Fotograf Siemenjov Galdes

—Sind Sie fotogen?

—Only when I am not trying to be :)

—Wie sind sind zur Fotografiebranche gekommen?

—By pure coincidence and being in the right place at the right time. My first wedding was in 2012 and the rest as they say is history.

—Was macht Ihrer Meinung nach ein gutes Foto aus?

—Some old school photographers would say technique, composition, verticles etc. I think all the mentioned techniques are important however the moment and the framing for me are key.

—Reisen Sie gern?

—I can't get enough of it ;)

—Was gefällt Ihnen an Ihrem Beruf am meisten?

—Travelling, meeting new people and being able to tell a story through pictures.

—Was gefällt Ihnen an Ihrem Beruf am wenigsten?

—To be honest I never thought much about this. In all fairness I can't think of anything else except the long hours.

—Was ist die Zukunft der Fotografie?

—Wedding photography is increasingly becoming more expressive and photographers around the world have pushed the bounderies and the art to scary new heights. I cannot say, though I am really curious to find out.

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

—Emotions! Not all weddings have it, but the ones who do, make it special beyond words.

—Wie gehen Sie mit Kritik um?

—There is always something new to learn and good solid constructive criticism helps us become better and challange our routines. I am always eager to get feedback and I hope I can keep improving upon it.

—Gibt es irgendwelche Trends in der Fotografie?

—ohhh yes! I think you see changing trends mostly depending on the country and continent.

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

—I can answer this because I myself was a groom not long ago. I looked for a photographer who cares, someone who knows documentary photography and someone that is not afraid to get the best out of us on the wedding day. We actually enjoyed our day more thanks to the photographer we chose! I knew exactly what he would deliver before I even booked him.

—Was ist bei Fotoaufnahmen strikt verboten?

—Forget your phone, e-mails, messages and all distractions. Most importantly avoid going un-prepared.
