Fotograf Lili Castillo

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

—Me! ;)

—Er du fotogen?

—I don´t think so.

—Hvordan blev du en del af fotografiindustrien?

—I started in Madrid, when I went to study a master's degree in photography. What I start as a job to pay the bills ended as something that I love to do.

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

—Light, composition and moments.

—Elsker du at rejse?

—Yes, it inspires me a lot. Thats why I love doing multicultural weddings, I love knowing more about other cultures, traditions and religions.

—Hvad kan du bedst lide ved dit fag?

—Search for unique moments that do not repeat, and make them look beautiful and powerful, make images that convey emotions.

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

—I think that wedding photography is the combination of many types of photography in a single day portrait, documentary, product, etc.

—Hvordan håndterer du kritik?

—It is very important to hear constructive criticism to grow as a photographer. It's hard to evolve without humility.

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

—I would say that each photographer has a look, if you see his portfolio and you feel identified with his or her images I think it is for you. In the end he will be your eyes that day.

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

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

—An image that is beautiful, powerful or tells a story.

—Hvem vil du gerne fotografere?

—Rather than thinking of a person I would think of an animal, the snow leopard. Since I saw the movie "The secret life of Walter Mitty" I was shocked thinking about living an experience like that.

—Hvem ville du gerne fotografere sammen med?

—With Paul Nicklen or with Cristina García Rodero.

—Hvem inspirerer dig i dit liv, og hvorfor?

—I don't have a muse that inspires me, I think what inspires me are the relationships between people, I like the challenge of being able to capture those relationships in images.

—Hvordan definerer du succes? Hvordan måler du det?

—Success for me is to be the best photographer I know I can be, it is not a challenge against someone else but with myself. I think that as long as you love what you do you can always find a way to be better.

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

—Both, you can seek the balance.

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

—My camera obviously, I could not have experiences and not want to keep them.

—Er der noget, du ville ønske, du ikke havde købt blandt de tingester, som du ejer? Hvorfor?

—Economic lenses, I did it when I was a rookie and I would never do it again.

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

—Practicing, seeking criticism from other people I admire, and putting on personal challenges.
