Fotograf Marius Tudor

—Sunteți fotogenic?

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

—Cum ați ajuns în industria fotografiei?

—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.

—Care sunt cele mai importante componente ale unei fotografii bune, după părerea dvs?

—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.

—Vă place să călătoriți?

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

—Ce vă place cel mai mult la profesia dvs?

—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.

—Ce vă place cel mai puțin la profesia dvs?

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

—Care va fi viitorul fotografiei?

—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.

—Ce este special la genul de fotografie în care sunteți specializat?

—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.

—Cum răspundeți criticilor?

—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.
