Pa buku lake lachisanu lofalitsidwa padziko lonse lapansi lotchedwa "Angelo", adalembapo ena mwazojambula zamkati monga Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio ndi Lily Aldridge kuti apereke msonkho wamasamba 304 ku mawonekedwe achikazi. Kuwomberedwa kwakuda ndi koyera, zotsatira zake ndi zodabwitsa kunena pang'ono. Poyankhulana mwapadera ndi FGR, wojambulayo amalankhula za kuwombera zithunzi zamaliseche, momwe luso lasinthira, mphindi yonyadira kwambiri pa ntchito yake ndi zina.
Ndikuyembekeza kuti anthu amawona zithunzi zomwe zili zokopa, zolimbikitsa, zopatsa mphamvu kwa amayi komanso zomwe zimasonyeza chikondi changa pa kuwala, mawonekedwe ndi mawonekedwe.
Ili ndi buku lanu lachisanu losindikizidwa padziko lonse lapansi. Kodi ndi zosiyana nthawi ino?
Buku lachisanu ili ndilodabwitsa kwambiri kwa ine chifukwa sindinali wotsimikiza ngati lingakhalepo mpaka nditapempha zambiri kwa anthu anga. Ndakhala ndimakonda kwambiri kujambula zithunzi zamitundu yambiri: mawonekedwe, mafashoni, zikhalidwe zakubadwa, anthu otchuka komanso 'amaliseche'. Mabuku anga 4 am'mbuyomu akhala akungoyang'ana kwambiri ndipo bukuli likungoyang'ana kwambiri 'zamaliseche'. Ndinali wodzichepetsa kwambiri ndiponso wosangalala pamene anthu amene ndinawafunsa anavomera, chifukwa zinasonyeza kudalirana kumene ndimaona kuti n’kofunika kwambiri. Ndinazitenga kutanthauza kuti mayi yemwe ali m'bukhulo amamva kuti kuwomberako kunali chinthu chomwe amayi ena angasimikire, ndipo ndicho cholinga changa nthawi zonse.
Ndakhala ndikufunitsitsa kudziwa, mumasankha bwanji zithunzi zomwe mungaike m'bukuli? Ziyenera kukhala zovuta kuchepetsa ntchito yanu. Kodi muli ndi mkonzi kuti akuthandizeni?

Ali Franco wakhala wotsogolera wanga kwa zaka zoposa 15. Ndi munthu yekhayo amene ndimamulola ‘kutsutsa’ zosintha zanga ndipo ndi munthu yekhayo amene ndimamukhulupirira kuti adzawunikanso filimu ngati kuti anali ine. Timagwirira ntchito limodzi ndipo wandithandiza kufika pazithunzi zoyenera nthawi zambiri. Kupanga mgwirizano ndi gawo lofunikira pakuchita bwino.
Kuyambira pachiyambi cha kuwombera mpaka kumapeto kwa kuwombera, cholinga chanu pa seti ndi chiyani?
Pakuwombera wamaliseche cholinga changa choyamba ndikuchita momwe ndingathere kuti phunziro langa likhale lomasuka komanso losatetezeka. Cholinga changa chonse ndi kupanga chithunzi chomwe mutuwo mwiniwake adzachikonda osati kunyozedwa kapena kudyeredwa masuku pamutu - ndikufuna mkazi wa fanolo kuti azinyadira chithunzichi ndikuchikoka zaka khumi kuchokera pano ndikuti 'Ndine wokondwa kwambiri. Ndili ndi chithunzi ichi'.
Kugwira ntchito ndi Chinsinsi cha Victoria, mwina muli ndi imodzi mwantchito zosangalatsa kwambiri padziko lapansi kwa anyamata ambiri. Munayamba bwanji kuwombera VS?
Palibe tsiku lomwe limadutsa kuti sindiyamikira mwayi wanga waukulu wogwira ntchito limodzi ndi imodzi mwazinthu zodziwika kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi za azimayi. Ndidawonedwa ndi Purezidenti, Ed Razek, ataona mndandanda wazithunzi zomwe ndidajambula Stephanie Seymour m'magazini yayikulu, komanso chivundikiro chomwe ndidachita mwezi womwewo wa Sports Illustrated of Tyra Banks.

Sindimaona mopepuka ndipo ndimadziuza ndekha kuti ndili bwino ngati kuwombera kwanga komaliza, kotero ndikudzipereka kwa onse awiri. O, inde, ndinali ndi mwayi wodziwika!

Ndili ndi mnzanga wamkulu yemwe ndi woyendetsa ndege wa kampani yake yobwereketsa (Zen Air) ndipo tagwirana chanza kuti tisinthane ntchito kwa zaka zingapo-ooddly akuwoneka kuti akufuna ntchito yanga momwe ndingafunire! Ndikuganiza kuti kuwuluka kumalankhula ndi chibadwa changa cha 'osauka' kuti ndizikhalabe kosalekeza.
Mukuyembekeza kuti anthu atenga chiyani m'buku lanu?
Ndikuyembekeza kuti anthu amawona zithunzi zomwe zili zokopa, zolimbikitsa, zopatsa mphamvu kwa amayi komanso zomwe zimasonyeza chikondi changa pa kuwala, mawonekedwe ndi mawonekedwe. Ili ndi chiganizo chachifupi ndipo sindidzakwaniritsa ndi aliyense, komabe ndiye malo apamwamba omwe ndingakonde kugunda!
Kodi pali aliyense wamafashoni kapena wotchuka yemwe simunayambe kuwombera pano ndikulakalaka mutatero?
O mai, ochuluka kwambiri. Ndimachita chidwi ndi anthu ambiri. Nthawi zina chifukwa cha kukongola kwawo kwakukulu, kupambana kwawo, chikhalidwe chawo. Ungakhale mndandanda wautali kwambiri. Pamaso pa anthu otchuka pakali pano Jennifer Lawrence, Beyonce, Lupita Nyong'o ndi ena omwe ndimawona kuti ndi odabwitsa.
Ndi nthawi iti yomwe mwanyadira kwambiri pantchito yanu mpaka pano?
Nthaŵi yonyadira kwambiri ya ntchito yanga inali yokhoza kuuza makolo anga, kalelo mu 1996, kuti ndinali nditalipidwadi kujambula chithunzi, m’malo molipira ndalama zanga zonse. Magazini ya W inathyola chilala changa cha zaka 7 ndikundilipira ndalama zambiri za $ 150 pakuwombera. Ndinatsala pang'ono kubwerera ku ntchito yachitsulo ndi kujambula zithunzi monga mbuye wanga wachinsinsi yemwe sanakhale mkazi wanga.
Mwakhala mukuwombera kwa zaka makumi awiri, ndipo muyenera kuwona momwe kujambula kwasinthira. Kodi pali kusiyana kotani pakati pa pano ndi pamene munayamba?
Ndawona kusintha kodabwitsa kwaukadaulo ndi zomwe zimalola. Ndikuganiza kuti chinthu chachikulu paukadaulo ndikuti chimapanga gawo lofanana. Nditayamba ndimayenera kugwira ntchito zina zambiri kuti ndingolipira filimu ndi kukonza, kenako mankhwala onse oyipawo adalowa mumtsinje ndipo ndimayembekezera kuti anali 'opanda poizoni' monga tidawuzidwira. Tsopano wojambula zithunzi akhoza kuyamba pamtengo wokwanira kwambiri ndikupatsa anyamata ngati ine ndi ena zovuta kuyambira tsiku la 1. Izi ndi zathanzi kwa aliyense chifukwa zimatipangitsa ife kukankhira kuti tikhale bwino.
Zomwe sizinasinthe ndi zomwe anthu ngati Irving Penn ndi Richard Avedon anandiphunzitsa: kuyatsa, kupanga mwadala ndikukhala ndi chidaliro chotsatira chibadwa chanu chopanga - ndicho chilinganizo chomwe sichingatsogolere ku mafelemu abwinoko nthawi zonse.
Monga PS ndimadzuka tsiku lililonse ndikuganiza, 'Zithunzi zanga zimayamwa! Sindidzagwiranso ntchito!’. Ndimadumpha pabedi ndi izi ngati mphamvu yanga yoyendetsa. Sindikudziwa ngati izi ndi zabwino koma zimagwira ntchito.
