攝影師 Calin Vurdea

—您上相嗎？

—I try to be! But that does not come out always as planned ;)

—您如何開始從事攝影行業？

—I got the bug after my wedding, and thanks to my photographer and now good friend, i started walking this path.

—Feeling, feeling, some more feeling. Then light.

—您熱愛旅行嗎？

—Yes, a lot!

—您最喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—The best thing about wedding photography is that i can get to welcome a lot of people of different kind in my little "memory factory", where we can preserve their love and emotion for them to treasure for the rest of their lives.

—您最不喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—Editing? Joking aside, i wish i would have the time to create more memories with brides and grooms all over the world.

—攝影的前景如何？

—We are shaping this future as we speak, all of us. Everyone can set a milestone, regardless if one thinks he cannot do it all. Also, i think that each of us can be the future of wedding photography, we just have to try harder!

—您擅長的攝影類型有什麼特別之處？

—Weddings are unique, in most of the cases it is an event that only happens once in a lifetime. And as a wedding photographer i am there to capture that moment, the start on a different path for two people, to represent their love, their feelings, in a photograph.

—您如何應對批評？

—I am not arguing, i am merely explaining why i am correct. :)

—攝影有什麼潮流？

—There have been many trends over the years. The key to success is keeping it simple, natural and classy, so that the couple can enjoy your photography for their entire life.

—客戶選擇攝影師的標準有哪些？

—The wedding photographer's style should be able to represent the couple who has chosen him, that is the main criterion, in my opinion.

—拍攝時應該避免哪些事項？

—Swearing, bossing people around, generally behaving not accordingly to the event one is attending to.

—通常不會被注意，但攝影師卻能留意的細節有哪些呢？

—I think a wedding photographer sees all the small parts of the big picture called wedding, thus allowing him to create a story. One can also see those small things, that sometimes express more than what "common people" could notice.

—什麼事物會影響照片的價值？它包含了哪些因素？

—Feelings. For me, those boost the value of a photo. After that, light and composition in the frame. Also, it should tell a story, lead your mind somewhere.

—您認為哪個人可以被視為21世紀的代表人物？

—I think each of us should be a symbol. I cannot choose a person. He can be the firefighter who rescues a cat from a house in flames, or the photographer who captures in a photo the last smile of the old grandfather.

—您想拍誰？

—Photographically speaking? i think anyone with a strong life story.

—您有任何職業禁忌嗎？

—Touching people, swearing, being wasted on a shoot, and so on.

—Well, i think i would like to shoot with Jasmine Star, or Jerry Ghionis.
Apart those, i really enjoy shooting with my wife, and together we create some nice photos!

—您人生中印象最深刻的一刻是什麼？

—The day i bought my first DSLR and then realized, it was not all about the camera!

—如果您是個卡通、小說或電影角色，您想成為誰？為什麼？

—Dorian Gray, because all of us have some selfishness lying around somewhere.

—誰能在生命中激發您的靈感？為什麼？

—My wife, i always want to be so "superman"-ish, to do so many things at once!

—您如何定義成功？您會怎麼衡量它？

—Success is doing what i love while being able to bring joy in other people's lives, and there is no measure to that.

—您是希望被喜愛或是被景仰呢？

—Respected!

—您在工作上犯過最大的錯誤是什麼？

—I accidentally broke a flower from the bride's bouquet, and i hid it quickly. But shhhh! Do not tell anyone!

—您如何學習拍出更好的照片呢？

—I like to watch tutorials online. I would love to see one of the masters of wedding photography live.

—My mentor, who was also my wedding photographer, taught me most of the things i know now. So i would nominate him.

—哪件事是您希望從開始拍照時就知道的？

—Grab a chair, the list is so long!

—您想用自己的照片說些什麼？

—I want my photos to tell the story as it unfolds, like a great novel that you find in any book shelve.

—The idea of freedom!

—您的雙親應該更加或是更不嚴厲呢？

—I would have been another person in any of the above mentioned cases, but i like just how i turned out!
