Fotograf Hitesh Patel

—Zuallererst - wen können Sie als besten Fotografen in Dahlonega, Vereinigte Staaten nennen? :)

—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?

—Sind Sie 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 :)

—Wie sind sind zur Fotografiebranche gekommen?

—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.

—Was macht Ihrer Meinung nach ein gutes Foto aus?

—Good lighting

—Reisen Sie gern?

—Yes of course.

—Was gefällt Ihnen an Ihrem Beruf am meisten?

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

—Was gefällt Ihnen an Ihrem Beruf am wenigsten?

—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.

—Was ist die Zukunft der Fotografie?

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

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

—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.

—Wie gehen Sie mit Kritik um?

—It only makes me better.

—Gibt es irgendwelche Trends in der Fotografie?

—Not that I have come across yet

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

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

—Was ist bei Fotoaufnahmen strikt verboten?

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

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

—Invitation cards, wedding gifts, wedding decor.

—Was beeinflusst den Wert eines Fotos? Welche Elemente sind wichtig?

—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.

—Was würden Sie gern fotografieren?

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

—Gibt es für Sie in Ihrem Beruf Tabus?

—No

—Mit wem würden Sie gern fotografieren?

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

—Worüber machen Sie sich Sorgen und warum?

—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.

—Was war der eindrucksvollste Moment in Ihrem Leben?

—The day my son was born.

—Welche literarische Figur oder Filmfigur wären Sie gern und warum?

—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.

—Wer inspiriert Sie in Ihrem Leben und warum?

—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.

—Wie definieren Sie Erfolg? Wie messen Sie ihn?

—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.

—Gefällt es Ihnen mehr, wenn man Sie mag oder wenn Sie respektiert werden?

—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.

—Was nehmen Sie mit, wenn Sie auf Reisen gehen und warum?

—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.
