摄影师Anna Rowland

—首先——您能否指出谁是来自埃克塞特, 联合王国的最优秀的摄影师？:)

—I genuinely couldn't tell you for sure.

—您上相吗？

—No. I really dislike being on the other side of the camera, which is a shame but maybe in time I will feel differently.

—您是如何进入摄影行业的？

—It's my life's work – initially I think a friend asked me when I was about 18, it kinda went from there.

—在您看来，一张好的照片最重要的组成部分有哪些？

—Emotion, composition, heart, light. All equally important and when they come together to create something that speaks to you and makes you take a second look, that's what works for me.

—您热爱旅行吗？

—Infinitely so.

—对于您的职业，您最喜欢什么地方？

—Meeting people and visiting places I otherwise wouldn't have, and the freedom of self-employment.

—对于您的职业，您最不喜欢什么地方？

—The degree of uncertainty attached to any form of self-employment I guess.

—摄影的前景如何？

—Hard to say, the standards are very high now. I'd say exactly what it is right now – real moments.

—您专长的摄影风格有什么特别？

—Capturing moments that happen fleetingly to remember always. Creating images that will evoke a memory or feeling of a loved person is the aspect most special to me.

—您如何应对批评？

—Pretty well. I think it's essential to progress. I might not always agree, but I welcome it.

—摄影有什么趋势？

—Always, I try to stay true to what I personally believe in, so I ignore them.

—客户选择摄影师时应该遵循什么标准？

—Something they can really feel. I truly think it’s a heart-led thing.

—拍摄时绝不允许什么事情？

—I can't think of anything specific – always work around any potential issues

—有哪些摄影师可以捕捉的通常会被忽略的细节？

—Fleeting expressions

—什么影响照片的价值？它的元素有哪些？

—An insight into a character, moment or exchange

—在您看来，什么人可以成为 21 世纪的代表人物？

—I don't have an opinion on that.

—您想要为谁拍摄？

—People with character. There's no single person I can conjure up in my head and think 'i'd like to take photos of that person'.

—您有职业禁忌吗？

—Umm, wearing fur, I disagree with that so very much.

—您想与谁一起拍摄？

—No one in particular

—您担心什么？为什么担心？

—Professionally I try not to worry and take everything as it comes. Wedding photography always comes with its challenges, the trick is how you deal with them.

—在生命中，给您印象最深的时刻是什么？

—Does getting out of bed every morning count? Thought not. Having my son, probably.

—如果有机会成为一个动画、文学或电影人物，您想成为谁？为什么？

—Nala from Lion King. No reason, just a cool name and I like lions.

—在生命中谁鼓舞了您？为什么？

—My son, just by being new and cool

—您如何定义成功？如何衡量它？

—Being happy

—您非常受人喜欢或尊敬吗？

—Either, both, neither

—您在工作中犯过的最大错误是什么？

—Not planning a route and getting lost pre-ceremony. It only happened once.

—当您准备去旅行时，要携带什么？为什么？

—Everything I think I might need and more

—在您拥有的器材中，是否有一些是您后悔购买的？为什么？

—Probably about 60% of it.
I bought a time-lapse camera for my husband once, it was really expensive and he used it once then it sat and got old and rubbish before he would admit he would never use it again in time for me to sell it. I've always been quite annoyed at him about that. I wonder if he will ever read this...

—您如何提高自己以拍摄出更好的照片？

—Just by choosing to continue learning, being inspired by work outside of weddings and by being more considered with my frames. I also try not to be too formulaic and complacent. I know my job so well now that I could risk being just that. I think my genuine love for working with people, emotion and light always drives me to create something I'm proud of. I'm not sure i've actually answered that question...

—谁的作品对您作为摄影师的影响最大？

—Its changed vastly over the years. Currently I do my own thing, I couldn't name one person specifically who has influenced me over another.

—开始拍摄时，您最想知道什么？

—I'm happy with how my career has evolved as it is

—您想对自己的照片说什么？

—These people are real

—什么激励您继续拍摄下去？

—The feedback. Every time. Also light. When I'm without a camera and I see beautiful light I'd want to create an interesting frame with, a little part of me mourns the possibility of what could have been. I usually try to take it in with my eyes and hope I can store it away in my brain for another day when I might have my camera and similar light to play with.

—您的父母是否应该更严厉或变得温和一点呢？

—My upbringing wasn't conventional. I'm pretty happy with how life has shaped me though and parenting is just a part of that.

—如果能够回到过去，您会有什么不同的举动？

—Nothing. Life has been challenging in parts, but had it not been, I wouldn't be who I am now.

—对于其他星球上的生命，您有何看法？

—I'd say it would be naive to assume we are the only ones!

—谁是您的英雄？

—I don't have any as such.

—您不尊重谁？

—People who do not operate kindly and with respect to all living things

—您在业余时间会做什么？

—I don't really have much spare time, I like to stay busy and there's always something to do.

—公众从不会看到您的哪一面？

—My introverted/shy side, which is the real me. This seems a funny question, like I'm famous. Alas I am not. I have no public. I have a few close friends who know the real me, when at work I guess I created a persona I can hide behind to a degree.

—什么时候您对自己的作品完全满意？

—Never. I always want to be better

—您主张男人和女人的传统角色吗？

—I believe we should all be whatever we want to be, regardless of gender stereotypes. In my household the 'traditional' roles are reversed in many senses. I've never personally felt I have had to fall within any gender stereotypes. I guess I like my husband to put the bins out, but then I do the car maintenance. I think what I'm trying to say is no.

—您很容易就会交到朋友吗？

—With some people its easy, with others I immediately decide it's not and so I don't tend to pursue them. I'm shy so this narrows down the whole 'new friends' possibilities as I don't tend to approach people.

—您想生活在什么地方？

—New Zealand

—您答应做的最愚蠢的事情是什么？

—I don't think I have really done anything too stupid. I'm cautious, but can be easily led astray to do things that may be unwise, not so much stupid.

—结婚之后生活的质量高吗？

—Of course

—您有最喜欢的玩笑吗？请告诉我们。

—I don't retell jokes well

—您喜欢狗还是喜欢猫？

—Cats, but I have and love both, so both, I should say, but mostly cats

—您讨厌谁，或者厌恶什么？

—Cruelty

—生活中最美好的事情是：

—Love, then tea.

—生活中最让人烦心的事情是：

—Don't start me, there's more than one. If pushed, I'd have to say a half-full bottle of water rolling around in my (car) passenger footwell, that's basically hell. Half-full because it makes more of a sloshy sound to add to the annoyance.

—您是否想改变周围的一些事情？

—Attitudes, and ignorance.

—您希望改变自己的哪些方面？

—Nothing, and yet everything. That’s not an easily answered question :)

—您希望改变世界什么地方？

—Greed, war, politics, animal cruelty. The world needs more changes than I can fit in this box

—对于刚入行的摄影师，您能提供一些建议吗？

—Watch everything, work hard, slow down, understand people, accept challenges will happen, find your own vision, and love what you do.

—如果外星人来到地球并且您是他们见到的第一个人，您会跟他们说什么？

—Be kind

—如果您被邀请去拍一部电影，您希望是什么流派？

—No doubt some kind of weird indie film

—明天我会去做...

—I'm shooting a wedding.
