摄影师Ashley Davenport

—您上相吗？

—No.... If I was, I would be in front of the camera.

—您是如何进入摄影行业的？

—I've always been into photography but seen wedding photography as extremely scary as you only ever get one chance and because of that I stayed away from it. However after my own wedding in 2014 I realised that wedding photography can be so much more than the traditional approach and I wanted to be part of that.

—在您看来，一张好的照片最重要的组成部分有哪些？

—Light, composition, moment. Its that easy.

—您热爱旅行吗？

—Erm, Yeh! My wife and I never visit the same place twice so we make every opportunity to make the most of holidays. We rarely spend time on the beach because most beaches are similar. We like to experience countries and capture them in the most appropriate way possible. For our honeymoon, we didn't do the beach thing, we traveled to Nepal to trek to base camp of Everest – quite possibility the hardest thing we have done ever!

—对于您的职业，您最喜欢什么地方？

—Meeting people and seeing their reaction to the images I have taken. It makes me feel amazing when people look at the back of the camera and can't believe they are in the image.

—对于您的职业，您最不喜欢什么地方？

—That's a hard one.... Missing the wife at the weekend? I guess I need to say that in case she sees this....!

—摄影的前景如何？

—Wedding photography has become so competitive recently and photographers are finding ever more ways to stand out and be creative. If you look back 10 years it is clear the standard of wedding photography has

—您专长的摄影风格有什么特别？

—People! Emotion! People! Emotion!Most people have been to a wedding but its so different when its 'your' wedding. Being a wedding photographer, you have a VIP pass into the inter world of the bride and groom and have access to the most special parts of the day which some friends and family aren't able to witness. Whether thats seeing the dad's emotion of seeing his daughter wearing the dress for the first time, helping the bride pluck up the courage to walk into the church or having a front row seat at the church. Wedding are special special days and being able to capture this is a honour.

—您如何应对批评？

—It only makes you better. I actually like to hear the honest feedback from my couples as its not about what I think, its all about the bride and groom. Fortunately I haven't been in a position to have any negative criticism, but I do welcome constructive feedback in any aspect of my business.

—客户选择摄影师时应该遵循什么标准？

—Personality... Do you feel comfortable that the photographer is going to be with you at very special moments in the day and do you feel confident that he/she is going to do an amazing job and deliver images you are going to love forever
