Fotograaf Annemarie Gruden

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

—I believe we are all photogenic. Beauty starts on the inside and it radiates out.

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—Backwards through the fashion and editorial industry that I grew up as a photographer in Calgary. I moved to Ottawa and applied my talents on the wedding industry with the photography skills I learned in the fashion industry.

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—Capturing the life force behind my subjects.

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—Absolutely YES.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

—Th formula for photography stands true and consistent, lighting composition exposures so that supports my need for consistency BUT I love the variation I find in locations, clients and every project is just that little bit different to keep me excited about creating images and capturing life changing moments.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

—The paperwork.

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—I see wedding photography as an editorial. I LOVE documenting the day in the life elements at each wedding. Wedding photography progress's as does the world around us.

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—The people I get to meet. Capturing moments for them to look back on for years to come.

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

—Constuctively.

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

—As in any profession yes. Do I get stuck in them, sometimes... but sometimes its nice to add a few new elements to the creative game. Personal style and industry knowledge is always growing and changing slightly.

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

—Personality and photographic style. Make sure you like both.

—Mida pildistades kindlasti ei tohiks teha?

—A bad attitude.

—Mis võiksid olla need detailid, millele tavaliselt tähelepanu ei pöörata, kuid mida fotograaf võib märgata?

—Lighting and emotion.

—Mis teeb fotost väärtusliku? Mis elemendid on olulised?

—Timeline elements. does it still scream greatness after 6 months a year even... Composition, lighting, does the emotion of the moment or personality shine thru. These elements are key for me.

—Kas sul on teatud ametialaseid tabusid?

—Momma razzi's... and any other person who's picked up a DSLR and call themselves a professional with no knowledge of the industry or training.

—Kellega koos sa tahaksid pildistada?

—Annie Leibovitz

—Kas sa tahaksid, et sa pigem meeldiksid inimestele või et nad austaksid sind?

—Respected first – likes second.

—Mida sa endaga reisides kaasa võtad ja miks?

—ALL my favourite cameras and lenses. So I don't miss that shot...

—Kuidas sa ennast koolitad, et paremaks fotograafiks saada?

—Always be open to learning and seeing new things. I studied for 4years at an Art College BUT I believe you have to study somewhere for a foundation then you learn the art and craft of the profession by actually shooting {mentoring with a PRO is always a good place to learn the day to day elements of photography}

—Mida sa oma fotodega öelda soovid?

—I like to capture beauty and moments that tell stories. Images that uplift and give a sense of pleasure or peace to the viewer.

—Mis motiveerib sind fotograafina jätkama?

—I've always been in the arts... I wouldn't know how to be anything else.

—Kas sa arvad, et sinu vanemad oleksid pidanud sinuga olema rangemad või leebemad?

—NO, They allowed me to be me and pursue my artistic side, hence falling into photography and loving it.

—Millal sa oled oma tööga täiesti rahul?

—When client smiles, sometimes cries tears of joy at the images captured. I know I've done my job well.

—Kas sa usud meeste ja naiste traditsioonilistesse rollidesse?

—Not really. We all play pretty equal roles in life, we are her to support and nurture each other to walk through this journey we call life.

—Kas sa leiad kergesti sõpru?

—I like to think so.

—Kas pärast abielu on elu?

—Absolutely.

—Parim asi elus on:

—LOVE & the occasional Starbucks

—Kõige ärritavam asi elus on:

—Telemarketers that always have the best solution to get higher rankings on google ~ LOL

—Mida sa iseenda juures tahaksid muuta?

—I would LOVE more creative time, to just make art.

—Kas sa võiksid anda mõned näpunäited alustavatele fotograafidele?
