Photographer Alex Constantinescu

—Unang una sa lahat - sino ang papangalanan mo na pinakamahusay na photographer sa Bucharest, Romania? :)

—When it comes to any artistic approach, I don't consider there is a best person who does that as there are many styles to choose from. There are a few whom I appreciate, none is best, but all are good.

—Ikaw ba ay photogenic?

—Only when I don't know I'm being photographed.

—Paano ka nagsimula sa industriya ng photography?

—My passion for portraits has started in high school. At one point it was just the natural course of action.

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

—I believe it is more important the message relayed by the photographer and the way it reaches the audience, rather than how a photo looks.

—Does whiskey taste better as it ages?

—Ano ang pinakagusto mo sa iyong propesyon?

—The moment when people I work with look at their portrait I just took and go: "WHOW!"

—Ano ang hindi mo gusto sa iyong propesyon?

—I believe every artist is the most critical person towards themselves. So yes, there are plenty. But if there weren't, we wouldn't evolve and get better.

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

—The emotions are real.

—Paano ka tumatanggap ng pagpuna?

—Depends on who is it coming from and if they have a valid argument or not.

—Mayroon bang mga trend ang photography?

—Of course, from shooting style to editing. All are good as the client is happy with the results.

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

—Sino ang nagbibigay inspirasyon sa iyong buhay at bakit?

—I always try today to be a little better than yesterday. For me that is enough.

—Paano mo binibigyang kahulugan ang tagumpay? Paano mo tinitimbang ito?

—I don't think there is a quantifiable method for success. Once we get to whatever moment we believed we could consider ourselves successful, it will change into something else. As long as we strive to be better in life, I believe it is a successful strategy.

—Mas pipiliin mo bang magustuhan o nirerespeto?
