摄影师Anton Blinkenberg Zeuthen

—您上相吗？

—Everything is relative. My parents were never avid photographers, and now I spend most of the time behind the camera!

—您是如何进入摄影行业的？

—I bid on a wedding on a freelance forum and my bid turned out to be 1/10th the price of the second cheapest. I was honest about my experience, but showed some portraits I'd done, and that was enough to convince them to hire me. The photos of the couple with the horses are from my very first wedding. After that, my newly acquired portfolio did the rest.

—在您看来，一张好的照片最重要的组成部分有哪些？

—It's all about composition, lighting and posing. A photo is only as strong as it's weakest link. If lighting, composition and posing is great, that can help make up for bad weather or a not so good location.

—您热爱旅行吗？

—More than anything! In fact I love traveling so much, that I offer free-of-charge destination wedding photography, as long as you pay airfare and living expenses.

—对于您的职业，您最喜欢什么地方？

—Photography is my hobby and my passion. An added bonus is that I get payed to do what I love. Being a wedding photographer is extremely rewarding, as you spend all day with a crazy in love couple and everybody around you are at their happiest.

—对于您的职业，您最不喜欢什么地方？

—Carrying gear, which is why I shoot Sony.

—摄影的前景如何？

—I do hope that the wedding photography market will come together. As i see it, there are a giant surplus of supply in the market, far exceeding demand. The availability of cheap but good cameras have made everyone a photographer, and the market has been flooded. I don't say that photography requires an education – I don't have one, and I still call myself a photographer. I do however believe that being a good wedding photographer requires more than just gear, it requires creative sense and instinct.

—您专长的摄影风格有什么特别？

—On the big day the walls come crashing down and the emotions come to the surface. Wedding photography are unique in the sense that it allows for capturing emotions that a normal portrait session wouldn't.

—您如何应对批评？

—"Artists are largely, egos covered in skin, and prone to bruising." I read that in an article the other day and found it astoundingly precise. I am no better, but I do believe that constructive criticism makes you a better photographer, and I strife to listen and learn as much as I can from others.

—摄影有什么趋势？

—As digital cameras and retouching technique develop, the boundaries are pushed and the sky's the limit. I believe that the expectations to wedding photographers are rising rapidly, creating a positive trend for honing you skills and becoming a better photographer.

—客户选择摄影师时应该遵循什么标准？

—That they like the creative style of the photographer.
They should choose a photographer that matches their visions, not try to change the photographer to match them.
