во-вторых, это отрывок из видео интервью с одним японским фотографом, Tanaka Nobuaki, который отвечает на вопрос, какой из профессиональных фигуристов произвел на него самое сильное впечатление (годадайтесь с трех раз ;)) http://www.dailymotion.com/video/k4gO9Apjjy0aXbpL9Xt
[ее перевод на английский] The professional skater that most impressed me is Stephane Lambiel. His body lines are in the completely different level than other skaters. Headlines, backlines, and waist line ...Any angles are so beautiful.
I don’t know why that I didn’t have any feeling for him when he was a competitive skater. But when he became a professional skater, only Lambiel's performance I won’t get tired of shooting. No matter how many times. And only he will make me want to continue to shoot photos.
“Oh, I missed this shot. Oh, I missed that shot, too.” Many thoughts would appear in my mind. I wanted to capture both close or long distance, so I took a lot of lenses with me, and it’s really difficult when I have to change the lens. I took this “Long Shot” lens, but the “Medium Close-Up“ camera was hanging on my neck.
After I saw his skating once, I can probably understand the content of the show. When he slides here, I used this shot. And when he slides over there, I used the long shot, or sometimes I use the wide-angle shot.
When he was practicing or in the backstage, I didn’t feel such a strong aura. However, when he started performing, the atmosphere became so powerful and strong. It was amazing. When he was in his costume, he was like in another world. It was so beautiful (handsome) that even he was just simple skating around.
еще из мелочей: • на insideskating.net вышло интервью с Майей и Алексом, они Стефана только упоминают, без подробностей, но зато есть вот такая симпатичная фотография (какая разнообразная реакция у публики на него :)): https://twitter.com/insideskating/status/934807318075764736
• фотографии с прошлогодней "Music on Ice" - "Поэта" и т.д.
