摄影师Jamie Orndorff

—首先——您能否指出谁是来自坦帕, 美国的最优秀的摄影师？:)

—If I'm being honest? Hehe...I love the work my husband and I do. We have shot weddings for about three years now so we've had time to refine our style and learn from other amazing photographers...making us the best us we could be!!

—您上相吗？

—My husband says yes. I say meh.

—您是如何进入摄影行业的？

—I've always found people to be the most interesting subjects. Seeing different expressions and emotions on one's face. When I started photographing people- I realized I loved capturing those expressions. Then I started photographing couples and realized I love capturing LOVE. It's beautiful and real and raw.

—在您看来，一张好的照片最重要的组成部分有哪些？

—As an adventurous person- I love a beautiful landscape. Mountains, beaches, cliffs...anything in nature makes a beautiful photo for me.

—您热爱旅行吗？

—Traveling is basically our life. We've shot in Iceland, Mexico, California, Arizona, Tennessee, and many other incredible places. We love it more than we love tacos.

—对于您的职业，您最喜欢什么地方？

—My favorite thing is meeting new people and seeing new places. We have met so many awesome people during our time as photographers and that is an amazing bonus to this job!

—对于您的职业，您最不喜欢什么地方？

—...the way my back hurts after shooting a 9 hour wedding day.

—摄影的前景如何？

—Hopefully more creative and unique photographers and less typical poses and fake smiles.

—您专长的摄影风格有什么特别？

—Weddings are truly a beautiful and special thing in themselves. Being one of the most important days in one's life, there are always many different emotions throughout the day. The wedding photographer has the privilege of getting to capture all of them. It's amazing. A lot of times, it makes US cry!

—您如何应对批评？

—I always want to be a better photographer, person, wife, etc. Criticism is something difficult to take when given, but keeps me up at night. I definitely think it's needed in order to improve.

—摄影有什么趋势？

—Absolutely. Everyone is always trying to find their own style and niche and a lot of times copy others style of work. I say it's best to forget the trends and find your own lane.

—客户选择摄影师时应该遵循什么标准？

—Trust and taste are two huge factors. Every person needs to trust their photographer, meaning they need to build a sort of rapport. They should prove that they are able to capture and understand what is important to you. And of course taste- choose a photographer who's work you love! :-)

—拍摄时绝不允许什么事情？

—Over posing. Fake smiles. Messy backgrounds.

—有哪些摄影师可以捕捉的通常会被忽略的细节？

—People don't always notice the best light, whereas photographers are chasers of beautiful light. Also little things- such as leading lines and unique spots that may look ordinary to the common eye...but look like a fairytale in a photograph.

—什么影响照片的价值？它的元素有哪些？

—The memories that come with the photo, what it can mean to a client. That is everything. Genuine laughs and happy tears captured in a photograph can be so valuable to someone.

—在您看来，什么人可以成为 21 世纪的代表人物？

—A symbol is different to everyone, we all have different inspirations. For me, I am inspired by Don and Helen, amazing and creative wedding photographers who thrive on the unconventional.

—您想要为谁拍摄？

—People that are ridiculously, ridiculously, ridiculously in love. ;-)

—您有职业禁忌吗？

—Drinking on the job. Oh well...

—您想与谁一起拍摄？

—Don and Helen. Chris Burkard. There are some talented people out there.

—您担心什么？为什么担心？

—I usually worry about everything when I'm on a plane. Nothing a little wine can't fix. Other than that, I don't worry too much. What's the point?

—在生命中，给您印象最深的时刻是什么？

—I will never forget standing under the northern lights in Iceland. Honestly, creation is the most outstanding thing in the world. I was breathless and speechless.

—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？

—I think I would be Jess from New Girl. We have the same taste in style and are quirky by nature. Also I totally copied her bangs.

—在生命中谁鼓舞了您？为什么？

—My husband definitely inspires me. He is so creative and down to earth and smart and kind. If everyone were like him, the earth would ROCK.

—您如何定义成功？如何衡量它？

—True success, I believe, is measured by happiness. If you are happy, you are successful. Simple as that!

—您非常受人喜欢或尊敬吗？

—Can't I have both? Haha...I guess I would say respected. Because people that like you may not like you the next day. If you're respected once, likely you'll be respected a long time.

—您在工作中犯过的最大错误是什么？

—I used to work for a makeup company, and one time I messed up at inventory. All the numbers were wrong and we had to do it again...6 hours of work.

—当您准备去旅行时，要携带什么？为什么？

—Obviously, I always take my camera gear. Ha ha.

—在您拥有的器材中，是否有一些是您后悔购买的？为什么？

—Nothing that I can think of...

—您如何提高自己以拍摄出更好的照片？

—The best way to do this is to always be taking pictures. Whether it's with my professional gear or my iphone, I am always taking pictures and learning about light and composition

—谁的作品对您作为摄影师的影响最大？

—Like I mentioned before, Don and Helen have influenced me the most. I love how they just don't fit in with any cliches. They see things the rest of the world is blind to. It's a beautiful thing.

—开始拍摄时，您最想知道什么？

—I wish I knew to take photos in RAW format...not jpeg. Hahaha...

—您想对自己的照片说什么？

—I want them to show genuine emotions and love. Everything must be real.

—什么激励您继续拍摄下去？

—One of my favorite things to do is meet with other photographers and find out why they started photography, what keeps them going, what their favorite aspects are about it, etc. We did that recently with some amazing people and it really inspired us and motivated us to push ourselves harder to really give our best.

—您的父母是否应该更严厉或变得温和一点呢？

—Hmm... I'd say less. Hehe. But I never got in too much trouble so I guess that's a good thing, right?

—如果能够回到过去，您会有什么不同的举动？

—I would not have cut my bangs myself. Not good.

—对于其他星球上的生命，您有何看法？

—We'll have to go explore and find out won't we???

—谁是您的英雄？

—My husband.

—您不尊重谁？

—I have no respect for selfish and proud people. We all live on the same beautiful earth and we should be giving and display humility in all we do.

—您在业余时间会做什么？

—Apparently I complete long interviews about my life, as I'm doing right now. But also, I mostly take photos and cuddle with my dog. Seriously, my dog is sooooo cute.

—公众从不会看到您的哪一面？

—Woah...perhaps the sheer amount of ice cream that I consume. I will forever love Ben and Jerry's.

—什么时候您对自己的作品完全满意？

—When I make my clients happy cry. That is my biggest satisfaction, because I have done my job correctly.

—您主张男人和女人的传统角色吗？

—I believe everyone has their own mind, their own conscience, and can do whatever they want to do.

—您很容易就会交到朋友吗？

—I am an INFJ. I am introspective, and very observant. When people realize that I'm not bored and am actually just observing them and getting to know them, then we can develop a close bond.

—您想生活在什么地方？

—Without hesitation I can say one day I would love to live in Iceland! We have been twice and we are so in love. It is beautiful and cold and everything I would ever want!

—您答应做的最愚蠢的事情是什么？

—I would have to say...draw tattoos on myself from head to toe with a permanent marker. Yes, you can shake your head...it was very, very stupid.

—结婚之后生活的质量高吗？

—YES! I am married and my life is great. Traveling wedding photographers. What could be better?

—您有最喜欢的玩笑吗？请告诉我们。

—"Why did the cow cross the road?"
"To get to the utter side."
I LOVE COW JOKES!

—您喜欢狗还是喜欢猫？

—DOGS. I love cats too. But I am literally obsessed with dogs.

—您讨厌谁，或者厌恶什么？

—I hate violence, rude people and meat. Yes, I'm a vegetarian.

—生活中最美好的事情是：

—Dogs. Ice cream. Duh.

—生活中最让人烦心的事情是：

—The alarm going off before 8am.

—您是否想改变周围的一些事情？

—If I could change other people's attitudes to make everyone friendly, I would probably change that. But from where I stand, no changes needed.

—您希望改变自己的哪些方面？

—Hmm...I would like to have more patience. I'm just not a patient person but I think it's a great quality to have.

—您希望改变世界什么地方？

—I would like there to be no more animal shelters. All animals have a home and happiness, that is ideal.

—对于刚入行的摄影师，您能提供一些建议吗？

—Yes! Be a part of the community and get creative with your work. Don't try to just copy others and become popular. When you find your own style, stick with it and people will see that it's original.

—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？

—Can I take your picture?

—如果您被邀请去拍一部电影，您希望是什么流派？

—Psychological thriller, for sure. I love that freaky stuff.

—明天我会去做...

—Swimming with whale sharks! I CAN'T WAIT! This will be my second time and it's incredible!
