Fotograf Anne Ling

—Hvordan blev du en del af fotografiindustrien?

—My way in photography started 10 years ago with editorial and fashion. But I've always admired real people and real emotions much more. So that's how I've started documenting weddings and other important life moments in different countries.

—Elsker du at rejse?

—I'm a passionate traveller. I've already been to 39 countries and I'm really happy that my work is international.

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

—Wedding photography combines documentary and fine art photography. So being a professional in both is crucial.

—Hvad påvirker værdien af et foto? Hvilke elementer indeholder det?

—Time influences the value of a photo the most. Photos are like good wine – the older the better. While capturing a wedding I always keep in mind that this photos will keep the memories through the years.

—Har du nogen professionelle tabuemner?

—I never photograph people in embarrassing situation or angle.

—Hvis arbejde har haft størst indflydelse på dig som fotograf?

—I've studied fine arts since childhood. So all the great painters, photographers, film directors influenced me a lot.

—Hvad vil du gerne fortælle med dine fotografier?

—That it is much more important to collect feelings not things. Nothing will be more valuable for you through the years than a teardrop on your mother's cheek or a sincere hug of your best friend or a picture of you two standing on the edge of the earth holding hands and looking to each other's eyes.

—Hvad motiverer dig til at fortsætte med at tage billeder?

—My clients, of course. When I send them their photos and receive an answer: "We are totally in love with our photos! Thank you so much, Anne!!!"
In such moments I feel absolutely happy!
