Nhiếp ảnh gia Steve Wheller

—Bạn có ăn ảnh không?

—I don't think so unless you catch me in a drunken moment :-)

—Bạn bước chân vào nghề chụp ảnh như thế nào?

—I suppose a lot like everyone else. Started doing photography as a hobby, photographing the landscape around Wales and then covered a friends wedding and then the story begins.

—Theo ý kiến của bạn, những thành phần nào là quan trọng nhất của một bức ảnh đẹp?

—Capturing the moment as it happens. A good photo should evoke the emotion of what happened in the exact moment the shutter was pressed. It should tell a story and leave memories for the people in the photo

—Bạn có yêu thích du lịch không?

—I love travelling to different destinations and exploring the history, landscape and architecture and where possible use these in my photos to portray a story.

—Điều bạn thích nhất trong nghề của mình là gì?

—Meeting new people all the time

—Điều bạn không thích nhất trong nghề của mình là gì?

—The long days

—Tương lai của nghề chụp ảnh sẽ như thế nào?

—Who know's. Everyone's a photographer these days. I think technology is going to take over. I think wedding photography is not just about taking pictures is interacting with people on the day, making sure the day goes smoothly and capturing the day as the couple expect with a little spice thrown in. Everyone can take a picture but not everyone can evoke emotion.

—Bạn có chuyên môn đặc biệt về thể loại ảnh nào?

—It is one of chance to capture someone's day as it happens. Hopefully they only get married once and I am there to record their day. I think if the couple looks back at my photos and it brings a smile to their face then I have done my job.

—Thái độ của bạn trước những lời phê bình như thế nào?

—I think quite well, initially it's a hit in the stomach but this drives me on to become a better photographer.

—Có bất kỳ xu hướng nào trong ngành nhiếp ảnh không?

—Not sure

—Khách hàng nên có tiêu chí nào để lựa chọn nhiếp ảnh gia?

—That they like the photographs first, then meet the photographer to see if they gel. You need to get on with your photographer as you're with them all day. Make sure the style of photography reflects their personality and don't be afraid to ask questions.

—Cần tránh những điều gì khi chụp ảnh?

—Nothing

—Những chi tiết nào thường bị bỏ qua mà một nhiếp ảnh gia lại để ý?

—I think you have to have the eye to see what is going to happen and when it's going to happen plus have the ability to react to the quick changes in light and weather. That's where experience comes in, you only have one chance you have to nail it there and then.
