Fotograf Hiram Trillo

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—Nope...that's why I try to stand behind the camera :)

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—I have been in photography for a while, but took the leap to wedding photography after being terribly disappointed with out own wedding imagery.

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—Emotion! An image without soul and feeling is an empty image.

—Cestujete rádi?

—Yes! I am lucky enough to be able to travel all over the world capturing memories for other.

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—The range of people I get to meet, and the love displayed across cultures.

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—Traveling without my family! Now that I am a father it's tough leaving my family for days. But I have an amazing wife that is my rock and cheerleader.

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—I don't know and that is what I love about it. Having to discover myself and push myself each wedding is an amazing feeling and hope that I keep pushing forward.

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

—You have one shot! That is it! I love capturing moments as they happen and don't recreate any, so I have one shot.

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—I think well. You have to, no one is perfect and the only way to keep learning and pushing yourself is by listening and paying attention. There will always be "hater" and people that will try to pull you down. Just keep your head up and your client happy.

—Jsou nějaké trendy v oblasti focení?

—Yes, there are always trends and they change all the time. I try not to follow them because most trends die out. I focus on giving my clients timeless pieces with the next generation in mind. I want their children and grandchildren to cherish the images as much as they do.

—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—You must click! You have to have chemistry. Not every client is your client and when you figure that out you will develop amazing client relationships and long time friends.

—Co není dovoleno při focení?

—It's free game with me, I want to see the crazy side of my clients. That's when i know they trust me completely.

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

—That's a tough one. I have seen many things in my career so far but try to document everything. The behind the scenes before the bride and groom step up to the altar are some of my favorite moments

—Co ovlivňuje hodnotu fotografie? Jaké jsou její prvky?

—To me is emotion! Like I mentioned before an images must have feeling and soul.

—Kdo může být podle vás symbolem 21. století?

—I have no idea. There are a ton of inspirational people around the world, selecting only one would be a disgrace.

—Co chcete fotit?

—Everything!

—Máte nějaké profesní tabu?

—Drugs! It's the only thing that I really don't care to be around.

—S kým byste chtěli fotit?

—Robert Capa, James Nachtwey, Annie Leibovitz, Richard Avedon, Arturo Ghergo, Gregory Crewdson...

—Čeho se bojíte a proč?

—Before every wedding I tell myself "You are capturing the most important day of two peoples' lives...don't screw up"

—Jaký byl nejpůsobivější okamžik ve vašem životě?

—The day I got married, followed by the birth of my kids.

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

—Batman! Because I am a comic book geek and Batman has always been one of my favorites.

—Kdo vás inspiruje ve vašem životě a proč?

—My wife and kids. They are the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing before i go to sleep. They keep me on my toes!

—Jak byste definovali úspěch? Jak ho měříte?

—If you are happy and can keep your head up you are successful. Seeing my kids grow up and having my family be proud of not only who I am but who they are as people.

—Byli byste raději oblíbení nebo respektovaní?

—Respected. I rather have someone dislike me because I was honest with them, than being liked because I wasn't.

—Jaká je největší chyba, kterou jste kdy v práci udělali?

—I accidentally formatted a full card thinking it was an old cart. Realized it in time and just put it away and recovered about 98% of images...phew!

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

—Camera, favorite lenses, speed lights, and the stuffed animal my kids send with me. A flash will always be with me because you never know when you need to create your own light.

—Existuje něco, co byste si byli raději nekoupili z vašich pomůcek, které vlastníte? A proč?

—At the beginning I had nothing but gadgets and regretted it every time. Now I have only what I need.

—Practice and doing personal projects in different situations.

—Čí práce vás ovlivnila nejvíce jako fotografa?

—Měli vaši rodiče být méně nebo více přísní?

—They did an amazing job as parents. I would not change a thing about them.

—Pokud byste se mohli vrátit v čase, co byste udělali jinak?

—Not a thing. Every decision I made has brought me to where I am. I would not take a chance of changing anything.

—Co o životě na ostatních planetách?

—I hope there is. It would be selfish of us to think we are the only planet with life. That is just lonely!

—Kdo jsou vaši hrdinové?
