—客戶選擇攝影師的標準有哪些？

—Three things: portfolio, personality, and of course, budget.

—您如何開始從事攝影行業？

—My wife's idea. We photograph the nature, when we were hiking – eventually my wife started to photograph people – finally our friend took us to photograph her wedding in Mexico – and this is how I started my journey with wedding photography.

—您上相嗎？

—I don't feel like a photogenic person.

—您認為一張好照片裡最重要的元素有哪些？

—moment, composition and light. You have to have those three elements in order to have perfect photo.

—您熱愛旅行嗎？

—Yes – I love traveling. So far I lived in three different countries and in two different continents. I was born in Poland, lived for 6 years in USA and finally moved to Canada, where I am living today.

—您最喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—I am dealing, most of the time, with happiness and love during the day of wedding. I am in constant movement – meeting different people. The life looks like the box of chocolates – you never know what kind of clients you get :)

—您最不喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—Uncertainty of the future bookings.

—您如何應對批評？

—I am handle very well constructive criticism – criticism helps my development of being better photographer.

—拍攝時應該避免哪些事項？

—I don't see that kind of things.

—攝影的前景如何？

—Difficult to say – maybe the future will be screenshot from the video coverage. For sure there will be more and more competitiveness with the guests capturing the moments through their better and better phones and their ability to instantly share those photos on all social media platforms.

—您擅長的攝影類型有什麼特別之處？

—In few hours the photographer needs to capture the story of love between the bride and groom, connection to their friends, and nurture of their parents.

—客戶選擇攝影師的標準有哪些？

—First of all, it's important that the bride and groom identify themselves with the photographer and his work, the choice should be made by whether they consider he is the one who's worth recording their lifetime memories. Then, they should absolutely watch an entire wedding shot by the one they chose. I like being approached by future weds who know a thing or two about photography and who got their mind set on what they really want.

—您如何開始從事攝影行業？

—I started taking pictures in 2000 and shooting weddings in 2008. At first, I didn't want to do weddings, I thought it would diminish my work. But I started anyway and found the most challenging environment, I discovered that no matter what type of photography you do, you can always reinvent yourself and find new ways to tell a story. Especially when you meet extraordinary people all the time :)

—您上相嗎？

—I consider I ain't, but it so happens that on occasion some other photographer catches the good/bright sight of me.

—您認為一張好照片裡最重要的元素有哪些？

—First & foremost, the people involved and their mood (if you're shooting people), then the light (I began ”seeing” the light after years of shooting) and the decisive moment. I don't agree that the quality of a photograph is not important, but it indeed comes in second after the feelings it produces.

—您熱愛旅行嗎？

—So much that if it would be possible I would be traveling all the time.

—您最喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—The diversity – today I'm shooting a wedding, tomorrow a baptism, after tomorrow a concert, then a family portrait, a corporate event or some landscape. It's what keeps me connected all the time.

—您最不喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—Having too much to edit.

—您如何應對批評？

—I'm all in for constructive criticism, don't like destructive one. That's why we're here on My Wed, right? To constantly learn from other photographers and document ourselves about where we are as wedding photographers. I, for one, would like to hear more criticism about my work and where to improve. Here's an idea: you could implement a section where each photographer could post one photo/week for critique :D

—拍攝時應該避免哪些事項？

—Getting in front of the photographer.

—攝影的前景如何？

—I think it is constantly evolving and that we'll always see changes for the good. We'll always have trends that come and go, the important thing is to know who you are and do what you really like, not necessarily follow the hype.

—您擅長的攝影類型有什麼特別之處？

—Oh, everything about it is special. I must admit I suffer when someone refers to it as a banality, thinking that ”real artists” don't do wedding photos. Special is meeting new people, seeing new places or facing new challenges. Besides war photography, I find it the most challenging type, you get to meet all kinds of situations during one day: different light every minute, you get to shoot outdoors and indoors, in plain sun or in the shadow of a tree/building, inside a cave or on a mountain top etc. etc. Need I say more?

—客戶選擇攝影師的標準有哪些？

—They should like: the photographer's seeing and feeling.

—您如何開始從事攝影行業？

—I started working in a large and famous photostudio which worked mainly with photoshooting weddings and other events. When I shot my first wedding I realized that this is an event that includes all aspects of photography – portrait, landscape, reportage, macro and I fеll in love in wedding photography.

—您上相嗎？

—Yes, I think so :)

—您認為一張好照片裡最重要的元素有哪些？

—The most important component in e a good photo are the emotion, the feeling.

—您熱愛旅行嗎？

—I love to travel.

—您最喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—That I'm around the people in their most emotional moments, diversity, dynamism, movement.

—您最不喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—Physical fatigue.

—您如何應對批評？

—I accept them for now. :)

—攝影的前景如何？

—I want the future to surprise me :)

—什麼事物會影響照片的價值？它包含了哪些因素？
