攝影師 Marius Godeanu

—首先─您認為誰是克拉科瓦, 羅馬尼亞最優秀的攝影師呢？ :)

—Well, it all depends on who you ask.
What is the best car in the world ? Everyone just sees things differently and especially in photography which is an art in itself, where everything is subjective, ask 10 people this question and probably you will get 11 different answers ! :)

—您上相嗎？

—Never :)

—您如何開始從事攝影行業？

—It was back in 2007 I think ... photography was already a hobby for me and as I already had a "decent" DSLR kit ( by those times' standards ) a friend of mine ( who was a videographer ) asked me to go with him and shoot some christenings. I was scared as hell thinking I have a huge responsibility but everything went well and then I moved to weddings, still shooting for him as I didn't have any portfolio. The next year I started going solo and ... 10 years later here we are.

—您認為一張好照片裡最重要的元素有哪些？

—Besides the basic technical stuff – composition and message/feeling are by far the key elements of an attractive wedding photograph.

—您熱愛旅行嗎？

—Sure, who doesn't ?
Although I shot quite a few after wedding session abroad with just the bride and groom, I would love to be able to shoot a full destination wedding sometime.

—您最喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—Happiness in the client's eyes when they look at their wedding photos for the first time.

—您最不喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—Hmm tough one...
If I'd had to choose, it would probably the fact that I have to refuse some clients that reeeeealy want me as their wedding photographer, because I already booked their wedding date for someone else.

—攝影的前景如何？

—Probably not much would change – no matter how advanced the cameras will get. A strong and great wedding image from the 50s is still great today so I can only image – the things that bring value to an image will stay constant over time.

—您擅長的攝影類型有什麼特別之處？

—Wedding photography is different because it actually combines A LOT of other photography genres. A good wedding photographer has to be good at shooting landscapes, portraits, journalism, fashion, architecture, street photography and the list could go on... Probably that's why a great photographer in just any of these genres is not necessary a good wedding photographer.

—您如何應對批評？

—I embrace it – it's the only way we move up the ladder.

—攝影有什麼潮流？

—Sure – as in every other genre – not just photography, but as I said, the things that bring value to a wedding photography will never change regardless of the iso that photograph was taken on, or how many megapixels the camera used has :)

—客戶選擇攝影師的標準有哪些？

—If there is one thing I always encourage newlyweds to do when looking for a wedding photographer is to pay very good attention to the portfolios and see which style would suit them and most importantly when meeting a wedding photographer – have him show a full wedding coverage and not get "fooled" by the best 2-3 photos everyone uploads online.

—拍攝時應該避免哪些事項？

—Photography is an art – no doubt about that and I find it unacceptable for a client to give the photographer exact and strict examples of they want their wedding images to look like, by bringing photos from other photographers around the world and setting stirct guidelines and boundaries regarding their own images. A photographer should be hired if you liked his own style, not to reproduce someone else's work.

—通常不會被注意，但攝影師卻能留意的細節有哪些呢？

—There is an infinite number of things that a wedding photographer could capture.

—什麼事物會影響照片的價值？它包含了哪些因素？

—Message, moment, feeling, composition.

—您認為哪個人可以被視為21世紀的代表人物？

—I really can't think of anyone – and hey – the 21st century is only at he beginning :)

—您想拍誰？

—Absolutely anybody

—您有任何職業禁忌嗎？

—Selective color.

—您能為新進攝影師提供一些建議嗎？

—Never give up !
