面试

  • 您上相吗?

    Not really, mainly because I pull stupid faces when I find myself on the wrong side of the camera.

  • 您是如何进入摄影行业的?

    The old story of the couple with no money, an old uni friend with a decent camera and a firm agreement that there’d be no posed photos.

  • 在您看来,一张好的照片最重要的组成部分有哪些?

    For me it’s all about the genuine moment, captured without any intervention by the photographer. A moment that would have happened even if the photographer wasn’t there. A moment of action, emotion, great light, etc.

  • 您热爱旅行吗?

    I do, but in comfort. I’m more of a city person than a wilderness person.

  • 对于您的职业,您最喜欢什么地方?

    Working for myself and (kinda) gatecrashing parties.

  • 对于您的职业,您最不喜欢什么地方?

    The assumption by some that I’m at the wedding to take control of everything and to take boring, posed photos of the guests.

  • 摄影的前景如何?

    Not sure I even know what the ‘present’ of wedding photography is. I just do what I do and hope enough people each year want that.

  • 您如何应对批评?

    Depends who it’s coming from and how constructive it is.

  • 摄影有什么趋势?

    Always somebody doing something that everybody else copies until something else comes along. Trends get old quickly (see ‘couple in rain with flashgun’, etc.)

  • 客户选择摄影师时应该遵循什么标准?

    Approach is key for me. They either want to just get on and enjoy their wedding and have a record of it, or they want to spend the day modelling for pieces of art or fashion photography (or somewhere in between). A connection with the photographer’s portfolio, and a desire to see themselves in those images, is a good guide.

  • 有哪些摄影师可以捕捉的通常会被忽略的细节?

    I don’t think there is anything specific. A good wedding photographer will have an eye for a moment or an interesting composition or great light that most won’t have, but the key thing is that when you’re employed to shoot a wedding you approach it from a different angle to a friend or family member who is there to enjoy the wedding. I am paid to be observant. Plus, I see what the common people are doing. I’m there to photograph everybody, not just the couple.

  • 在您看来,什么人可以成为 21 世纪的代表人物?

    For me, whoever does the most to increase education and encourage the use of reason and logic in decision-making from the top to the bottom of social and political hierarchy.

  • 您想要为谁拍摄?

    Anybody that trusts me completely and who will ignore me.

  • 您有职业禁忌吗?

    I won’t work for people or companies that I perceive to be helping to make the world a worse place.

  • 您想与谁一起拍摄?

    Nobody. I like working alone.

  • 您担心什么?为什么担心?

    Time and money and my misguided perception that I have a shortage of both.

  • 在生命中,给您印象最深的时刻是什么?

    Completing this interview.

  • 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?

    Butthead from Beavis & Butthead, because he.. he… he. You said would. He.. he…

  • 在生命中谁鼓舞了您?为什么?

    I’m not good at absorbing or recognising inspiration.

  • 您非常受人喜欢或尊敬吗?

    Depends who is doing the liking and respecting.

  • 您在工作中犯过的最大错误是什么?

    Running up the stairs of Marylebone Town Hall with a zoom lens precariously perched in a jacket pocket didn’t end well.

  • 当您准备去旅行时,要携带什么?为什么?

    Clothes, money, phone, a camera of some sort.

  • 在您拥有的器材中,是否有一些是您后悔购买的?为什么?

    A Panasonic GF1 that I barely used and that my wife dropped and damaged after I’d had it for a couple of weeks. I don’t get on with cameras without viewfinders.

  • 您如何提高自己以拍摄出更好的照片?

    Take more pictures.

  • 谁的作品对您作为摄影师的影响最大?

    Nobody specific, but seeing in 2004/2005 that a documentary approach was a viable option for wedding photography was the push I needed to start doing it myself.

  • 您想对自己的照片说什么?

    The truth.

  • 什么激励您继续拍摄下去?

    People keep paying me to come to their weddings.

  • 您的父母是否应该更严厉或变得温和一点呢?

    My mum got it pretty much spot on.

  • 如果能够回到过去,您会有什么不同的举动?

    I would make better use of my enquiring mind and study science or engineering, so that I could be of more use to the world and future generations.

  • 对于其他星球上的生命,您有何看法?

    Presumably, but we’ll wipe out life on our own planet before we make contact with life on others.

  • 谁是您的英雄?

    I don’t really have any. They’d only ruin it at some point.

  • 您不尊重谁?

    Those who promote fear, intolerance and lies to feed their own greed.

  • 您在业余时间会做什么?

    I do DIY, or I play my ukulele, or I go to (mostly metal) gigs or I do a crossword.

  • 公众从不会看到您的哪一面?

    Most of my sides. I’m a fairly private person.

  • 什么时候您对自己的作品完全满意?

    Dunno, it hasn’t happened yet.

  • 您主张男人和女人的传统角色吗?

    Like most traditions, best left in the past. Live and let live.

  • 您很容易就会交到朋友吗?

    I really don’t. I’m friendly and approachable and I get on with most people, but I’ve been burnt too many times so I keep most people at a few arms’ length.

  • 您想生活在什么地方?

    In a huge warehouse apartment in NYC, or in a cosy old manor house surrounded by a few acres, or on top of a hill in Scotland.

  • 结婚之后生活的质量高吗?

    It’s just a certificate and a great party. As you were.

  • 您有最喜欢的玩笑吗?请告诉我们。

    “Some people like cats and some people don't. Apparently the Pope's a cataholic.” Milton Jones

  • 您喜欢狗还是喜欢猫?

    I prefer cats to dogs, but I don’t like the damage they do to your house, so am currently resisting my family’s desire to own one.

  • 您讨厌谁,或者厌恶什么?

    Overuse of hate.

  • 生活中最美好的事情是:

    Freedom. And Five Guy’s Bacon Cheeseburger, All The Way.

  • 生活中最让人烦心的事情是:

    Procrastination. And people constantly changing speed on the motorway when I’m using cruise control.

  • 您希望改变自己的哪些方面?

    I’d like to have more self-belief.

  • 您希望改变世界什么地方?

    I’d like to ensure everyone gets a quality education and eradicate dependence on myth, legend and violence.

  • 对于刚入行的摄影师,您能提供一些建议吗?

    Take your own (decent) food, and wear comfortable shoes.

  • 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?

    That I want a ride in their spaceship.

  • 如果您被邀请去拍一部电影,您希望是什么流派?

    A very dark and gory horror film.

  • 明天我会去做...

    …something less boring instead.
