摄影师Chris Neacsu

—首先——您能否指出谁是来自圣荷西, 美国的最优秀的摄影师？:)

—Need to ask? My wife:) Now, in all seriousness, my wife and I are a team and we have both built Chris |N| Creative from the ground up. We have met 19 years ago, started dating 3 years later and that's also when we started doing photography together. 10 years ago we got married

—您上相吗？

—Of course! Perfect. But I'd rather keep all that handsomeness (is that a word?) behind the camera. My clients look much better in pictures.

—您是如何进入摄影行业的？

—Majored in photojournalism in college and worked for several newspapers in Europe. Then slowly transitioned to portrait photography and wedding photography and because we loved it so much, we decided to focus on it.

—在您看来，一张好的照片最重要的组成部分有哪些？

—Talking about engagement and wedding photography, I think people's genuine emotions are the most attractive part of it. Yes, the right light, the composition, sure, but seeing the little moments, the tears, the smiles, and being able to capture them, raw, unposed...

—您热爱旅行吗？

—Love it and I'm also a bit of a world citizen if I may say so. Lived in several countries back in the day, before we moved to the US. Some of the places I've traveled to and photographed captured my heart forever (France, Italy, Spain, some of the Greek Islands to name a few).

—对于您的职业，您最喜欢什么地方？

—Watching people in love and happy going through the most important day in their life as a couple is one of the main reasons why we do wedding photography.

—对于您的职业，您最不喜欢什么地方？

—We only take on a limited number of events per year. When we have to say no to a couple, I hate that.

—摄影的前景如何？

—I have a vivid imagination. Whatever's in store, I'm excited about it.

—客户选择摄影师时应该遵循什么标准？

—Oh, so many things. Definitely not starting with the price, although we clearly understand brides and grooms work with budgets. But making a decision solely based on which photographer is cheaper is a mistake. How you gel with the photographer is crucial (imagine being stuck on your wedding day with someone you can't stand), obviously experience and portfolio, style. Oh, yes, reviews as well. Very important.

—有哪些摄影师可以捕捉的通常会被忽略的细节？

—The small things. A smile, a squeeze of a hand, an embrace. The emotions. The reactions.

—您想与谁一起拍摄？

—My daughter, in a few years. She's only 7 now but already seems interested in what mom and dad do, so I'd love to one day have her join us.

—在生命中，给您印象最深的时刻是什么？

—Can I have 2? The birth of our daughter. The day my wife and I got married.

—您如何定义成功？如何衡量它？

—Doing what you love and doing it to the best of your abilities. Being surrounded by the people you love. Being a good person. Very important!

—您想对自己的照片说什么？

—I'm a storyteller. Whether you look at only one picture from a wedding or browse an entire album, I'm telling the couple's story. Their love story.

—什么激励您继续拍摄下去？

—Loving what I do. The love for my craft. The sincere thank yous from our clients.

—您很容易就会交到朋友吗？

—Oh, yes! I'm super relaxed and friendly, a bit of a chatterbox and I'm genuinely interested in other people. Their stories, their lives. Not that I'm nosy or anything:)

—您喜欢狗还是喜欢猫？

—Cats. And Dogs. And turtles, squirrels, horses, tarantulas, parrots. Huge animal person here.

—对于刚入行的摄影师，您能提供一些建议吗？

—Better your craft, keep shooting, keep improving. But only do it if you really love it. Otherwise, it'll come off as forced in your photos, your relationships with your clients and you won't be happy before long. And remember, everyone started as someone else's assistant or second shooter. Just keep at it!
