—您是如何进入摄影行业的？

—By accident, I was first a commercial photographer, a friend of mine told me he needed a second shooter so I did. The very first click got me and now I'm a full time Wedding photographer and loving it.

—您上相吗？

—Sure I'm or at least I think I'm, if you feel it you have it.

—在您看来，一张好的照片最重要的组成部分有哪些？

—Soul, Light and Emotion.

—您热爱旅行吗？

—The people, I love chatting with them and make them laugh.

—对于您的职业，您最不喜欢什么地方？

—Make a selection for a small story in my blog.

—您如何应对批评？

—Great, is good to hear opinions but everyone has a different style.

—拍摄时绝不允许什么事情？

—You will never see me being intrusive I love to be close but I know how and when.

—您专长的摄影风格有什么特别？

—Families are everything they are the medular issue in my photography I always try to involve everyone, love to see them smile, watch the though strong man dropping tears, a mother hugging her daughter stronger than ever.

—摄影有什么趋势？

—Film look and filters but I try to avoid them. I not saying that I don`t use them.

—客户选择摄影师时应该遵循什么标准？

—First of all, it's important that the bride and groom identify themselves with the photographer and his work, the choice should be made by whether they consider he is the one who's worth recording their lifetime memories. Then, they should absolutely watch an entire wedding shot by the one they chose. I like being approached by future weds who know a thing or two about photography and who got their mind set on what they really want.

—您是如何进入摄影行业的？

—I started taking pictures in 2000 and shooting weddings in 2008. At first, I didn't want to do weddings, I thought it would diminish my work. But I started anyway and found the most challenging environment, I discovered that no matter what type of photography you do, you can always reinvent yourself and find new ways to tell a story. Especially when you meet extraordinary people all the time :)

—您上相吗？

—I consider I ain't, but it so happens that on occasion some other photographer catches the good/bright sight of me.

—在您看来，一张好的照片最重要的组成部分有哪些？

—First & foremost, the people involved and their mood (if you're shooting people), then the light (I began ”seeing” the light after years of shooting) and the decisive moment. I don't agree that the quality of a photograph is not important, but it indeed comes in second after the feelings it produces.

—您热爱旅行吗？

—So much that if it would be possible I would be traveling all the time.

—对于您的职业，您最喜欢什么地方？

—The diversity – today I'm shooting a wedding, tomorrow a baptism, after tomorrow a concert, then a family portrait, a corporate event or some landscape. It's what keeps me connected all the time.

—对于您的职业，您最不喜欢什么地方？

—Having too much to edit.

—您如何应对批评？

—I'm all in for constructive criticism, don't like destructive one. That's why we're here on My Wed, right? To constantly learn from other photographers and document ourselves about where we are as wedding photographers. I, for one, would like to hear more criticism about my work and where to improve. Here's an idea: you could implement a section where each photographer could post one photo/week for critique :D

—拍摄时绝不允许什么事情？

—Getting in front of the photographer.

—摄影的前景如何？

—I think it is constantly evolving and that we'll always see changes for the good. We'll always have trends that come and go, the important thing is to know who you are and do what you really like, not necessarily follow the hype.

—您专长的摄影风格有什么特别？

—Oh, everything about it is special. I must admit I suffer when someone refers to it as a banality, thinking that ”real artists” don't do wedding photos. Special is meeting new people, seeing new places or facing new challenges. Besides war photography, I find it the most challenging type, you get to meet all kinds of situations during one day: different light every minute, you get to shoot outdoors and indoors, in plain sun or in the shadow of a tree/building, inside a cave or on a mountain top etc. etc. Need I say more?

—谁的作品对您作为摄影师的影响最大？

—Susan Stripling.

—您是如何进入摄影行业的？

—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.

—您上相吗？

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

—在您看来，一张好的照片最重要的组成部分有哪些？

—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.

—您热爱旅行吗？

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

—对于您的职业，您最喜欢什么地方？

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

—对于您的职业，您最不喜欢什么地方？

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

—您如何应对批评？

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

—摄影的前景如何？

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

—您担心什么？为什么担心？

—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.

—您专长的摄影风格有什么特别？

—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.
