En af de gode ting ved Windows 7 er, at den har en meget stærk visuel personlighed. Det inkluderer et meget varieret sæt tapeter fra en lang liste af billedkunstnere. Det sjove er, at de tapeter, som vores team bedst kan lide, er alle skabt af én fotograf. Hans navn er Will Austin , og vi var meget heldige at have ham som gæst i dette interview. Hvis du vil vide mere om ham, og hvordan det lykkedes ham at komme på skrivebordet hos millioner af mennesker, så tøv ikke med at læse vores samtale.

Q: Hvem er Will Austin?^{(Q: Who is Will Austin?)}

Jeg er en kommerciel fotograf baseret i Seattle , hvor jeg bor med min kone og søn. Jeg er født i Colorado , og mine forfædre er for det meste ranchere fra Texas . Selvfølgelig er min hjemmeside willaustin.com, men jeg lægger mit personlige arbejde på min fotoblog, luminanceflux.com, som er en rigtig sjov kreativ udgang for mig!

Q: Hvornår er du blevet passioneret omkring fotografering?^{(Q: When have you become passionate about photography?)}

Min far^(Dad) var en meget dygtig fotograf, og jeg brugte ofte hans gamle Canon Pellix- kamera, men det var min onkel, som var en professionel fotograf, der virkelig hjalp mig ved at lade mig gå på hans fotoskole og bruge hans mørkekammer en sommer, da jeg var elleve. . Han stolede endda på mig med sit Nikon^(Nikon) -udstyr på pro-niveau ! Jeg tog derefter mange fotoklasser i skolen og skød til min gymnasieårbog.

Q: Hvor lang tid tog det dig at blive professionel fotograf?^{(Q: How long did it take you to become a professional photographer?)}

Aldrig sikker på, hvordan man besvarer dette spørgsmål…. men jeg smed det langsomt i årevis, indtil jeg havde nok kunder til at gøre det på fuld tid. Jeg plejer at fortælle folk, at 'jeg er en i denne uge', fordi jeg er 100 % freelance!

Q: Hvordan vil du beskrive det arbejde, du har udført indtil nu?^{(Q: How would you describe the work you've done so far?)}

Jeg startede med at lave en masse naturfotografering og begyndte derefter at lave arkitektur/rejser/mennesker/industri. Jeg kan dog godt lide at fotografere alt, jeg ville gøre det hele dagen og natten, hvis jeg kunne.

Q: Hvordan kom Microsoft i kontakt med dig?^{(Q: How did Microsoft get in touch with you?)}

Faktisk mødte jeg en af ​​deres designere på et arkitekturoptagelser!

Q: Hvordan var det at arbejde med Microsoft?^{(Q: How was it to work with Microsoft?)}

Fantastisk spørgsmål og et nemt svar - helt fantastisk! De var så professionelle, men alligevel så venlige og jordnære, det var en fantastisk oplevelse. Jeg kunne også se, at de virkelig bekymrede sig så meget om deres arbejde og det projekt, de arbejdede på, det var inspirerende.

Q: Hvor tog du de billeder, du sendte til Microsoft?^{(Q: Where did you shoot the pictures you sent to Microsoft?)}

I Seattle ! De 3 arkitekturbilleder blev taget i 'Seattle Center '. Skuddet af hasselbladene med den mørkerøde baggrund blev taget i Washington Park Arboretum på en kølig morgen. Det ordsprogede 'lysskaft' kom gennem træerne og oplyste kun bladene et øjeblik. Jeg har været tilbage der mange gange, men efterårsfarven har aldrig været så smuk igen.

Q: Hvor mange billeder tog du for Microsoft, og hvor mange blev sendt i den endelige version?^{(Q: How many pictures did you take for Microsoft and how many were shipped in the final version?)}

Alle billederne var fra min lagersamling, og de valgte 6 til tapeterne.

Q: Hvilket billede er dit yndlingsbillede?^{(Q: Which picture is your favorite?)}

Wow , det er et svært spørgsmål, jeg kan huske, at jeg tog dem alle. Jeg vil dømme efter følelser og sige hasselbladene, fordi det er det første billede, jeg nogensinde har udstillet i et galleri!

Q: Do you have any interesting/funny events you would like to share about this collaboration?

Åh ja, jeg opdagede, at jeg havde en tidligere familieforbindelse med en af ​​de mennesker, jeg arbejdede med hos Microsoft , hvis bedstemor^{(Grandmother)} passede min far, da han var baby!

Q: Hvilket gear brugte du?^{(Q: What gear did you use?)}

Naturbillederne er taget med Contax gear, arkitekturen med Nikon .

Q: Hvor meget efterbehandling har du lavet på dine billeder?^{(Q: How much post-processing have you done on your pictures?)}

Helt ærligt, næsten ingen. Jeg elsker at lave postarbejde, men disse behøvede det ikke, måske udover støvpletter. Jeg vil dog sige, at disse alle blev taget, da lyset var virkelig smukt, kvaliteten af ​​lyset var min største bekymring.

Spørgsmål: Kunne du tænke dig at gøre din samling tilgængelig til offentlig download?^{(Q: Would you consider making your collection available for public download?)}

Nå, de er allerede derude, og jeg har også set dem på flickr (ikke sikker på lovligheden der). Jeg tilbyder et meget begrænset oplag af print^{(limited edition of prints)} , som jeg er begejstret for.

Q: Hvad synes du om Windows 7?^{(Q: What do you think of Windows 7?)}

Nå, selvfølgelig er jeg meget begejstret for det! Når jeg bor i Seattle , har jeg hørt så mange positive ting om det under udviklingen. Jeg synes, at tapeterne er et godt eksempel på Microsofts^(Microsoft) engagement i brugeroplevelsen, og de fortjener alle de udmærkelser, de har fået.

Will Austin About His Trip to the Desktop of Millions

Onе of the grеat things about Windows 7 is the fact that it has a very ѕtrong visual personality. It includes а very diverse set of wallpapers from a long list of visual artіsts. The funny thing is, the wallpapers which our team likes best are all сreated by one photographer. His name is Will Auѕtin and we were νery fortunate to have him as a guest in this intеrview. If you want to know more about him and how he managed to get on the desktop of millions of people, don't hesitate to read оur conversation.

Q: Who is Will Austin?

I'm a commercial photographer based in Seattle where I live with my wife and son. I was born in Colorado and my ancestors are mostly ranchers from Texas. Of course my website is willaustin.com but I put my personal work on my photoblog, luminanceflux.com, which is a really fun creative outlet for me!

Q: When have you become passionate about photography?

My Dad was a very good photographer and I often used his old Canon Pellix camera but it was my uncle, who was a professional photographer, who really helped me out by allowing me attend his photography school and use his darkroom one summer when I was eleven. He even trusted me with his pro-level Nikon gear! I then went on to take many photo classes in school and shot for my high school yearbook.

Q: How long did it take you to become a professional photographer?

Never sure how to answer this question…. but I chipped away at it slowly for years until I had enough clients to do it full-time. I usually tell people that 'I am one this week' because I am 100% freelance!

Q: How would you describe the work you've done so far?

I started out doing a lot of nature photography and then moved into doing architecture/travel/people/industrial. I like to photograph everything though, I'd do it all day and night if I could.

Q: How did Microsoft get in touch with you?

Actually, I met one of their designers on an architecture shoot!

Q: How was it to work with Microsoft?

Great question and an easy answer - absolutely fantastic! They were so professional yet so friendly and down-to-earth, it was a great experience. I could also see that they really cared so much about their work and the project they were working on, it was inspiring.

Q: Where did you shoot the pictures you sent to Microsoft?

In Seattle! The 3 architecture photos were taken at the 'Seattle Center.' The shot of the hazel leaves with the dark red background was taken in the Washington Park Arboretum on a chilly morning. The proverbial 'shaft of light' came through the trees and only illuminated the leaves for a moment. I have been back there many times but the fall color has never again been that beautiful.

Q: How many pictures did you take for Microsoft and how many were shipped in the final version?

All of the photos were from my stock collection and they chose 6 for the wallpapers.

Q: Which picture is your favorite?

Wow, this is a difficult question, I remember taking them all. I'll judge by sentiment and say the hazel leaves because it is the first image I ever exhibited in a gallery!

Q: Do you have any interesting/funny events you would like to share about this collaboration?

Oh yes, I discovered that I had a past family connection with one of the people I worked with at Microsoft whose Grandmother cared for my Father when he was a baby!

Q: What gear did you use?

The nature photos were taken with Contax gear, the architecture with Nikon.

Q: How much post-processing have you done on your pictures?

Honestly, almost none. I love to do post work but these didn't need it, maybe besides dust spotting. I will say though that these were all taken when the light was really beautiful, the quality of the light was my paramount concern.

Q: Would you consider making your collection available for public download?

Well, they are already out there, and I have seen them on flickr too (not sure about the legality there). I am offering a very limited edition of prints which I am excited about.

Q: What do you think of Windows 7?

Well, of course I am very excited about it! Living in Seattle I have heard so many positive things about it during its development. I think the wallpapers are a great example of Microsoft's commitment to the user experience and they deserve all of the accolades they have been getting.
