Fotograf Hitesh Patel

—Først og fremmest - hvem kan du navngive som den bedste fotograf i Dahlonega, Forenede Stater? :)

—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?

—Er du fotogen?

—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 :)

—Hvordan blev du en del af fotografiindustrien?

—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.

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

—Good lighting

—Elsker du at rejse?

—Yes of course.

—Hvad kan du bedst lide ved dit fag?

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

—Hvad synes du mindre godt om ved dit fag?

—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.

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ud for fotografering?

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

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

—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.

—Hvordan håndterer du kritik?

—It only makes me better.

—Er der nogen tendenser inden for fotografering?

—Not that I have come across yet

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

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

—Hvilke ting er slet ikke tilladt under fotograferingen?

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

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

—Invitation cards, wedding gifts, wedding decor.

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

—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.

—Hvem vil du gerne fotografere?

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

—Har du nogen professionelle tabuemner?

—No

—Hvem ville du gerne fotografere sammen med?

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

—Hvad bekymrer du dig om, og hvorfor?

—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.

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

—The day my son was born.

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

—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.

—Hvem inspirerer dig i dit liv, og hvorfor?

—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.

—Hvordan definerer du succes? Hvordan måler du det?

—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.

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

—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.

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

—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.
