Photographe Marius Tudor

—Êtes-vous photogénique ?

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

—Comment avez-vous commencé à travailler dans la photographie ?

—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.

—Selon vous, quels sont les éléments les plus importants d'une bonne photo ?

—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.

—Aimez-vous voyager ?

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

—Quel aspect de votre profession préférez-vous ?

—Quel aspect de votre profession aimez-vous le moins ?

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

—Quel est le futur de la photographie ?

—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.

—Qu'est-ce que le style de photographie dans lequel vous travaillez a de spécial ?

—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.

—Comment gérez-vous les critiques ?

—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.

—Y a-t-il des modes dans la photographie ?
