Q：旅游世界? A：Vadim Sherbakov

Q1：How did you get into photography？

A：It was more than 15 years ago. It was just a hobby and I started as everybody else， shooting family portraits， macro， city etc. I was bad at it and have no direction or style， was just shooting what I saw. I started with film-camera and then later on switch to digital cameras. With film it was a bit difficult to see that you get straight away， so digital helped me a lot to developed my style and technique.

Q1：您是如何成為一名攝影師的？

A：15年前，我和其他人一樣，開始拍攝全家福、微距照片、城市景觀，當時只是一種愛好。我并不擅長攝影，沒有明確的方向和個人風格，只是拍攝我所看到的東西。我開始用膠片相機，后來又改用數碼相機。使用膠片相機很難確保一次就能得到你想要的拍攝效果，數字技術幫助我形成了個人風格，完善了自身技術。

Q2：Can you describe the steps you take to photograph buildings？ Such as what kind of preparation will be made in advance.

A：First I do research of a city or a place with many mediums such as Instagram， Google search ， Google maps， 500px ect. I saw what other photographer done with this building. What angles， what focal length etc. Sometimes if I pass this place I will stop and shot on my iPhone just to have a preliminary reference shot or to see if this building is not abstracted by anything like construction or renovations ect. Also I check if this building have a manmade illumination at night. I will roughly determine what type of lens to use for this building. Then a wait for a good weather is starting. I love to shoot at the sunset and blue hours， it's the best time to shoot architecture.

If we talking about interior shots then I will often try to see if access to the building is open， or if there any way to get the access to it such as guided tour or other type of permissions.

Q2：您能描述一下拍攝建筑物的步驟嗎？例如提前進行哪些準備工作？

A：首先，我會通過多種方式、渠道對某個城市或地方進行研究，例如Instagram，谷歌搜索，谷歌地圖，500px等。我能了解到其他攝影師如何對這座建筑進行拍攝，包括角度、焦距等等。有時，如果我經過那里，我會停下來用蘋果手機拍照。作為即將拍攝的對象，我會注意這座建筑物是否被諸如建筑整修工程所掩蓋。我也會了解這座建筑在夜間是否有人工照明?；谶@些信息，我會大致確定用于拍攝的鏡頭類型。然后等一個天氣好的日子。我喜歡在日落和夜間拍攝，這是拍攝建筑的最佳時間。

如果是內部拍攝，那么我會了解建筑是否對外開放，或是否有方法可以進入建筑物，例如游覽或其他入內許可。

Q3：From an architectural point of view， what kind of buildings do you think fit your aesthetics and are worth photographing？

A：I love many types of buildings， old， modern， religious ect. My main criteria that the building should be unusual ， unique and/or photogenically beautiful.If I would be to choose only one I would say historical building is my favourite.

Q3：從建筑學角度看，您認為哪種建筑符合您的審美觀且值得拍攝？

A：我喜歡許多類型的建筑物，包括古老的、現代的和宗教建筑等。我的主要標準是建筑物應與眾不同，或具有攝影美感。如果我只選擇一種類型，我想歷史建筑是我的最愛。

Q4：Why did you choose to photograph these stairs？?

A：It started suddenly and unexpected. I typically photography cityscape and architecture staring at sunset， so during the day you either scouting or do nothing in terms of photography， since the is no "good " light. So one day I was thinking of shooting something during the day that requires no outside light nor depend on weather conditions， and also what can allow you to explore the different locations. Whats how "World of Staircase" and later "Look up" projects were born. I always loved great pictures os staircases so it was a natural to choose this as a day time shooting subject.

If we tasing about those stair cases and what attracted me to them is their curves， style， symmetry and colours are among the elements that inspired me to shoot them.

Q4：為什么選擇拍攝這些樓梯？是什么吸引了您關注它們？

A：突然有一天我就有了這個想法，這也出乎我自己意料的。我通常在日落時拍攝城市景觀和建筑。在白天，我有時四處觀察，有時什么都不做，因為白天光線不好。有一天，我想在白天拍攝不需要外部光線也不依賴天氣狀況，同時可以探索不同地點的攝影對象——這便是《樓梯世界》和《仰望》誕生的過程。我一直都喜歡以樓梯為主題的攝影，自然而然地選擇它作為白天的拍攝對象。

談及拍攝樓梯，吸引我的是它們的曲線、風格、對稱性和色彩，這些也正是啟發我拍攝靈感的要素。

Q5：In your opinion， what are the elements of a good photographic work？

A：Symmetry is a powerful element for sure， color， light， design is all a peaces that can make or break good photo.

Q5：您認為優質攝影作品應有的要素是什么？

A：對稱性是一個重要元素，色彩、光線、設計都是可以決定作品優劣的要素。

Q6：Can you share some of your most meaningful photographs？

A：Symmetry is a powerful element for sure， color， light， design is all a peaces that can make or break good photo.

Q6：可以分享一些您拍攝的最有意義的照片嗎？

A：當然。比如這些我最喜歡的以樓梯為主題的攝影作品。

Q7：Are there any new shooting plans or new attempts in the future？

A：I have to go back to one of most beautiful city in Russia that is St Petersburg and visit some awesome locations.

Q7：未來是否有新的拍攝計劃或新的嘗試？

A：我會回到俄羅斯最美麗的城市之一——圣彼得堡，并會去造訪一些很棒的地方。
