It was very exciting to have a chance to interview Bradford Rogne, the talented photographer who recently photographed Jessie Pavelka, Marco Dapper, Jakub Stefano, and other hot models, Bernardo Coppola and Pablo in the past months.

Indeed, today we bring you the conversation!! Let’s start to get to know more about Bradford Rogne from here, shall we ?

Could you tell us a little about yourself and how you got into photography?

I first discovered the transformative power of photography when I was 15, growing up in Sacramento , CA. A good friend of mine just had her photos taken by a German fashion photographer and I was blown away. I decided in those moments of looking thru her photos, that photography was an itch I had to scratch. I’ve been itching ever since! I moved to San Francisco immediately after high school and began shooting for the local modeling agencies. It all just snowballed from there.

Do you remember your first published photography? How did you think and feel?

I was lucky enough to have my work published in some small local publications, while I was still in high school. Ifound local magazines with small to no budgets, and worked my way in. At the time, I felt it validated my work, and gave me a huge sense of accomplishment. Now, I get even more satisfaction from seeing my work online. You get instant feedback from people all over the world, and reach audiences you that might not have seen your work otherwise. How amazing is that!

How would you describe your photographic style and how it has developed over the years?

I’ve always gravitated towards beauty, so I think my work has been and will always be a little sexy. I’m still exploring, so at this point in my career, it’s hard to say what defines my point of view. At the moment, I light everything! I rarely use natural light on it’s own, and favor multiple combinations of light sources. In studio or on-location, my strobes are with me. Last year, Jil Greenberg was a big inspiration, and I think that may have influenced my work a tiny bit.

What makes you choose to shoot something in B&W or color?

I think it just strikes you in the moment. I always have a vision in my head of the final outcome, so whatever that is, I shoot for.

We assume, there are times when everyone tells you that your photographs are good, but you are not satisfied with it. What do you think about this point?

It’s hard to have perspective on your own work, just as it’s hard to have perspective on yourself

You see things that other people would never notice, but I realize that. The one wonderful lesson that I’ve learned over years working with so many actors is that everyone is their own worst critic. I refuse to be that person, even though it’s tuff sometimes. Create it, and enjoy it as it is.

Will you publish your own photography book?

I’d love to publish a book of my work at some point. I’m just guessing that process will start to evolve on it’s own. We’ll see!

Do you have any words of wisdom to offer someone aspiring to become a photographer?

My biggest bit of advice is to listen. Find a mentor or mentors who inspire you, and learn all you can. Know-it-all’s always take the long road. Offer your time for free to a photographer who can inspire you, and give you a careers worth of insight. You’ll be glad you did
