攝影師 Carlos Bruno

—您上相嗎？

—(Behind of my lens) ... Yes I do! ;)

—您如何開始從事攝影行業？

—The pictures of my wedding came out a disaster.
Tons of hours behind of my computer using my skills on Photoshop to fix them and make my wife happy again to have back our best memories. Having Photography as part of my skills as Graphic Designer, connect two dots was a no brain: keep doing what I love and what the others call "work" and support a family that I was starting with her.

—您認為一張好照片裡最重要的元素有哪些？

—Emotion with composition and composition with emotion.
I already saw tons of pictures that could not tell the story properly of 'that' moment just because an essential 'detail' was missing within the image.

—Well ... I'm Brazilian. 12,000 miles to reach here. 'Nuf to say ...

—It's NOT a job. It's THE best way to support me and my family.

—您最不喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—I can understand customers that want get the max asking paying min.
It's part of OUR day-by-day get a good deal. I got it.
The disrespect with the professional is what I can't agree.
When you turn back and ask for a free-whatever-the-person-works -with, you became a unreasonable figure.

—攝影的前景如何？

—I think as a profession, the only tendency is grow as form of art.
And with all these improves on the gear, I'm happy to be one in the middle of this fast evolving tornado.

—您擅長的攝影類型有什麼特別之處？

—The capture of the present so in the future remind what happened of so amazing on the past about the moments they decided to start as a couple.

—您如何應對批評？

—Every single critic is valid for improvement. Personal or professional.

—攝影有什麼潮流？

—I'm not following trends anymore.
I try to get my inspiration for every work on the couples or in other filed of art.

—客戶選擇攝影師的標準有哪些？

—Empathy. What some couples can consider an amazing quality of images (from focus to show the exactly color of the table cloth) , for others those can have not a single drop of emotion.
For some couples the photographer will there just to make their money worth taking thousands of clicks, others become friend for life.

—拍攝時應該避免哪些事項？

—The couple has to determine where the respect can be "bend", but never broke. I already had couples that LOVED I went behind of the priest – without anyone noticed – to get their emotion what I could never get if I stayed where the priest determined I had to stay. In other moment, I refused to do something requested by the couple because I knew I will be very disrespect to the church.

—The emotion of the eyes.
Everyone can see one or other crying, but the moment BEFORE that, few people can read.

—The exactly right moment. And maybe can not be THE moment.
Sometimes, as I said above, the perfect image happens before, and sometimes happens after a situation.

Take a good amount of the time to learn that you MAYBE loose or don't reach your usual "100%" in a first job that request that gadget, but you not necessary HAS TO HAVE all of them the market release.

—您如何學習拍出更好的照片呢？

—Asking for critics, as much as possible. Studying not only your craft but all others that has a certain link with visual approaches. Landscape is a wonderful example. On the field (a golf course for instance) you can find in a heart beat a best composition – if you know what your lenses are able to capture.

—身為攝影師，誰的作品對您影響最大？

—Fashion world – the models know exactly where and when place their hands and how to bend their hips. Helps A LOT show your customers that you know what will be great for them in ANY physical complexion, they feel much more secure knowing you won't let them down and control a situation once they are not used to pose.
Painters – mostly the ones that knew how to play with the "Chiaro & Scuro" ... light and darkness.

—哪件事是您希望從開始拍照時就知道的？

—LISTEN the old school. They use to do the same amount of work (take picture – make images) using machines that need to be feed every 36 poses. Timing IS the key.

—您的雙親應該更加或是更不嚴厲呢？

—Probably a common answer but they did exactly what suppose to be done.

—如果能回到過去，您會有什麼不同舉動呢？

It's a group of things and facts that co-exists amazingly well so, I know if something changed because I didn't feel good at the time I did/happened I will ending change a lot of other things. Butterfly effect.
