Fotoğrafçı Fiona Walsh

—Fotoğrafçılık endüstrisine nasıl giriş yaptınız?

—I'd just finished my degree in Psychology and was looking for a job. It was just my fate that jobs were hard to come by as it made me look at doing something I was already enjoying as a hobby – photography. I started to explore the business side of getting it up and running, and was so grateful at my first yes to a request to shadow another photographer. I was hooked from my first wedding.

—Sizce iyi bir fotoğrafın en önemli bileşenleri nelerdir?

—Composition, expression, and light I would say. I love creating compositions and lighting effects in the frame and doing something different. But technicalities aside, the moment/the meaning is a pretty important component that makes up a good photo.

—Seyahat etmeyi sever misiniz?

—I adore traveling. It shows me what else is going on in the world, I get to see moments between people, I get to see beautiful landscapes. traveling brings opportunity.

—Mesleğinizle ilgili en sevdiğiniz şey nedir?

—Stepping into a couples lives for just one day and being able to capture their connection. Hearing their joy when they see the images, showing them just how amazing they are.
I get so excited with couples in landscapes, especially sunsets. It feels as though the colours around them are putting on a show, a reflection of their emotions.

—Mesleğinizin en zor tarafı nedir?

—All the days in the office doing post production work takes me away from people, so it can be a little isolating at times.

—Fotoğrafçılığının geleceği konusunda neler düşünüyorsunuz?

—There's an interesting question, i was pondering this the other day. Who knows! Guests will probably have phone cameras with capabilities of my DSLR! But, there will always be a need for a wedding photographer. We see beyond what our eyes show us and give them something special; their story.

—Uzmanlaştığınız fotoğrafçılık türünü özel kılan şey nedir?

—Turning their emotions into a physical image they can look at, helping them feel closer to their most personal and meaningful feelings.

—Eleştiriler karşısında yaklaşımınız nasıl oluyor?

—With patience. I put myself in their shoes to understand where their coming from.

—Fotoğrafçılığı ile ilgili yeni trendler var mı?

—Sure. There are trends that come and go all the time. Trends in editing, trends in light effects, trends for capturing moments, capturing the natural behaviours of people around us, and maybe putting a different spin on how that's captured.

—Müşteriler fotoğrafçı seçerken ne gibi kriterleri göz önünde bulundurmalıdırlar?

—Rapport. The photographer will be so close to them all day long, so they must feel comfortable and trust in the photographer.
I think they should look for someone with experience, with imagination, with patience, with passion for their wedding, and good editing skills! though i guess that last one is subjective!

—Fotoğraf çekimi sırasında kesinlikle izin vermeyeceğiniz şeyler nelerdir?

—sometimes the officiant will prefer us not to photograph them when they are signing the register.
There isn't anything more that is specifically not allowed, it's just a matter of being delicate and knowing when and when not to shoot something.

—Bir fotoğrafçı diğerlerinin görmediği hangi detayları yakalayabilir?

—Technically, the way the light can fall on a person and enhance that moment. Same goes for the environment, such as reflections or a background that would complimentary.
Emotionally, we are part of their relationship in a closer way than a guest would. For some part of the day it is just us 3, so photographers get to witness a raw beauty in the way they love each other.

—Fotoğrafın değerini belirleyen şey nedir? Ne gibi unsurları vardır?

—Someone experiencing a moment that makes them feel so loved and so worthy.
Technically I love to use shallow depth of fields to make the image soft. I think this can add to the emotional value of a photo.
Beautiful landscapes, and architecture/patterns can influence the value too. So much can though!

—Mesleğinizle ilgili tabularınız var mı?

—Nope

—Birlikte fotoğraf çekmek istediğiniz birisi var mı?

—It would be fab to shoot with Two Mann Studios, and Ross Harvey!

—Hayatınızda sizi en çok etkileyen an?

—Walking on hot goal (or is that the craziest?!)
Meeting and photographing Bill Clinton was pretty fun.Getting married felt pretty impressive, couldn't have felt any happier or want to be anywhere else.

—Hayatınızda size ilham veren birisi var mı? Neden?

—All the photographers being fearless to be creative and bring us and the couple a new way of seeing things.Tony Robbins is pretty awesome. Sly Stallone's story of his determination and belief that he will be an actor in the movies is an inspiring one.

—Kısaca başarıyı tanımlar mısınız? Başarıyı nasıl ölçersiniz?

—hmmm, well I think a person is successful is they're happy.With weddings, I'd say a wedding is a success if the couple love their images.

—Beğenilmeyi mi yoksa saygınlığı mı tercih edersiniz?

—Respected I guess. Feeling a sense of respect can affect your self esteem differently to feeling liked.

—Bugüne kadar işinizle ilgili yaptığınız en büyük hatanız nedir?

—Thankfully, and touch wood, there aren't any big ones. I just always aim to learn from each wedding. e,g., there are little ones like making sure batteries are new and such, cards are close by in reach, surveying the area to know where to stand during the ceremony etc. Once I was photographing a ceremony outdoors in gravel. Every step I took was loud and crunchy!

Music! Because it enhances experiences. I even have an underwater mp3 player.

—no.

—Daha iyi fotoğraflar çekmek adına kendinizi nasıl geliştiriyorsunuz?

—Stay in touch with photographers, go on courses. Always look at what the light source is. Look for patterns and shadows.
Take my photos, finish, but then ask myself how else can I take this photo, how would someone else take this photo?
