前幾天在google news上看到這新聞的，想說沒人po就po一下 CNN news link: http://goo.gl/45PAV CNN Photo Gallery: http://goo.gl/qDdL4 快來台灣啊啊啊啊(抱頭) *** 翻譯來了，這次有點給他長 (CNN) -- We've come to know her as Lady Gaga, but before the world tours, "The Fame" or even the dress made of meat, photographer Malgorzata Saniewska knew her simply as her restaurant co-worker, Stefani Germanotta. 在我們熟知的Lady Gaga舉辦世界巡還演唱會前，發行The Fame前，或甚至設計了生肉裝之前。攝影師Malgorzata Saniewska對Lady Gaga的認知僅不過是一個餐廳工作夥伴-- Stefani Germanotta。 === In the summer of 2005, Saniewska, who goes by Maggie, happened to be tending bar at the same West Village restaurant where the 19-year-old soon-to-be star worked as a waitress. Just 24 at the time, Saniewska had moved from her native Poland to the United States two years prior with dreams of becoming a photographer. 2005年夏天，Saniewska跟同樣在West Village餐廳當調酒師的Maggie工作。在那，她碰到了即將成為巨星的19歲女服務生。Saniewska在24歲時從波蘭遷居到美國，身懷著成為攝影師的夢想。 === But to support herself, "I started working as a bartender," she recalled. "It was definitely a money thing. I did want to go to school, but I didn't do research on photography, my focus was to make better money." Keeping an eye on her bank account is what drove Saniewska to study accounting, leaving photography to become an amateur pursuit for a while. 她回憶說：「我從當調酒師作為開始。當然這都是為了錢。我當然很想去學校，但是我沒有在攝影上專研，我當下只專注於賺更多錢。」一直關注銀行帳戶的Saniewska最後選擇去念會計，最後攝影變成業餘的嗜好。 === She went from taking landscape photos of New York City to setting up her own shoots, with Gaga being among some of her first ones. "We were colleagues, we didn't hang out really heavily, but she's the nicest girl ever. ... She's down-to-earth," Saniewska said. "At that time, she gave me a CD of her first single, and I listened to it and I was really impressed. And she's a beautiful girl. Based on her looks and her personality I thought (a photo shoot) would be great fun." 她從拍攝紐約的景觀開始，同時Gaga也成為她鏡頭下一開始的主角。「我們是同事，但我們也不怎麼常一起出去，但她(Gaga)是最棒的女孩...她非常樸實。」在那時候，Gaga 給了我一張錄有她的單曲CD，聽了之後我非常有感覺。同時她也是個美麗女孩。從她的長相跟特質來看，我認為跟她從事攝影會非常有趣。 === Back then, Gaga "played piano and sang. This 19-year-old girl, she was really talented. She didn't talk about it a lot, (but) she did say that she studied music. ... I cannot even explain to you what she sounds like with just a piano, then or now," Saniewska said. "I offered her the photo shoot, and she said yes right away." Gaga had the perfect location in mind: Her parents' place on the Upper East Side. (CNN has reached out to Lady Gaga's rep for comment.) 回到那時候，Saniewska說：「Gaga彈鋼琴兼演奏。這個19歲的女孩，真的非常有才華。她不怎麼談這些事，不過她的確有說她在修習音樂。我幾乎沒辦法用言語跟你解釋Gaga 彈鋼琴時的聲音，不論現在或過去都一樣。」「我邀請她來跟我一起拍照，她立刻就答應了！」Gaga知道哪裡是最佳的攝影地點：她雙親在上東區的房子。 === The two young women hopped on a train and headed over there, and set to work creating what Saniewska says became Lady Gaga's first photo shoot, although Saniewska didn't know that at the time. "The house was empty, it was just the two of us," Saniewska said. "I knew she was a singer, so our focus was her and her very first piano. We just hung out in her parents' living room, and the piano was right by the window." "She's a good model, obviously," Saniewska added with a laugh. 這兩個女生就這麼跳上了火車前往Gaga雙親住處，並且準備開始攝影。那時，Saniewska 並不知道她們拍的是Lady Gaga第一張攝影照。「整間屋子只有我們兩個人。我知道她是歌手，所以當然聚焦在Gaga的第一台鋼琴。我們在她雙親的客廳閒晃，而那台鋼琴就在窗戶旁邊。」Saniewska笑著說：「Gaga顯然是一個很好的模特兒。」 === Armed with just her first point-and-shoot camera, Saniewska let the intimate shoot unfold organically. "We had no plan." "We basically walked into her house, she did hair and makeup, picked out the clothes and we started," she recalled. The lighting was natural: "No strobe lights, nothing special, no tripods," she said. "It was hand-held." Saniewska僅用那台傻瓜相機讓整個攝影活靈活現的呈現出來。「我們跟本沒什麼計畫！」「基本上我們就走進她家，Gaga跑去化妝跟穿衣服，我們就開始了！」「沒有閃光燈，連三腳架都沒有！一點也不特殊！全程都是我手持相機來拍攝的。」 === Saniewska, who's never been formally trained, said she shot around 200 photos that day. After culling through the resulting images, choosing the photos with the best natural lighting, she presented Gaga with a CD of the pictures. The burgeoning singer was happy with them, and used some of the art for her own promotional materials. Of course, there's no way Saniewska could have known that the young woman she photographed on a summer day in 2005 would become the international superstar she is today. As a matter of fact, Saniewska says that at first, when she saw her as Lady Gaga, she didn't recognize her, having been accustomed to her as a long-haired brunette waitress. Saniewska從來沒有接受過正式的訓練，但在那天她就拍了近200張照片。在把照片經過較正跟篩選後，Saniewska把附上照片的CD拿給Gaga。事實上，Saniewska說當她第一次以"Lady Gaga"這個身分看到她昔日的同事時，她根本沒認出來，在她印象中Gaga是一個棕色長髮女的服務生。 === Even as Gaga's fame continued to grow, Saniewska kept those early photos to herself "out of respect," she said, particularly because she wasn't in touch with her. And then, she just so happened to bump into her old colleague in 2010. "I actually ran into her in the East Village, and she came up to me. She was already Lady Gaga, and we spoke a little, and she leaned on me, and she said in my ear, 'Did you know that this was my first photo shoot?' I had no idea," Saniewska said. "She was really excited. From that moment on I figured I could do something about it. And she's OK with it." 即使Gaga的聲望水漲船高，Saniewska仍謹慎的保存這些早期的照片。尤其他們已經沒在見面了。就在這時候，在2010年她巧遇了Gaga。Saniewska說：「我在East Village遇到她，Gaga也朝我走過來。那時候她已經是Lady Gaga了，她倚在我身上，閒聊了一會。她在我耳邊說：『你知道這是我第一次的攝影經驗嗎？』我壓根都不知道！」「從那時候開始，我就想我可以幫Gaga作些什麼，Gaga也欣然接受。」 === Saniewska hopes that those viewing the photos will get to see another side of Gaga, a peek at who the star was before the world knew her name. But even with all the fame, to Saniewska, she's "still the same girl. The fact that we ran into each other and she came up to me - she didn't say 'Hi' and run off. She stood there for 15 minutes, just chatting. She remembered my name, she remembered who I was, and she had so much to say. She's still the same person to me." Saniewska希望那些看到Gaga過往照片的人能夠了解在全世界都知道Gaga名字前，Gaga也有那過往的一面。儘管Gaga已經名聲赫赫，對Saniewska而言，Gaga仍就是那個她所認識的女孩。事實上，在我們巧遇那次，Gaga並沒有對我說個「Hi」就跑掉。她在那邊跟我閒聊了15分鐘。Gaga記得我的名字，她也記得我是誰，她也有很多話想我說。「Gaga在我心中還是那個19歲的女孩。」 *** 不知道為什麼有種莫名的感動!! 快來台灣啊啊啊!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 111.251.213.232 ※ 編輯: hedonist891 來自: 111.251.208.80 (02/28 18:05) ※ 編輯: hedonist891 來自: 111.251.208.80 (02/28 18:05)
