摄影师Marius Barbulescu

—您上相吗？

—​Very rarely! :)

—您是如何进入摄影行业的？

—​I was 20 and had a photography class at the University! The moment I shot the first roll of film with a SLR, I was hooked for life! I feel very old at 32 saying I've started photography shooting film.

—在您看来，一张好的照片最重要的组成部分有哪些？

—​To send a message, a feeling or to make you remember things. We’re losing so many good things along the way in our journey through life like innocence, compassion, humanity, sincerity… just to name a few. Kids have them naturally, we’re born rich and most of the people die poor of these.

—您热爱旅行吗？

—​Yes! I can be on the road 365 days a year, but only if I’m with my family. Home is wherever I’m with them.

—对于您的职业，您最喜欢什么地方？

—​
The freedom to organize my life just as I want, the people I meet, the friends I make, the places I visit… I have at least 1000 reasons. Shooting weddings is for me my chance to use everything I experienced personally to create something new every week. Photography is not objective and it's a good thing because it lets us choose how we tell the stories. It's a refuge for me and an act that leaves me with no masks (or very few of them). I'm trying to shoot in a very sincere way.

—对于您的职业，您最不喜欢什么地方？

—​Deadlines! Sometimes it gets frustrating, but I’m getting better and better with them.

—摄影的前景如何？

—​I have no idea, but I’d love to live it.

—您专长的摄影风格有什么特别？

—​For me it’s the freedom it gives me… I have a license to shoot everyone! And weddings are not just super fun, but also extremely diverse. I love that!

—您如何应对批评？

—​Pretty well because I'm already my own fiercest critique. Nobody can match this! :)

—摄影有什么趋势？

—Of course. But good photography is forever.

—客户选择摄影师时应该遵循什么标准？

—​I'd check to see if the work of the photographer I like is consistent, if he blogs every wedding he's shooting and, after a short talk over skype or face to face, if we get along fine.

—拍摄时绝不允许什么事情？

—​Touching people and being in the center of attention.

—有哪些摄影师可以捕捉的通常会被忽略的细节？

—​“Common” people can become excellent photographers with experience. It’s just that good wedding photographers are trained to see more the “in between” moments, small gestures that make all the difference, little stories within bigger ones.

—什么影响照片的价值？它的元素有哪些？

—Composition + moment + light. For a great photo you can't exclude any of these.

—在您看来，什么人可以成为 21 世纪的代表人物？

—​Anyone that can bring peace and make the world a better place for everybody, not just for a few of us. Jesus Christ maybe if He decides to pay us a visit again.

—您想要为谁拍摄？

—I let my destiny to choose that for me.

—您有职业禁忌吗？

—I am never allowing myself to be bored or tired while shooting a wedding... ok, maybe a little bored from time to time, but I'm always trying to make things more interesting.

—您想与谁一起拍摄？

—​So many people and they know who they are… but right now Sergio and Kelly from www.kellyandsergio.com intrigue me a lot. Their work is so original and authentic.

—您担心什么？为什么担心？

—​I worry every time that I’m faking photography and that I suck!

—在生命中，给您印象最深的时刻是什么？

—​The moment my son was born.

—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？

—​Sam Gamgee from Lord of the Rings! If more people would be like him, we’d live in a happier place!

—在生命中谁鼓舞了您？为什么？

—​Anyone who doesn’t put his own self in front of everybody else. We live in a selfish world and I’m trying to cure myself from that too.

—您如何定义成功？如何衡量它？

—​Success is when you manage to bring balance in you and around you.

—您非常受人喜欢或尊敬吗？

—​I don’t fight for any of these, so I can’t answer. If I get to be liked or respected it's because I did something good. I only fight to do good things.

—您如何提高自己以拍摄出更好的照片？

—Every year I buy some photography books (not wedding photography, mostly photojournalism). I look at a lot of pictures (mywed is also a constant source of inspiration) and try to analyze the things I like in a picture. I shoot a lot of IPhone pictures and I try to stay alert to any interesting situations that might occur around me. A photographer should never "sleep", training and educating for this si a life long mission.

—谁的作品对您作为摄影师的影响最大？

—So many, but mostly Saul Laiter, Sam Abell and James Nachtway. In wedding photography it was Jeff Ascough at first and then Ben and Erin Chrisman that started all for me! Their work made me want to become a better wedding photographer for all the good reasons.

—什么激励您继续拍摄下去？

—​The life I have now is a good one, I strive to keep it like this.

—您的父母是否应该更严厉或变得温和一点呢？

—I have the best parents in the world, I wouldn't change anything.

—什么时候您对自己的作品完全满意？

—​I’m far from being satisfied!

—您主张男人和女人的传统角色吗？

—​No.

—您很容易就会交到朋友吗？

—​Friendship is a ship that take a long time to build, so, no, I don’t make friends easily! But I'm an easygoing person, I get along fine with almost everyone.

—您想生活在什么地方？

—​Near a forest and a lake, a few kilometers away from civilization, but with Internet and electricity. :)

—结婚之后生活的质量高吗？

—​Having or adopting a kid is life, so, yes, there is a lot of life after marriage.
