Fotograaf Marius Tudor

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

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

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—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.

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—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.

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

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

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

—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.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

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

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—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.

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—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.

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

—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.

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

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

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

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

—Kuidas sa defineeriksid edu? Kuidas sa seda mõõdad?

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

—Mida sa oma fotodega öelda soovid?

—I belive all about wedding photography is about people.
