攝影師 Vasilije Bajilov

—首先─您認為誰是諾維薩德, 塞爾維亞最優秀的攝影師呢？ :)

—To be honest I respect and value my colleagues but I have no interest in their work, so I might not be the best person for this question.

—您上相嗎？

—Oh god yes, Im so photogenic that just to be sure I will never be in the picture I started hiding behind the camera. :))

—您如何開始從事攝影行業？

—Full time graphic designer, unhappy with my life I found a blow of valve in photography. I fell in love with photography so much that I couldn't imagine doing it as a paid work, up until I started following my girl who is a make up artist on wedding gigs and started taking pictures and when newlyweds started using my photos in their album I kind still didnt want to get in to it but everyone around me pushed me in the right direction and I havent looked back ever since.

—您認為一張好照片裡最重要的元素有哪些？

—Thats easy, emotion, emotion and emotion. You can have perfect light, composition but if there is no emotion there is no picture.

—您熱愛旅行嗎？

—Traveling is the only form of richness you take to your grave. You cant take money or anything material, I value my life of much I have seen the world and learned more about us humans. Thats why I love doing weddings.

—您最喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—Photography is such a vast field, and it is easy to get lost in it.So why did I choose weddings? Well, apart from shooting weddings, I love child photography, l.o.v.e. it! A kid looks at you honestly and he either likes you or not.Raw emotion is so hard to see nowadays since we all have our busy lives, and true emotion has become a commodity.And if there’s one place where people lower their guard and just let their emotions flow, it’s at weddings.This raw emotion of happiness mixed with natural light is the essence of my work.So that fact right there makes me tingly and gives me the drive forward, always provoking me to make that next shot and enjoy every single moment of my job.

—您最不喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—Hm, every wedding is unique, this question is not for me, you either love or hate this job for me its love all the way or I wouldn't be in this line of work.

—攝影的前景如何？

—It will get more and more personal, I hope for me at least that I will have a chance to show their life, their hopes and dreams in my pictures and to truly put a time stamp in their lives with the photos I make.

—您擅長的攝影類型有什麼特別之處？

—Everything good comes in one place and time with one mission in mind to celebrate life, love and eternity.

—您如何應對批評？

—Im just a human with passion for photography, I make mistakes and I learn from them, there is no emotion god or bad, if the person criticising has a point I will thank him for helping me.

—攝影有什麼潮流？

—Always, and always changing.

—客戶選擇攝影師的標準有哪些？

—Well see it as this, wedding photographer is the only sober person that will be with you on your special day from the beginning up to late hours. :)
His personality and his empathy for the problems you might have during that day will influence your overall experience of your wedding day. If you are not married you might not get that but ask around with your wedding friends.

—拍攝時應該避免哪些事項？

—Well for me personally I don't like to see a bad photo of me and also I don't like to see a bad photo of anyone else. So if I make a great photo but the main subject being that bride or groom or even a guest is not at its best or at least acceptable I will not use that photo. I'm not there to make my carrier Im there to make a memorable photos.

—通常不會被注意，但攝影師卻能留意的細節有哪些呢？

—The devil is in the details. Most of the time I will worry about the details in the photo. I will move half of the room just so they will have a nice photo.

—什麼事物會影響照片的價值？它包含了哪些因素？

—A lot, and Im not gonna name the obvious ones, the ones that people cant predict is the ones with the people that might not be in our lives in the future. Thats why I take extra care of the family photos and emotional moments with the parents. Photos like that are kept for life.

—您想拍誰？

—Happy people in any shape or form, any gender, any race, any sexual orientation.

—您有任何職業禁忌嗎？

—No.

—您會擔心什麼？為什麼？

—I worry that this life is not enough for everything I want to see and learn.

—您人生中印象最深刻的一刻是什麼？

—Im humble, and I try to make waking up and getting out of a bed a victory. That being said, Im still waiting for that moment.

—如果您是個卡通、小說或電影角色，您想成為誰？為什麼？

—Cartoon hmm I would be Dexter, I love to work on things. :))

—誰能在生命中激發您的靈感？為什麼？

—My work is observing and taking pictures of people. You can learn so much about life and everything just by letting people be who they are. I get inspired by their stories which I love to hear.

—您如何定義成功？您會怎麼衡量它？

—Success is nothing more that giving it your best no matter the fee your are paid. And success is feeling of joy when newlyweds thank me for the service I gave.
