摄影师Josh Jones

—您上相吗？

—Sometimes... If I've gotten enough sleep and have a glass of wine or two

—您是如何进入摄影行业的？

—In 2004 I got a digital camera for Christmas, back when digital cameras weren't attached to every device. I was facinated with how you could freeze time, and then view the past later. I couldn't set it down. A few years later I shot my first wedding, fell in love with it and 10 years later have shot over 200.

—在您看来，一张好的照片最重要的组成部分有哪些？

—A moment. For sure. If it doesn't have this it's not worth remembering. After that, certainly lighting and composition go a long way.

—您热爱旅行吗？

—Absolutely. We have traveled all over the world taking photos!

—对于您的职业，您最喜欢什么地方？

—I love that every weekend I get to be a huge part of someone's "most important day of their life."

—对于您的职业，您最不喜欢什么地方？

—Crazy church ladies that force me to shoot from 100 feet away in the balcony during the ceremony.

—摄影的前景如何？

—More and more instant gratification. A one month turn around average for a wedding will turn into a day.

—您专长的摄影风格有什么特别？

—The father of the bride that has never cried in public before. The look on the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time. The uncle that doesn't normally drink is dancing up a storm on the dance floor.

—您如何应对批评？

—I love it. As long as it is constructive it is one of the biggest gifts you can give to me.

—摄影有什么趋势？

—Always are. Always will be. I think the washed out vintage look is certainly "in style" right now, and I can't wait for it to go away.

—您担心什么？为什么担心？

—I've found that the energy I've wasted in the past on worrying about things was better spent on just doing what I was supposed anyway. No regrets. No fear.

—您非常受人喜欢或尊敬吗？

—Respected.

—您如何提高自己以拍摄出更好的照片？

—Getting out there and shooting. Practice. Practice. Practice. And never stop trying new things.

—谁的作品对您作为摄影师的影响最大？

—Susan Stripling.

—您在业余时间会做什么？

—I make wine. My wife and I own a small winery and vineyard here in Greenville, SC and love everything from the vines, to the land, to the people that come into our tasting room.

—什么时候您对自己的作品完全满意？

—Never.

—您想生活在什么地方？

—Greenville, SC. It is the best place in the world for me and my wife. If it wasn't, I would move. Life is too short to live in a place that isn't best for you and your family!
