Fotograf Marius Tudor

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—My mother loves all my pictures, she belives I am photogenic!

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—I have started almost 6 years ago after I met my love Gabriela. I did not start with shooting flowers, but I took it straight the hard way. Three months after I grabbed my first semi-professional camera I shot for free my first wedding. Since then, I shot almost 200 weddings and 100 baptisms.

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—I strongly belive in a moment as the first component and I am always fighting to find it. Before finding the moment, I scout for the best light condition and I am making some composition scenarios. Having all those elements in my mind I start to shoot until I get what I want. Sometimes nothing happens in the frame, but patience is my ally.

—Cestujete rádi?

—I love to travel and I belive seeing as many places as I can helps me to develop as a man.

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—I love people and the fact that I always have to be on alert! I do my best to never be bored. My couples gives me the energy to go forward.

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—I would love to have more time to visit my family.

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—I think we have to understand the new generation, people between 20 and 25 years. They are different than the people we've shot before and trying to adapt to their way of living, thinking and acting will be the next step in our business. The future of wedding photography stays in crazy shots. Traditional is dying.

—Co je výjimečného na žánru fotografií, na který se specializujete?

—What's special? It's special because we connect new people every day (some of them are coming into my life to change it), it's special because I can wake up and go to sleep when I want, it's special because we have the power to make people happy.

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—Sometimes it's hard to handle it, but I've learned lately how to manage situations like this. I started to listen more and even if I fight for my opinion if the criticism makes me think about how can I improve myself I am cleaning the trash.

—Jsou nějaké trendy v oblasti focení?

—There are no trends in wedding photography. If there is one, that one will be good photography. Everyone wants to improve it!

—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—Máte nějaké profesní tabu?

—As I said before, there's nothing forbidden.

—S kým byste chtěli fotit?

—Čeho se bojíte a proč?

—For the moment I have no worries, I am young and restless, but I always think at the moment when I will not be able to help people in need.

—Kdo vás inspiruje ve vašem životě a proč?

—I am inspired by people who manage to do something great for the others.

—Jak byste definovali úspěch? Jak ho měříte?

—We can define and measure only our success. What success means for me may not be the others success defintion. For me success means to balance your personal life with your career and to be happy with the balance, to be surrounded only by the people you love and to do only what you like to do.

—Byli byste raději oblíbení nebo respektovaní?

—Existuje něco, co byste si byli raději nekoupili z vašich pomůcek, které vlastníte? A proč?

—Jak se vzděláváte, abyste pořidili lepší fotografie?

—I am going to workshops, I shoot and read a lot (books, articles, others experiences).

—I wish I knew how to free my mind. I was very stressed about tehnical stuff.

—Co byste rádi řekli skrze vaše fotografie?

I've seen a lot of photographers wasting their time during the wedding day taking pictures of the rings, wedding dress and other stuff like this while people let go their emotions.I want to show with my photographs how my clients felt their wedding day.

—Co vás motivuje v dalším focení?

—My couples!

—They did not like me to do the mistakes they did in the past. They realized later that my life is not their life.
