Thoughts that I often follow, phrases that I often use (often - comic):
- Favorite camera - the one in the hands.
- A favorite picture is a picture of a loved one.
- The photographer quickly and accurately determines the movement of the entire shooting.
- The photographer assumes all responsibility for his actions and decisions.
- Contrast kills color.
- Nikon or Canon? It doesn’t matter when there is money.
- Nikon or Canon? The correct answer is 'go to photography school'.
- Nikon or Canon? Photoshop always wins!
- The photographer is rated on the basis of the five worst shots (the Lynx taught me this).
- Cold? Learn to take off with gloves.
- Cold? Shoot in the studio.
- You take pictures of the bride in winter, in the cold, and everyone is frozen - you are a loser!
- You are filming a pregnant bride in the winter and only the registry office - congratulations, you're done!
- My best photo was taken with 'not what', but 'with whom!' (Look for someone to shoot!)
- My best photos were taken 'not by what', but 'where and when!'. (Look for the location and time of the shoot!)
- In most cases, you take pictures of what is inside of you and how is inside of you.
- Yes, I photograph flowers and birds - I have flowers and birds inside.
- The client is always right. It's a service industry baby! If the client says that he does not have a double chin - remove the double chin! In photos from DSC_1987.JРG to DSC_9000.JРG inclusive!
- Why take one photo if you can take two? (this is my favorite saying).
- Pleiner in summer, studio in winter.
- A wedding photography at the beginning of the journey is a beautiful illusion.
- Only an idiot can dream of becoming a wedding photographer in Ukraine. One needs to dream about becoming a very good wedding photographer. I dream most often about how to add another review.
- I am an applied mathematician by education and I know what percentage to give for a client.
- Sharp for the client! Sharp customer!
- Noises - to print!
- Photoshop to the priests, if you have the usual TN.
- It's disgusting to look at your pictures processed on a bad monitor. Bought a cool camera? Buy a cool monitor!
- 100 weddings - and you're a cynic!
- As a surgeon, I cut people in batches.
- It seems to me that an experienced surgeon is most like an experienced photographer. Both are aware of the insides of people.
- My operator Kolya always says - there is sun and no sun - diaphragm five and six!
- My cameraman knows photography better than all these photo gurus. He says - take pictures of people? Be a psychologist!
- For two years I could not see how the light falls on some photographs, I was always surprised that other pros immediately see and recognize complex or interesting light in the photo. Those who take up photography are blind, they have to learn to see.
- I can go to ordinary films and watch them in 3D. Damn brain guesses about light sources.
- Models look at facial expressions, members of the forum look at the background or sharpness, bombiles look at the budget, and pros know the behavior of the first three types.
- I do not like 'soap', 'hole', 'carcass'. I use other words.
- The first mistake many novice photographers in our countries make is the hellish lightroom presets.
- World! Work! Fix!
- I am ashamed of 99% of my shots.
- I delete more photos per day than some take in my whole life.
- The idea that many homebrew photographers can design a lens with crystal lenses with zero aberrations does not go out of my head, but ask them to show at least one picture - they dissolve like fog.
- One of my favorite photos - Pale Blue Dot and her description by Carl Sagan.
