Photographer Steve Wheller

—Ikaw ba ay photogenic?

—I don't think so unless you catch me in a drunken moment :-)

—Paano ka nagsimula sa industriya ng photography?

—I suppose a lot like everyone else. Started doing photography as a hobby, photographing the landscape around Wales and then covered a friends wedding and then the story begins.

—Ano ang mga mahahalagang bahagi ng isang magandang larawan sa iyong opinyon?

—Capturing the moment as it happens. A good photo should evoke the emotion of what happened in the exact moment the shutter was pressed. It should tell a story and leave memories for the people in the photo

—Mahilig ka ba maglakbay?

—I love travelling to different destinations and exploring the history, landscape and architecture and where possible use these in my photos to portray a story.

—Ano ang pinakagusto mo sa iyong propesyon?

—Meeting new people all the time

—Ano ang hindi mo gusto sa iyong propesyon?

—The long days

—Ano ang magiging kinabukasan ng photography?

—Who know's. Everyone's a photographer these days. I think technology is going to take over. I think wedding photography is not just about taking pictures is interacting with people on the day, making sure the day goes smoothly and capturing the day as the couple expect with a little spice thrown in. Everyone can take a picture but not everyone can evoke emotion.

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

—It is one of chance to capture someone's day as it happens. Hopefully they only get married once and I am there to record their day. I think if the couple looks back at my photos and it brings a smile to their face then I have done my job.

—Paano ka tumatanggap ng pagpuna?

—I think quite well, initially it's a hit in the stomach but this drives me on to become a better photographer.

—Mayroon bang mga trend ang photography?

—Not sure

—Ano ang dapat na pamantayan ng isang customer sa pagpili ng photographer?

—That they like the photographs first, then meet the photographer to see if they gel. You need to get on with your photographer as you're with them all day. Make sure the style of photography reflects their personality and don't be afraid to ask questions.

—Ano ang mga bagay na dapat iwasan kapag kumukuha ng larawan?

—Nothing

—Ano ang mga detalye na kadalasan ay hindi napapansin na napapansin ng photographer?

—I think you have to have the eye to see what is going to happen and when it's going to happen plus have the ability to react to the quick changes in light and weather. That's where experience comes in, you only have one chance you have to nail it there and then.
