攝影師 Marius Barbulescu

—您上相嗎？

—​Very rarely! :)

—您如何開始從事攝影行業？

—​I was 20 and had a photography class at the University! The moment I shot the first roll of film with a SLR, I was hooked for life! I feel very old at 32 saying I've started photography shooting film.

—您認為一張好照片裡最重要的元素有哪些？

—​To send a message, a feeling or to make you remember things. We’re losing so many good things along the way in our journey through life like innocence, compassion, humanity, sincerity… just to name a few. Kids have them naturally, we’re born rich and most of the people die poor of these.

—您熱愛旅行嗎？

—​Yes! I can be on the road 365 days a year, but only if I’m with my family. Home is wherever I’m with them.

—您最喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—​
The freedom to organize my life just as I want, the people I meet, the friends I make, the places I visit… I have at least 1000 reasons. Shooting weddings is for me my chance to use everything I experienced personally to create something new every week. Photography is not objective and it's a good thing because it lets us choose how we tell the stories. It's a refuge for me and an act that leaves me with no masks (or very few of them). I'm trying to shoot in a very sincere way.

—您最不喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—​Deadlines! Sometimes it gets frustrating, but I’m getting better and better with them.

—攝影的前景如何？

—​I have no idea, but I’d love to live it.

—您擅長的攝影類型有什麼特別之處？

—​For me it’s the freedom it gives me… I have a license to shoot everyone! And weddings are not just super fun, but also extremely diverse. I love that!

—您如何應對批評？

—​Pretty well because I'm already my own fiercest critique. Nobody can match this! :)

—攝影有什麼潮流？

—Of course. But good photography is forever.

—客戶選擇攝影師的標準有哪些？

—​I'd check to see if the work of the photographer I like is consistent, if he blogs every wedding he's shooting and, after a short talk over skype or face to face, if we get along fine.

—拍攝時應該避免哪些事項？

—​Touching people and being in the center of attention.

—通常不會被注意，但攝影師卻能留意的細節有哪些呢？

—​“Common” people can become excellent photographers with experience. It’s just that good wedding photographers are trained to see more the “in between” moments, small gestures that make all the difference, little stories within bigger ones.

—什麼事物會影響照片的價值？它包含了哪些因素？

—Composition + moment + light. For a great photo you can't exclude any of these.

—您認為哪個人可以被視為21世紀的代表人物？

—​Anyone that can bring peace and make the world a better place for everybody, not just for a few of us. Jesus Christ maybe if He decides to pay us a visit again.

—您想拍誰？

—I let my destiny to choose that for me.

—您有任何職業禁忌嗎？

—I am never allowing myself to be bored or tired while shooting a wedding... ok, maybe a little bored from time to time, but I'm always trying to make things more interesting.

—您想和誰一起拍攝？

—​So many people and they know who they are… but right now Sergio and Kelly from www.kellyandsergio.com intrigue me a lot. Their work is so original and authentic.

—您會擔心什麼？為什麼？

—​I worry every time that I’m faking photography and that I suck!

—您人生中印象最深刻的一刻是什麼？

—​The moment my son was born.

—如果您是個卡通、小說或電影角色，您想成為誰？為什麼？

—​Sam Gamgee from Lord of the Rings! If more people would be like him, we’d live in a happier place!

—誰能在生命中激發您的靈感？為什麼？

—​Anyone who doesn’t put his own self in front of everybody else. We live in a selfish world and I’m trying to cure myself from that too.

—您如何定義成功？您會怎麼衡量它？

—​Success is when you manage to bring balance in you and around you.

—您是希望被喜愛或是被景仰呢？

—​I don’t fight for any of these, so I can’t answer. If I get to be liked or respected it's because I did something good. I only fight to do good things.

—您如何學習拍出更好的照片呢？

—Every year I buy some photography books (not wedding photography, mostly photojournalism). I look at a lot of pictures (mywed is also a constant source of inspiration) and try to analyze the things I like in a picture. I shoot a lot of IPhone pictures and I try to stay alert to any interesting situations that might occur around me. A photographer should never "sleep", training and educating for this si a life long mission.

—身為攝影師，誰的作品對您影響最大？

—So many, but mostly Saul Laiter, Sam Abell and James Nachtway. In wedding photography it was Jeff Ascough at first and then Ben and Erin Chrisman that started all for me! Their work made me want to become a better wedding photographer for all the good reasons.

—讓您持續拍照的動力是什麼？

—​The life I have now is a good one, I strive to keep it like this.

—您的雙親應該更加或是更不嚴厲呢？

—I have the best parents in the world, I wouldn't change anything.

—您對在其他星球上的生命有什麼看法呢？

—Yes.

—誰是您的英雄？

—The people who genuinely love to help the ones in need.

—您不重視誰？

—Selfishness.

—您空閒時會做些什麼？

—​Family time, traveling, reading, movies, playing video games with my son.

—您什麼時候會對自己的作品完全滿意？

—​I’m far from being satisfied!

—您認可男女性的傳統角色嗎？

—​No.

—您容易交到朋友嗎？

—​Friendship is a ship that take a long time to build, so, no, I don’t make friends easily! But I'm an easygoing person, I get along fine with almost everyone.

—您希望在哪裡生活？

—​Near a forest and a lake, a few kilometers away from civilization, but with Internet and electricity. :)

—結婚後還有人生嗎？

—​Having or adopting a kid is life, so, yes, there is a lot of life after marriage.

—您喜歡狗還是貓？

—​Both!

—您討厭誰或什麼？

—​I’m trying hard not to hate anyone! So nobody, but I’m scared of extremists (any type of extremists)!

—人生中最棒的事是：

—​Children

—人生中最煩人的事是：

—​Adults

—您的周圍有任何您想改變的事情嗎？

—​Preconceptions, I’d love to see the people more open minded (me included).

—您希望改變自己的哪一點？

—​The same things I’d like to change in other people too.

—您能為新進攝影師提供一些建議嗎？

—​You photography can only be as good as you are… so instead of learning tons of new tricks, invest in yourself, but not in a selfish way.

—如果外星人來到地球，而您是他們第一個遇見的人，您會跟他們說什麼？
