Fotograf Marius Tudor

—Er du fotogen?

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

—Hvordan blev du en del af fotografiindustrien?

—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.

—Hvad er de vigtigste komponenter i et godt billede efter din mening?

—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.

—Elsker du at rejse?

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

—Hvad kan du bedst lide ved dit fag?

—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.

—Hvad synes du mindre godt om ved dit fag?

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

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ud for fotografering?

—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.

—Hvad er der specielt ved den fotografigenre, du specialiserer dig i?

—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.

—Hvordan håndterer du kritik?

—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.

—Er der nogen tendenser inden for fotografering?

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