Fotograf Hitesh Patel

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

—To be honest, noboby is the best. It depends on what the photographer sees and captures. Everyone has different vision including the clients, so the question is does my photos see your vision?

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—Being a photographer myself, I hate taking my own pictures. Thus, it's rare that I have shots of myself, I just do not look good :)

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—When my son was born, all I wanted to do was take some nice shots. That turned into a passion slowly, and today I am proud of how much I grew as a photographer. From taking photos on a mobile device to professional gear.

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—Good lighting

—Cestujete rádi?

—Yes of course.

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—Creating something amazing. Creating great composition. Creating images that makes my client say "WoW".

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—Nope, honestly I enjoy everything about it. That's why I don't get bored. If you did not enjoy this you wouldn't last too long.

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—I really hope it doesn't change. Weddings are done based on religion and history, and I don't want to loose our history.

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

—You get everything into one genre. Wedding have wide landscape shots, detail shots, portrait shots, close up (headshots), involved. Other genres are strictly one pointed.

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—It only makes me better.

—Jsou nějaké trendy v oblasti focení?

—Not that I have come across yet

—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—How they capture the day and is it what you want your images to look like.

—Co není dovoleno při focení?

—not knowing how to properly take photos, you only have one chance to make it right, the wedding is not gonna happen again.

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

—Invitation cards, wedding gifts, wedding decor.

—Co ovlivňuje hodnotu fotografie? Jaké jsou její prvky?

—Memories of your day, memories of your love one enjoying your wedding day, memories of the little ones running around having a blast, memories of mom and dad crying, memories of the groom reaction when he sees you for the first time.

—Co chcete fotit?

—I love shooting, it doesn't matter to me who is next to me.

—Máte nějaké profesní tabu?

—No

—S kým byste chtěli fotit?

—Again it doesn't matter to me, since I love shooting.

—Čeho se bojíte a proč?

—Couples who are not into the photos aspect of the day. I know some couple hate posing and thus the reason why they don't get into the photos as much as I would like them to be. However, posing is not always required to take great images.

—Jaký byl nejpůsobivější okamžik ve vašem životě?

—The day my son was born.

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

—Haha, I think the best answer would be Iron Man. One of my favorite cartoon/comic character simply because he's into alot of tech stuff.

—Kdo vás inspiruje ve vašem životě a proč?

—My son, he's has very little knowledge and doesn't know alot, but it's for him, I am here working for. I want him to have a better life then what I had.

—Jak byste definovali úspěch? Jak ho měříte?

—Success to me is when I can spend more time with my family without worry about money. One way to measure it is by how many days in a week you spend with your family and how many days you spend working.

—Byli byste raději oblíbení nebo respektovaní?

—I rather be liked then respected. Respect means that you can not be down to earth with me, and can not be your self. Liked your more open to me. I rather have people more open to me instead of being respected.

—Když cestujete, co si berete s sebou a proč?

—Everything, it's better to be well prepared then unpreapred. I take almost everything with me, because I do not know what I will run into.
