I go into each and every single wedding with the hope of making a picture. A picture that I can honestly look at and say "i really love that picture". I make it for me. The byproduct is that the client will also love it. But I make it for me. It may not win any awards, but who cares.

Now, I may only make three or four images per year that I feel this way about, but they all seem to have one thing in common. They're real moments. Perhaps it's my roots as a photojournalist. I love some of the more creative portraits that I do, but they wont impact me as much as these real moments.

给新人拍照的前一天晚上十一点多, 我还在看 Cliff Mautner 的博客，希望大师的拍摄能对我有一些启发。 Cliff Mautner 是世界十大婚礼摄影师之一，当他成为第一个使用Nikon D3的婚礼摄影师时（Nikon是他目前的器材赞助商），Blog一周访问量达到25万PV。上面的一段关于‘Real Moments’(我想应该翻译成'真实的瞬间')的文字就摘自Cliff Mautner的博客。

 

新娘晓棠的婚礼是成功的，不光对她来讲成功，对我来讲也成功！
