摄影师Tom Wishart

—首先——您能否指出谁是来自斯沃尼奇, 联合王国的最优秀的摄影师？:)

—I'd have to put my hand on heart and name Murray and Myself as the best wedding photographers in Swanage

—您上相吗？

—Oh hell no, but the more time I spend in front of the camera the better I am at having my photograph taken

—您是如何进入摄影行业的？

—I am the son of a photography teacher, discovering my passion for photography and playing with pinhole cameras at the age of three. He was then trained as a photojournalist and found that shooting weddings were my ideal creative outlet. As a wedding photographer I can combine so many different aspects and techniques into my work. I have since developed a passion for capturing people’s natural characters and emotions as well as incorporating experimental photographic techniques into my wedding photography.

—在您看来，一张好的照片最重要的组成部分有哪些？

—Capturing the true emotion of the moment and conveying it well. If i can produce an image that required looking at more than once to understand it I am happy.

—您热爱旅行吗？

—Absolutely, I have spent time travelling around Europe, South America, North America and Australia burning through film and memory cards like there was no tomorrow.

—对于您的职业，您最喜欢什么地方？

—Meeting brides and grooms and being a part of their wonderful weddings. Also being able to work with one of my best friends to create something we are both passionate about.

—对于您的职业，您最不喜欢什么地方？

—The incredibly long and sometimes unsocial hours spent working on images

—摄影的前景如何？

—I think the standards of wedding photography will continue to steadily improve as those at the top of their game differentiate themselves from the crowd. I also believe that available technology will have a major impact on the way we work and the equipment we work with.

—您专长的摄影风格有什么特别？

—The conveyance of real emotion and the ability to take someone back to the feeling of a certain time and place with an image.

—您如何应对批评？

—As a tool to improve

—摄影有什么趋势？

—Always, but I believe in keeping them at a considered arms length. I think wedding photography should be timeless, god forbid any of my clients look back at their images and think they look dated.

—客户选择摄影师时应该遵循什么标准？

—The quality and style of the images should match the couples requirements but as equally important they should get along like a house on fire. After all we are the only suppliers with a bride and groom for their entire day
