Nhiếp ảnh gia Josh Jones

—Bạn có ăn ảnh không?

—Sometimes... If I've gotten enough sleep and have a glass of wine or two

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

—In 2004 I got a digital camera for Christmas, back when digital cameras weren't attached to every device. I was facinated with how you could freeze time, and then view the past later. I couldn't set it down. A few years later I shot my first wedding, fell in love with it and 10 years later have shot over 200.

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

—A moment. For sure. If it doesn't have this it's not worth remembering. After that, certainly lighting and composition go a long way.

—Bạn có yêu thích du lịch không?

—Absolutely. We have traveled all over the world taking photos!

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

—I love that every weekend I get to be a huge part of someone's "most important day of their life."

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

—Crazy church ladies that force me to shoot from 100 feet away in the balcony during the ceremony.

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

—More and more instant gratification. A one month turn around average for a wedding will turn into a day.

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

—The father of the bride that has never cried in public before. The look on the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time. The uncle that doesn't normally drink is dancing up a storm on the dance floor.

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

—I love it. As long as it is constructive it is one of the biggest gifts you can give to me.

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

—Always are. Always will be. I think the washed out vintage look is certainly "in style" right now, and I can't wait for it to go away.

—Bạn lo lắng điều gì, và tại sao?

—I've found that the energy I've wasted in the past on worrying about things was better spent on just doing what I was supposed anyway. No regrets. No fear.

—Bạn muốn được yêu thích hay được tôn trọng?

—Respected.

—Bạn tự học cách chụp ảnh như thế nào?

—Getting out there and shooting. Practice. Practice. Practice. And never stop trying new things.

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

—Susan Stripling.

—Bạn làm gì trong thời gian rỗi?

—I make wine. My wife and I own a small winery and vineyard here in Greenville, SC and love everything from the vines, to the land, to the people that come into our tasting room.

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

—Never.

—Bạn muốn sống ở đâu?

—Greenville, SC. It is the best place in the world for me and my wife. If it wasn't, I would move. Life is too short to live in a place that isn't best for you and your family!
