Fotograf Gergely Vas

—Sind Sie fotogen?

—In 99% of the cases I am at the other end of the camera, so it's hard to say :)

—Wie sind sind zur Fotografiebranche gekommen?

—I was the victim of a friend's request, after which I kept being passed around and the circle became wider and wider. I have a colourful personality though, besides wedding photography I like to venture into the more artistic side of my profession.

—Was macht Ihrer Meinung nach ein gutes Foto aus?

—The right subject(s), according history and to capture the unique moment.

—Reisen Sie gern?

—I do! I think I have a "travel-gene" somewhere in me, I pass by a dozen places throughout the year, be it for work or holiday purpouses.
When it concerns work, it is usually Spain, Malta and Cyprus that are top of the list, but I hope this range will widen further.

—Was gefällt Ihnen an Ihrem Beruf am meisten?

—At weddings, it is to allow the couples to relive their most important, most beautiful memories, getting them into fun situations which they are very gratful for – I like it when they thank me for my work and I can see the confirmation in their eyes that I have performed at least at a 100%.
I also like my clients' positive feedback on my ideas and their adherence towards me

—Was gefällt Ihnen an Ihrem Beruf am wenigsten?

—That there is sometimes not enough time for a project :(

—Was ist die Zukunft der Fotografie?

—Uniqueness, creativity, motivation

—Was das Besondere an dem Fotografiegenre, auf das Sie sich spezialisiert haben?

—A fantastic location (which is given at many a mediterranean country), the couples' personal attitude/style and lots&lots of creative ideas!

—Wie gehen Sie mit Kritik um?

—Pretty well! If it's constructive criticism and useful when thought through, then I will definitely integrate it into my daily work.

—Gibt es irgendwelche Trends in der Fotografie?

—Thankfully – and at the same time, unfortunately – yes.

—Was sollten die Kriterien für Kunden bei der Wahl eines Fotografen sein?

—- the pictures and their style
- the personality of the photographer (to meet in person in advance is paramount!)
- flexibility
- finally, the price/performance

—Was ist bei Fotoaufnahmen strikt verboten?

—I have not yet encountered a situation like this – perhaps I am lucky? :)

—Welche Details werden häufig übersehen, die ein Fotograf aber erkennt?

—In this line of work we often have to look ahead in certain situations, we need to notice an important moment before it actually happens. Coherent events, the outburst or even withholding of emotions, a look – overall multiple facets that merge into one single scene.

—Wie bilden Sie sich weiter, damit Ihre Bilder noch besser werden?

—Talk with colleagues, putting up new experiences.

—Was möchten Sie mit Ihren Fotos zum Ausdruck bringen?

—Share moments, emotions, and – if it doesn't concern weddings,- depict my own emotions and gorgeous landscapes

—Was motiviert Sie weiterzumachen?

—I'd like to visit as many places as possible, create extraordinary material to still my hunger for perfection

—Wenn Sie zurückschauen, was hätten Sie besser machen können?

—I do not regret anything...

—Wann sind Sie mit Ihrer Arbeit in jeder Hinsicht zufrieden?

—When I see that an album receives a bright smile even at the second viewing.
Non-wedding relatedly: a direct second order, an honest compliment.

—Schließen Sie schnell Freundschaft?

—I'm an instant blender :)

—Wo würden Sie gern leben?

—Near the sea

—Gibt es ein Leben nach der Heirat?

—I have not tried it yet ;)

—Lieben Sie Hunde oder Katzen?

—Dogs are not just with you out of interest, I respect and love them more, but I am ok with cats too.

—Wenn Außerirdische auf der Erde ankommen und Sie sind die erste Person, die sie treffen, was sagen Sie zu ihnen?

—Hi, would you like to grab a beer? :D

—Morgen werde ich...

—...nothing, just sleep long and deep for a change:)
