Fotoğrafçı Joey Rudd

—Her şey bir yana sizce en iyi fotoğrafçısı şehrinizde kimdir? :)

—The best wedding photographer for your wedding is the one that you get along with best! Obviously, it is important that you like their style and photos, but most importantly you need to be able to trust your photographer. You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day so I encourage couples to find someone that they enjoy spending time with.

—Fotojenik olduğunuzu düşünüyor musunuz?

—My two year old daughter thinks I am.

—Fotoğrafçılık endüstrisine nasıl giriş yaptınız?

—It kind of just happened. It was a natural progression of taking photos personally to professionally.

—Sizce iyi bir fotoğrafın en önemli bileşenleri nelerdir?

—A good photo is one that tells a story. Couple's trust me to capture the essence of their day in still life and I see this as a very important (and enjoyable!) task. With the exceptions of some of my more creative and double exposure photographs, I endeavor to capture the colours and lighting of a day accurately so that it tells the story of the wedding in a way that the couple can remember it.

—Seyahat etmeyi sever misiniz?

—Did someone say Iceland?

—Mesleğinizle ilgili en sevdiğiniz şey nedir?

—There is something special about being invited to share in the most important day in a couple's life. Moreover, to be trusted to document it for them. I love to hear back from couples about how much they love their wedding photos.

—Mesleğinizin en zor tarafı nedir?

—The behind scenes of running a business. (Cough) Taxes.

—Fotoğrafçılığının geleceği konusunda neler düşünüyorsunuz?

—I am always asking this and seeking to grow as an individual and as a business, but at the end of the day we can only guess. I look forward to the journey.

—Uzmanlaştığınız fotoğrafçılık türünü özel kılan şey nedir?

—That each and every moment is so important and timeless. It goes by so fast for the bride and groom- that is where I come in.

—Eleştiriler karşısında yaklaşımınız nasıl oluyor?

—As with anything that you pour so much of your life into, it can be hard to hear criticism, but I try to learn and grow rather than build walls.

—Fotoğrafçılığı ile ilgili yeni trendler var mı?

—There are always trends, editing styles, colours (or lack there of), airy, moody, etc. I try to stay true to the day itself rather than getting caught up in all of these. I am there to document the day after all.
Although, as a signature, I do enjoy creating a few double exposures for each couple!

—Müşteriler fotoğrafçı seçerken ne gibi kriterleri göz önünde bulundurmalıdırlar?

—Trust. You need to be able to trust them as a person and as a professional.

—Fotoğraf çekimi sırasında kesinlikle izin vermeyeceğiniz şeyler nelerdir?

—Backing off docks in late October. Trust me, the water is colder when you are wearing two cameras. I always bring a change of clothes and, obviously, backup equipment for moments like this, but avoidance is always the best practice.

—Bir fotoğrafçı diğerlerinin görmediği hangi detayları yakalayabilir?

—I am always noticing (or anticipating) moments that are happening at an event. Reactions, emotions, accidents. As a photographer I also tend to see the world around me differently. I am always considering whether or not a specific place would make for an interesting background for photos. It can be hard to turn this off when I am not "on the job".

—Fotoğrafın değerini belirleyen şey nedir? Ne gibi unsurları vardır?

—It can sometimes be surprising to learn what photographs from a day are a couples' favourites. Award winning photographs are not always the ones that are most important to a couple. The tearful hug of a grandparent can be significantly more beautiful than mountains.

—Sizce 21. yüzyılın sembolü kim olabilir?

—Jon Snow. #winteriscoming

—Kimi fotoğraflamak istersiniz?

—I love taking photos of my daughters.

—Mesleğinizle ilgili tabularınız var mı?

—Cellphones. Why are they even at weddings?

—Birlikte fotoğraf çekmek istediğiniz birisi var mı?

—I love shooting with my wife Natalie, she is so talented and incredibly fun to have around. But, there are also so many other talented photographers that I would enjoy shooting with and learning from.

—Hangi konularda endişeleriniz var ve neden?

—With a consistent routine and sufficient backups there is little to worry about. Enjoy life!

—Hayatınızda sizi en çok etkileyen an?

—When I got a standing ovation for a stand up routine in Minnesota... and I am not even funny.

—Çizgi film, edebiyat veya sinema karakteri olsaydınız nasıl bir karakter olmak isterdiniz, neden?

—Jack Pearson from This Is Us. But it's hard to live up that.

—Hayatınızda size ilham veren birisi var mı? Neden?

—So many other wedding photographers. There is so much talent and creativity out there to be inspired by.

—Kısaca başarıyı tanımlar mısınız? Başarıyı nasıl ölçersiniz?

—If I can be a person that someone trusts whether that is a wedding couple or my family.

—Beğenilmeyi mi yoksa saygınlığı mı tercih edersiniz?

—I would love to be both.

—Bugüne kadar işinizle ilgili yaptığınız en büyük hatanız nedir?

—There have been little mistakes here and there, but I have always been grateful to learn from them for the future so that they don't become big mistakes down the road.

—Bir seyahate giderken yanınıza alacağınız şey nedir? Niçin?
