攝影師 Anton Blinkenberg Zeuthen

—您上相嗎？

—Everything is relative. My parents were never avid photographers, and now I spend most of the time behind the camera!

—您如何開始從事攝影行業？

—I bid on a wedding on a freelance forum and my bid turned out to be 1/10th the price of the second cheapest. I was honest about my experience, but showed some portraits I'd done, and that was enough to convince them to hire me. The photos of the couple with the horses are from my very first wedding. After that, my newly acquired portfolio did the rest.

—您認為一張好照片裡最重要的元素有哪些？

—It's all about composition, lighting and posing. A photo is only as strong as it's weakest link. If lighting, composition and posing is great, that can help make up for bad weather or a not so good location.

—您熱愛旅行嗎？

—More than anything! In fact I love traveling so much, that I offer free-of-charge destination wedding photography, as long as you pay airfare and living expenses.

—您最喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—Photography is my hobby and my passion. An added bonus is that I get payed to do what I love. Being a wedding photographer is extremely rewarding, as you spend all day with a crazy in love couple and everybody around you are at their happiest.

—您最不喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—Carrying gear, which is why I shoot Sony.

—攝影的前景如何？

—I do hope that the wedding photography market will come together. As i see it, there are a giant surplus of supply in the market, far exceeding demand. The availability of cheap but good cameras have made everyone a photographer, and the market has been flooded. I don't say that photography requires an education – I don't have one, and I still call myself a photographer. I do however believe that being a good wedding photographer requires more than just gear, it requires creative sense and instinct.

—您擅長的攝影類型有什麼特別之處？

—On the big day the walls come crashing down and the emotions come to the surface. Wedding photography are unique in the sense that it allows for capturing emotions that a normal portrait session wouldn't.

—您如何應對批評？

—"Artists are largely, egos covered in skin, and prone to bruising." I read that in an article the other day and found it astoundingly precise. I am no better, but I do believe that constructive criticism makes you a better photographer, and I strife to listen and learn as much as I can from others.

—攝影有什麼潮流？

—As digital cameras and retouching technique develop, the boundaries are pushed and the sky's the limit. I believe that the expectations to wedding photographers are rising rapidly, creating a positive trend for honing you skills and becoming a better photographer.

They should choose a photographer that matches their visions, not try to change the photographer to match them.
