My clients, of course. When I send them their photos and receive an answer: "We are totally in love with our photos! Thank you so much, Anne!!!"
In such moments I feel absolutely happy!
