Nhiếp ảnh gia Graziano Guerini

—Bạn có ăn ảnh không?

—mmm...I don't think so :D

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

—Probably in the same way of most of us: a friend asked me to shoot his wedding, then, since I had already a big passion about photography, after I saw that I enjoyed a lot to capture real moments, I decided to follow that path (step by step).

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

—I think there is not an exact answer, everyone likes a photo because of many reasons, also personal reasons given by personal taste.
Personally, using of course a good technique, I aim to capture always the emotions, the real moments, that's what really matters in a perfect service in my opinion.
And in the Creative Sessions I aim to create beautiful photos, so I take care of the esthetique by following my personal sense of taste, but always trying to give some emotions to the viewers.
Also controlling lights and shadows is very important, often essential.

—Bạn có yêu thích du lịch không?

—Yes, I love to see new places and to change the wedding locations too :) shooting weddings in different countries, with different traditions, it's very interesting.
But I travel also just for myself, obviously.

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

—What I said before, shooting weddings in different countries, with different traditions, it's very interesting, and we often work between Austria, Italy and Hungary, but not only.
And this job allows me to meet new people, of course, and this is also a beautiful side of being a wedding photographer.
And being able to give to these people memories they will be joyful to watch in the future, well, that makes me proud.

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

—Maybe the marketing part, it's a ton of work which is hidden to the eyes of most of the clients, and to be honest is not so great and fun like shooting photos :) but that's part of this job too, and must be done.
I also don't like the envy and malice that some photographers have of others colleagues, I think everyone should just think about giving his best, and caring only about to improve, continuously.

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

—I don't know.
Let's see, let's work at our best, and let's be ready for all the developments in this profession :)

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

—To me, being the direct witness of great emotions, and not only: I'm the one in charge to capture those moments, it's a big responsability, and a honour too.

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

—It depends on how much competent is who criticize me :D jokes apart, I'm always studying, always trying new things, and always following photographers whose works I love, and I'm always ready to learn from them.
There is always to learn something new, and there is always someone who can teach me something.
So, I usually accept critics if well reasoned, or at least I reflect on them.

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

—Trends are going and coming continuously, but beautiful photos always remain, forever, and that's what matters.
I don't really care about trends, even if I take a look at them. But yes, definitely there are trends, like in about everything else.

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

—I always say to people: "look my portfolio, also the full works, and if you feel something when you are watching my photos, then I'm the photographer you are looking for".
My photos will be the only memories of their best day, they must be absolutely sure that my style fits perfectly with their taste.

—Cần tránh những điều gì khi chụp ảnh?

—The photographer must not become the protagonist of the scene, and he/she must always remember that it's not his/her wedding, but the bride and groom's wedding.
In few words, the photographer must not be intrusive.

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

—A lot of details.
And as we know, details are what make the difference.

—Cái gì ảnh hưởng tới giá trị của một tấm ảnh? Giá trị gồm các yếu tố nào?

—Again, details: the light, the composition, a natural smile, real tears, perfect moments, emotions.

—Bạn muốn chụp ai?

—I don't have a specific answer, in every people there can be a cool subject.

—Bạn có bất kỳ điều gì cấm kỵ trong nghề nghiệp không?

—In wedding photography probably not.

—Bạn thích chụp ảnh cùng ai?

—There are so many great colleagues, that it's hard to choose just one name.
Probably Ben Chrisman could be the name, and Daniele Vertelli too.

—Bạn lo lắng điều gì, và tại sao?

—I'm quite skeptical about the global politics of the last years, I think the world is not going in a good direction.

—Khoảnh khắc ấn tượng nhất trong đời bạn là gì?

—When I married my wife.

—Ai truyền cảm hứng cho bạn trong đời và tại sao?

—No one, honestly I never had models and I never needed models.

—Bạn định nghĩa thành công là gì? Bạn đo lường thành công như thế nào?

—About my job, a good measure is when many couples suggest me to other friends, it means I did my job as I wanted, perfectly :)

—Bạn muốn được yêu thích hay được tôn trọng?

—First of all respected, then if I'm also liked...perfect :D

—Sai lầm lớn nhất của bạn trong công việc là gì?

—Sometimes I'm so concentrated about the work, that I forget the grooms' names :D luckily there is always my wife next to me to remind me the names

—Khi đi du lịch, bạn mang theo những thứ gì và tại sao?

—A camera, to take photos of course :D
And a list of good and trustworthy places where to eat...I'm italian :D

—Có bất kỳ thứ gì mà bạn ước mình đã không mua trong số các thiết bị của bạn không? Tại sao?

—Probably there are some things which are not essential, but I use everything, some things more often than others, but no "regrets".

—Bạn tự học cách chụp ảnh như thế nào?

—Mostly I follow the works of other colleagues whose style I love, and compare my works with theirs.
Also the contests in the various wedding photography associations I'm member of are a good way to measure your level.
But as a wedding photographer with a photojournalist approach, I follow also the works of the big names in photojournalism: McCurry, Koudelka, Salgado, Güler, Erwitt and so on...there is a lot to learn from them, that is very useful at weddings.

—Tác phẩm của ai gây ảnh hưởng nhiều nhất với bạn khi làm nhiếp ảnh gia?

—Who made me discover the beauty of wedding photography, I mean, an artistic type of wedding photography, where emotions are mixed to creativity and both are perfectly in balance to each others, it was Ben Chrisman.
When I saw his works for the first time, I was amazed (and I'm still nowadays, I always follow his new works), he showed me something I never saw before.
Then of course everyone has to follow his path, and has to create an own style.

—Có điều gì bạn ước mình đã biết khi bắt đầu chụp ảnh?

—That there is so much "hidden work": marketing, emails, equipment cares and upgrades, etc...a lot of time for that :)

—Bạn muốn nói điều gì với những tấm ảnh của mình?

—I want to show my point of view.
I always do what I like. And I like emotions, so I like to capture the emotions, and to show those photos to my couples: it's always great to see their happiness when they see it.

—Động lực nào khiến bạn tiếp tục chụp ảnh?

—The fact I can express my creativity, the fact that my work can make happy other people also after many years.

—Bố mẹ bạn nên nghiêm khắc hơn hay bớt nghiêm khắc đi?

—They have been ok when I was small, even too gentle :)

—Nếu bạn có thể du hành ngược thời gian, bạn sẽ làm điều gì khác đi?

—Maybe I would have started before with photography.
But probably I wouldn't change nothing, there is always a reason why things happen in a specific way.

—Cuộc sống trên các hành tinh khác như thế nào?

—Why not? The universe is so big, so there could be another similar planet between the other billions :)

—Ai là người hùng của bạn?

—As I said, no heroes.
People I admire yes, but no heroes.

—Bạn không tôn trọng ai?

—For ignorant people pretending to know and judge the things they clearly don't know nothing about, and inside the photography world for photographers that are taking care more to do "blablabla" and talking behind back of other colleagues casting in a bad light the colleagues' works rather than caring about to improve the quality of their own works.
Unfortunately there are many doing so, especially on the social networks (but there are also great people too between my colleagues, thanks God! And I have to say that Mywed gave me the possibility to get in contact with many great colleagues and great people).
But the correct word I would use is "I don't like", and not "I have no respect".

—Bạn làm gì trong thời gian rỗi?

—I love cooking, I go running, mountain biking, fishing.

—Khi nào bạn hoàn toàn hài lòng với tác phẩm của mình?

—Probably I'm never completely satisfied, I'm quite critic with myself, so there is always something I would do to improve something later.

—Bạn có tin vào các vai trò truyền thống của nam giới và phụ nữ không?

—No.

—Bạn có dễ dàng kết bạn không?

—I'm not so extroverse as not-italians usually expect from italians, but if I like a person I'm getting friendly quite soon :)

—Bạn muốn sống ở đâu?

—Now I'm not in Italy, the life took me somewhere else, but being close to it makes me feel ok :) I don't want to go far, Europe is good for me, especially the southern/central part :)

—Sau hôn nhân còn gì đáng sống không?

—It seems so :D

—Bạn thích chó hay mèo?

—Yes, I think I have a special attraction on them, they become my friends almost instantly :)

—Điều tốt đẹp nhất trong cuộc sống là:

—Life itself.

—Điều khó chịu nhất trong cuộc sống là:

—Annoying people and know-it-all people.

—Bạn có muốn thay đổi bất kỳ điều gì quanh bạn không?

—Well, winning the lottery would be nice :D but jokes apart, no, around me everything it's ok as it is :)

—Bạn muốn thay đổi điều gì trên thế giới?

—Is this Miss Universe contest? :D
Do you know how many problems there are in the world? I should write an endless list.

—Bạn có thể đưa ra vài lời khuyên cho các nhiếp ảnh gia vừa mới bắt đầu không?

—Watch, study and follow the works of the "big names".
Learn the technique and the "rules". Then, when you have the technique, you must experience, break also the rules, try, try, and try new things.
Never think that you "arrived", that you learned everything.
Develop your style. Use your ideas. Be yourself. And do what you like.

—Nếu người ngoài hành tinh đến Trái đất và bạn là người đầu tiên họ gặp, bạn sẽ cho họ biết những gì?

—Probably they don't speak my language :D But I'm italian, just with my hands I can say everything :D

—Nếu bạn được mời quay một bộ phim, đó sẽ là thể loại nào?

—A commedy, or an action movie.

—Ngày mai tôi sẽ đi làm...

—..."the same thing we do every night Pinky...try to take over the world" :DDD
