Photographer Tom Wishart

—Unang una sa lahat - sino ang papangalanan mo na pinakamahusay na photographer sa Swanage, United Kingdom? :)

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

—Ikaw ba ay photogenic?

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

—Paano ka nagsimula sa industriya ng photography?

—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.

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

—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.

—Mahilig ka ba maglakbay?

—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.

—Ano ang pinakagusto mo sa iyong propesyon?

—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.

—Ano ang hindi mo gusto sa iyong propesyon?

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

—Ano ang magiging kinabukasan ng photography?

—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.

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

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

—Paano ka tumatanggap ng pagpuna?

—As a tool to improve

—Mayroon bang mga trend ang photography?

—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.

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

—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

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

—Interrupting and obtruding the natural flow of a wedding day

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

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

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

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

—Sinong tao ang sumisimbolo sa ika-21 siglo sa iyong opinyon?

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

—Sino ang gusto mong kuhaan?

—Pretty much everything, particularly things that others wouldn't regard as photo worthy when they really are
