摄影师Maria Simon

—首先——您能否指出谁是来自伊维萨, 西班牙的最优秀的摄影师？:)

—I think the best photographer is the one who you feel a connection and comfortable with. Each wedding is unique as is your vision of photography.
There is no " best". Its more about the most suitable for you.

—您上相吗？

—If a friend catches me in a candid happy moment, yes!

—您是如何进入摄影行业的？

—I always loved to paint and craft and my plan was to study arts. But then a camera got into my hands and I felt so enthusiastic and passionate about taking pictures that I decided overnight to become a photographer. The rest is history :-)

—在您看来，一张好的照片最重要的组成部分有哪些？

—If I remember it :-) We have so much visual input every day. If a photo creates a feeling, a mood and tells a story, its a big winner. Of course the tones, setting and composition are important too. Most of all they have to fit the story.

—您热爱旅行吗？

—Yes I absolutely LOVE traveling and capturing weddings across Europe.

—对于您的职业，您最喜欢什么地方？

—Connecting with people and finding beauty in everything. The freelance aspect. Creating constantly. The process of editing and putting the story together. I absolutely LOVE to meet so many inspiring souls along the way.

—摄影的前景如何？

—您专长的摄影风格有什么特别？

—I work across various genres and they all have their magic.

—您如何应对批评？

—Criticism lets me grow constantly and pushes me out of my comfort zone.

—您有职业禁忌吗？

I love all the actors from the earlier days...its an endless list :-)

—在生命中谁鼓舞了您？为什么？

—people in general inspire me, sometimes a short conversation with a stranger brings a new aspect to my life

—您如何定义成功？如何衡量它？

—Its already a big success when you love what you do and make a living from it.

—I was never a provocateur. I just want to create magical moments, capture beauty in all ways and create timeless memories. The world is a tough place and somehow I just want to take you with me to a happy place.

—什么激励您继续拍摄下去？

—First of all my happy and grateful clients. They keep me going and motivated! And probably my creative mind when I have a new story in my head.

—对于其他星球上的生命，您有何看法？
