“First Oscar Really finished the job, can post 555
When Jolie and Amanda asked if they were free There may be a position to take photos. Well, I’m very excited. I’m very excited. I go to a temple and tell my kids that if I go to shoot an Oscar, I’ll raise pork belly, haha.
When the NYT confirmed that it was actually filmed when the meeting is over Sit still in front of the computer for 2-3 minutes and then call Taeng ‘You, I really did it’. I don’t know how it feels. This is as far as we can imagine. I really got to this point.
The Oscar sent a Formal Attire uniform to the event. Usually wear a jacket to the event hahaha The job looks good, just a shirt. I never had a suit. I had to go buy a suit. Sports shoes are not provided. I’ve never worn anything besides Nike, so I had to find black shoes to wear once more. Which actually should have been a formal dress for a long time but never had. After this, this is a formal dress forever.
Fly to LA and stay at Aunt Nong Toei’s house. Thanks a lot to Na Li for supporting everything. Take a pick-me-up, make a diy apple box, get food and water, make a diy bowtie, and much more. Thank you very much
The day of rehearsal for camera testing with the NYT technical team went smoothly. On the actual day, both cameras are not connected to the system. This guy was always having technical issues. NYT had to borrow another photographer’s camera. Learn a new camera in front of the event, haha.
The shortest one, haha. Probably the shortest in the event. Standing on the podium is still shorter than a foreigner, haha. And standing still for 5 hours is something that …… news photographers should understand. Body at the age of 30 is still okay, haha.
Seeing the real Hollywood stars on screen is exciting. This is not even a crazy person. Still excited. When you see Lady Gaga or Rihanna walking by In our hearts The real person is confused. But the most exciting thing is Jessica!!!!! Claire!!!!! I can do it!!!!! I have taken Jess for you!!!!!!!! hahahahahahahahaha
It’s a very memorable experience. Hope there will be a next time, it’s really fun, we’re so glad the industry here supports us a lot. After finishing work, walking out of work means wanting to cry.”
After the Academy Awards Matichon Online made a phone call with Pupae-Jutharat Thai freelance female photographer with stories before getting to work on this “not easy”
Started with “photography” as a hobby. before she gets serious regarding it. Until starting to make a career, fly America to New York City to study photography for a full year before harvesting his work in Thailand Working behind the scenes Not long following, she headed back to New York at the end of 2019 to fight once more. Both taking pre-wedding photos, family photos, portraits, doing everything that people recommend, even if it’s difficult to find someone to hire. And she did not stop developing herself, went out to see work, went to see exhibitions. and practice shooting a lot
The key is to send ports to various media. until the work catches the eye with New York Times until working as a freelance photographer for almost 3 years in with style table She has photographed major events such as the Met Gala following-party, the National Board of Review Awards, and this year’s Oscars pre-party.
Until this time, the New York Times contacted Pupe to photograph the Oscars this year for Together with the team, there are 3 photographers who she is stationed in front of the red carpet. Take pictures of actors who show up in the first look that people will see After being contacted in February She had to prepare, including the outfit that she normally wears only sports shoes. You need to find good shoes, a suit, prepare various equipment. both renting additional lenses To study the rules that she says there are quite a few things that you can’t do, such as not taking name tags at the event.
Before the event started, the young photographer said “Excited and very stressed because it was like a one-time opportunity. If you miss it, it will be ruined. Here people are highly competitive. if we don’t do well He will let other people do the next round. We would love to come back once more. must do well.”
“Each actor came very quickly. There are many photographers there. From every sect, there were dozens of people. The photographer shouted. demanding attention from celebrities for him to look at our camera But sometimes we do it, sometimes we don’t because we think that the picture without looking at the camera Maybe it’s more natural.”
And there was an unexpected story. Happened during this great work. like devices that are not connected The cable provided cannot connect to the camera. But the photo must be uploaded. It also makes the job page stressful. But with a good team support each other Therefore able to solve the problem by borrowing other people’s cameras until the work is done
Unexpected thing already There are equally impressive things regarding her. like meeting “Michelle Yeoh” who is an inspiration for many people
“We went to see Everything Everywhere All at Once and we really liked this movie. It is Asia that we are into because it is close to us. The more we see Michelle Yeo won an award We used to film him at the Time’s Person of the Year event and saw him speak at other events. I was impressed with his efforts. As an Asian woman working in the industry Who tried to follow the American dream. When I saw him, I was excited. The more he got an Oscar, I was delighted. Like last year there was Parasite, this year there is this. It’s more open, more diverse, more global citizen.”
and said, “The Asian community into this matter.”
“After taking the photo, it was a collective feeling. I’m glad that the New York Times sent us to do this job. Friends and acquaintances will know that we have tried a lot and fought a lot. They are also happy. Because it’s not that suddenly Then it will come. It gradually grows. There are many disappointments. We do not give up. We fight until we are like a tree that blossoms and bears fruit.”
“It’s like arriving at the finish line yourself. From the beginning, we dreamed of taking pictures for the New York Times. Still looking for the target Until today, the Oscar was filmed.
Although the picture she described looks colorful, but until today she said that not easy Which she has to try to practice skills like a chef who has to practice cooking, see other people’s recipes, have to practice both watching and doing
“Seeing that we have filmed an Oscar, it’s not that it comes easily. Some people see it and think it’s Success. We don’t like comments that we’re so lucky because we’ve tried a lot until we gradually get more opportunities. We fail. Failed, develop work, get rejected, then develop work back to submit does not mean Anything that comes easily”
“Fortunately, we live in an era where they have opportunities. Open space for ethnic diversity Therefore, there should be more opportunities than the previous generation in terms of performance, must do the best as before. I still have to try now. The competition is very high, we can’t just sit still, others will run ahead of us.”
