Fotograf Edwin Sanchez

—Za prvé a především – koho můžete jmenovat jako nejlepšího fotografa ve vašem městě? :)

—I consider myself amongst the best wedding photographers in San Pedro Sula

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—I try to be. hahaha

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—I was freelance graphic designer and always had an interest in photography. My work led me to eventually pick up a DSLR and it totally changed my life. I studied at NYIP and learned many basic skills in all types of photography. Shooting my first wedding for a close friend I realized that in wedding photography you have to use all of those skills (product photography, photojournalism, portraiture, posing, directing, fashion photography). I have been hooked since then.

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—Lighting and composition are, in my opinion, the two most important factors in all photography. They are not the only ones, however, there is also posing, timing, anticipating, and creating a real connection with the couple will also translate into great images.

—Cestujete rádi?

—I love traveling! From getting there, be it by sea, land or air, to actually getting to know new places, cities, cultures, people. My family and I enjoy traveling and it's one of our top common passions.

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—Being creative! Creating amazing images for my couples and seeing their reactions when we deliver them. It's an absolute joy to be able to light, compose, direct and capture and image that brings joy to my couples and myself.

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—It's hard for me point it out. Maybe alway wanting new photography gear. hehe

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—Couples will start to be more conscious about The Experience that they'll enjoy with the photographer they choose for their wedding. Final images will still be most important but the bond that forms between them and their photographer will certainly take a prominent role.

—Co je výjimečného na žánru fotografií, na který se specializujete?

—The connection that builds between the photographer and the couple and their family. If that connection is there the images will definitely show it.

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—I believe everyone is allowed their own opinion

—Jsou nějaké trendy v oblasti focení?

—Sure there are, at the time of writing this Dark and Moody edits and elopements are all the rage . Couples have to be careful to choose something that they really love and that they will enjoy 5, 10, 20 years from now and not just something that is trendy at this moment.

—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—First they have to love the work their photographer makes. And second they have to feel that connection, that "click". The better the relationship with their photographer the better their images will turn out.

—Co není dovoleno při focení?

—Missing the moment! A photographer must be ready and alert to capture the most important moments in a wedding cause they will not happen again.

—Jakých detailů, které obvykle projdou bez povšimnutí, si může fotograf všimnout?

—The beauty that hides in the details.

—Co ovlivňuje hodnotu fotografie? Jaké jsou její prvky?

—Lighting, composition, posing, edit, etc.. are all technical terms. But it is how you use them together to create an image that brings back feelings, emotions that truly holds a photo's value.

—Kdo může být podle vás symbolem 21. století?

—Barack Obama. Not for being a great president but by being a great example and role model of what Human should be. Passionate, Compassionate, Driven and given to his fellow man.

—Co chcete fotit?

—Couples full of life that love to travel and loves their family.

—Máte nějaké profesní tabu?

—I don't think so.

—S kým byste chtěli fotit?

—Jerry Ghionis, Lindsay Adler, Michael Anthony, Joe McNally.

—Čeho se bojíte a proč?

—I worry about the planet. As a species we are definitely not taking such good care of Mother Earth.

—Jaký byl nejpůsobivější okamžik ve vašem životě?

—The day of my wedding to my beautiful wife. I don't consider myself as special in the "VIP" kinda sense. But getting married in the Vatican by a Cardinal definitely made me feel like a child of God.

—Pokud byste byli animovaná, literární nebo filmová postava, kdo byste byli a proč?

—I think I consider myself a Chandler from FRIENDS. Kind of a goofball but very creative, good at my job and deeply in love with my family and friends.

—Kdo vás inspiruje ve vašem životě a proč?

—My mom and my wife inspire me. My mom because she fought hard to raise 4 children on her own and give them the best education that she could. And my wife because she has motivated me to become better in all aspects of my life.
