写真家Annemarie Gruden氏

—写真写りは良い方ですか？

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

—どうして写真撮影業界に入ったのですか？

—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.

—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.

—あなたの職業について一番嫌いなことは何ですか？

—The paperwork.

—未来の写真撮影とはどのようなものでしょうか？

—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.

—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.

—A bad attitude.

—写真家が気づくことができる普段は見過ごさせる細かい点は何ですか？

—Lighting and emotion.

—写真の価値に影響を与えるものとは何でしょうか？その要因は？

—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.

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}
