—Πρώτον και κύριον – ποιόν μπορείτε να ονομάσετε ως τον καλύτερο φωτογράφο στην πόλη σας; :)

—The one whose camera sees the world differently than the human eye. And the ability to make a photograph more powerful than what the viewer sees.

—Πώς ξεκίνησες να ασχολείσαι με τη φωτογραφία;

—I love being a wedding photographer, because it is an art, based on emotions and feelings of people, who value beauty and love.

—Έχετε φωτογένεια;

—Yes, I do.

—Ποια είναι τα πιο σημαντικά στοιχεία μιας καλής φωτογραφίας κατά τη γνώμη σας;

—Photography is the art of frozen time ... the ability to store emotions and feelings within the frame.

—Σας αρέσει να ταξιδεύετε;

—Yes

—Τι σας αρέσει περισσότερο στο επάγγελμά σας;

—The good result.

—Τι σας αρέσει λιγότερο στο επάγγελμά σας;

—No.

—Πώς αντιμετωπίζετε την κριτική;

—Everyone has the right to their opinion.

—Με ποια κριτήρια θα πρέπει ένας πελάτης να επιλέγει φωτογράφο;

—First of all, it's important that the bride and groom identify themselves with the photographer and his work, the choice should be made by whether they consider he is the one who's worth recording their lifetime memories. Then, they should absolutely watch an entire wedding shot by the one they chose. I like being approached by future weds who know a thing or two about photography and who got their mind set on what they really want.

—Πώς ξεκίνησες να ασχολείσαι με τη φωτογραφία;

—I started taking pictures in 2000 and shooting weddings in 2008. At first, I didn't want to do weddings, I thought it would diminish my work. But I started anyway and found the most challenging environment, I discovered that no matter what type of photography you do, you can always reinvent yourself and find new ways to tell a story. Especially when you meet extraordinary people all the time :)

—Έχετε φωτογένεια;

—I consider I ain't, but it so happens that on occasion some other photographer catches the good/bright sight of me.

—Ποια είναι τα πιο σημαντικά στοιχεία μιας καλής φωτογραφίας κατά τη γνώμη σας;

—First & foremost, the people involved and their mood (if you're shooting people), then the light (I began ”seeing” the light after years of shooting) and the decisive moment. I don't agree that the quality of a photograph is not important, but it indeed comes in second after the feelings it produces.

—Σας αρέσει να ταξιδεύετε;

—So much that if it would be possible I would be traveling all the time.

—Τι σας αρέσει περισσότερο στο επάγγελμά σας;

—The diversity – today I'm shooting a wedding, tomorrow a baptism, after tomorrow a concert, then a family portrait, a corporate event or some landscape. It's what keeps me connected all the time.

—Τι σας αρέσει λιγότερο στο επάγγελμά σας;

—Having too much to edit.

—Πώς αντιμετωπίζετε την κριτική;

—I'm all in for constructive criticism, don't like destructive one. That's why we're here on My Wed, right? To constantly learn from other photographers and document ourselves about where we are as wedding photographers. I, for one, would like to hear more criticism about my work and where to improve. Here's an idea: you could implement a section where each photographer could post one photo/week for critique :D

—Ποια πράγματα δεν επιτρέπονται σε καμία περίπτωση κατά τη φωτογράφηση;

—Getting in front of the photographer.

—Ποιο θα είναι το μέλλον της φωτογραφίας;

—I think it is constantly evolving and that we'll always see changes for the good. We'll always have trends that come and go, the important thing is to know who you are and do what you really like, not necessarily follow the hype.

—Τι το ιδιαίτερο υπάρχει στο φωτογραφικό είδος στο οποίο εξειδικεύεσαι;

—Oh, everything about it is special. I must admit I suffer when someone refers to it as a banality, thinking that ”real artists” don't do wedding photos. Special is meeting new people, seeing new places or facing new challenges. Besides war photography, I find it the most challenging type, you get to meet all kinds of situations during one day: different light every minute, you get to shoot outdoors and indoors, in plain sun or in the shadow of a tree/building, inside a cave or on a mountain top etc. etc. Need I say more?

—Με ποια κριτήρια θα πρέπει ένας πελάτης να επιλέγει φωτογράφο;

—1 Connection with the photographer 2 Quality 3 price

—Πώς ξεκίνησες να ασχολείσαι με τη φωτογραφία;

—By accident, I was first a commercial photographer, a friend of mine told me he needed a second shooter so I did. The very first click got me and now I'm a full time Wedding photographer and loving it.

—Έχετε φωτογένεια;

—Sure I'm or at least I think I'm, if you feel it you have it.

—Ποια είναι τα πιο σημαντικά στοιχεία μιας καλής φωτογραφίας κατά τη γνώμη σας;

—Soul, Light and Emotion.

—Σας αρέσει να ταξιδεύετε;

—If I could wake up in a different city every day that would be awesome.

—Τι σας αρέσει περισσότερο στο επάγγελμά σας;

—The people, I love chatting with them and make them laugh.

—Τι σας αρέσει λιγότερο στο επάγγελμά σας;

—Make a selection for a small story in my blog.

—Πώς αντιμετωπίζετε την κριτική;

—Great, is good to hear opinions but everyone has a different style.

—Ποια πράγματα δεν επιτρέπονται σε καμία περίπτωση κατά τη φωτογράφηση;

—You will never see me being intrusive I love to be close but I know how and when.

—Τι το ιδιαίτερο υπάρχει στο φωτογραφικό είδος στο οποίο εξειδικεύεσαι;

—Families are everything they are the medular issue in my photography I always try to involve everyone, love to see them smile, watch the though strong man dropping tears, a mother hugging her daughter stronger than ever.

—Υπάρχουν τάσεις στη φωτογραφία;

—Film look and filters but I try to avoid them. I not saying that I don`t use them.
