Fotograf Dan Fedez

—Først og fremmest - hvem kan du navngive som den bedste fotograf i Cabo San Lucas, Mexico? :)

—There are some really good photographers here, each one with it's own style.

—Er du fotogen?

—I usually look better on the othe side of the camera haha

—Hvordan blev du en del af fotografiindustrien?

—Had the opportunity to work with a company that does lifestyle photography, after a year I jumped to wedding photography with them and 1 year later I decided to work by myself.

—Hvad er de vigtigste komponenter i et godt billede efter din mening?

—Good lightning, being able to control the light is key.

—Elsker du at rejse?

—Of course, who doesn't! That's actually what approached me to photography! You will see a lot of traveling photos as well on my social media.

—Hvad kan du bedst lide ved dit fag?

—For the wedding couple there's always the doubt of how are the photos going to be, but looking at their reaction and excitement once they see them it's one of things to feel thankful for.

—Hvad synes du mindre godt om ved dit fag?

—Bridezillas haha or sometimes the maid of honor. I know, I know; they want everything to be perfect on the big day, but hey, you have to trust me on this one, let the art behind the lenses flow!

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ud for fotografering?

—Hopefully better and better photographs, there's a little bit of doubt about photography and the upcoming technology, but I think the artsy element it's always going to be human, no matter what.

—Hvad er der specielt ved den fotografigenre, du specialiserer dig i?

—It's more intimate, you get to know real people and as a photographer you have to become one with the wedding itself. Achieve that connection with groom and bride and also the guests.

—Hvordan håndterer du kritik?

—Photography as an art has been always very subjective, but there's something no one can deny; a good photo is a good photo! Even if you can't explain it. Also in photography you never stop learning, so I don't take criticism too serious, just take the best part of it and forget the rest!

—Er der nogen tendenser inden for fotografering?

—Yes, the same as any other style of photography or even art; there's always gonna be tendencies, some may follow them, some may not and some may create them.

—Hvad bør kriterierne være for en kunde, der skal vælge en fotograf?

—Read the bio, see their pictures and see if you really feel identified with that specific photographer, remember; is the best day of your life!

—Hvilke ting er slet ikke tilladt under fotograferingen?

—Not to be open to suggestions, I've seen a lot of photographers mounted on their egos, shooting their own style not paying attention to what the couple wants! Big mistake!

—Hvilke detaljer, der som regel går ubemærket hen, vil en fotograf bemærke?

—It's hard to be in different places at the time, it's always good to count on a second camera to get that little details that can be missed for a bit of a sec while doing the "important shot".

—Hvad påvirker værdien af et foto? Hvilke elementer indeholder det?

—Laughs, reactions, true feelings, a good photographer is able to capture the essence of the moment!

—Hvilken person kan være symbolet på det 21. århundrede efter din mening?

—We live in an era of super individualism, anyone doing a little bit something for the goodness of everyone is a symbol!

—Hvem vil du gerne fotografere?

—Any couple in the search of genuine photographs, that ones that comes easy for everyone as there's a connection between couple and photographer.

—Har du nogen professionelle tabuemner?

—Photoshop. To make a photograph look the way it is "supposed to be" instead of showing the real thing!

—Hvem ville du gerne fotografere sammen med?

—I think Jim Carrey is one of the most interesting persons in the world, for me he sees life through different eyes than the average person.

—Hvad bekymrer du dig om, og hvorfor?

—Sometimes technology can play tricks on you or even betray you, but as long as you are well prepared, there's nothing to worry about.

—Hvad har været det mest imponerende øjeblik i dit liv?

—The present! I've always been to "easy going" to worry about the past, or future, just try to relax and enjoy the moment!

—Hvis du var en animeret figur, en fiktiv person eller en person i en film, hvem ville du så være, og hvorfor?

—Probably a captain of sci-fi movie, imagine to see all the stars and constellations and galaxies through that perspective.

—Hvem inspirerer dig i dit liv, og hvorfor?

—Michael O'neill is one of my favorite photographers, he have had such amazing opportunities to shot super interesting people like Orson Welles, Steve Jobs, Scorsese and many Master Yoguis.

—Hvordan definerer du succes? Hvordan måler du det?

—Success is achieve your purpose, one step at a time. That your couples likes and thank for your work, that's how you know you've made it correctly!

—Foretrækker du, at folk kan lide dig, eller at de respekterer dig?

—It's easy to get liked, but not that easy to get respected. So to achieve that is the measure of it.

—Når du skal rejse, hvad tager du så med dig, og hvorfor?

—My camera, is part of the essentials! Like; wallet, keys, camera, cellphone, right?

—Hvordan uddanner du dig selv til at tage bedre billeder?

—Getting inspired by other photographer's work and some self-criticism.

—Burde dine forældre have været mere eller mindre strikse?

—As kids we never truly understand why our parents do the things they do. And then one day the phrase "you will understand when you are older" makes sense.

—Hvis du kunne gå tilbage i tiden, hvad ville du så gøre anderledes?

—Probably being more risky in certain moments of my life but I'm pretty happy and thankful for where life has get me to.

—Hvad med liv på andre planeter?

—I think it's very selfish to think that we are the only ones in such a big universe.

—Hvad er det dummeste, du nogensinde har indvilget i at gøre?
