Fotograf Hiram Trillo

—Er du fotogen?

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

—Hvordan blev du en del af fotografiindustrien?

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

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

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

—Elsker du at rejse?

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

—Hvad kan du bedst lide ved dit fag?

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

—Hvad synes du mindre godt om ved dit fag?

—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.

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ud for fotografering?

—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.

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

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

—Hvordan håndterer du kritik?

—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.

—Er der nogen tendenser inden for fotografering?

—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.

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

—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.

—Hvilke ting er slet ikke tilladt under fotograferingen?

—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.

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

—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

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

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

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

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

—Hvem vil du gerne fotografere?

—Everything!

—Har du nogen professionelle tabuemner?

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

—Hvem ville du gerne fotografere sammen med?

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

—Hvad bekymrer du dig om, og hvorfor?

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

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

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

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

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

—Hvem inspirerer dig i dit liv, og hvorfor?

—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!

—Hvordan definerer du succes? Hvordan måler du det?

—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.

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

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

—Hvad er den største fejl, du nogensinde har begået i dit arbejde?

—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!

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

—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.

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

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

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

—Practice and doing personal projects in different situations.

—Burde dine forældre have været mere eller mindre strikse?

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

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

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

—Hvad med liv på andre planeter?

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

—Hvem er dine helte?

—The people that wake up everyday to do what they can to survive day after day. The men and women who do everything possible to make sure their children have a better life and the people that risk their safety for others as cliche as that sounds.

—Hvem har du ingen respekt for?

—I am no one to judge. But anyone who disrespects my family or people I care about.

—Er der liv efter ægteskabet?

—Of course! I think a new life begins, and it's amazing.

—Har du en yndlingsvittighed? Fortæl den til os.

—I love jokes. Here is a cheesy but have really thought about doing it...-I changed my name on Facebook to "No One" so when I see stupid post I can click like and it will say "No One likes this"

—Dogs. We have two, and I am allergic to cats.
