Fotografer Marius Tudor

—Anda fotogenik?

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

—Bagaimana awal Anda masuk ke bidang fotografi?

—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.

—Apa komponen terpenting dari foto yang baik menurut Anda?

—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.

—I think we have to understand the new generation, people between 20 and 25 years.

The future of wedding photography stays in crazy shots. Traditional is dying.

—Apa yang istimewa dengan genre fotografi kekhususan Anda?
