Φωτογράφος Dan Fedez

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

—There are some really good photographers here, each one with it's own style.

—Έχετε φωτογένεια;

—I usually look better on the othe side of the camera haha

—Πώς ξεκίνησες να ασχολείσαι με τη φωτογραφία;

—Had the opportunity to work with a company that does lifestyle photography, after a year I jumped to wedding photography with them and 1 year later I decided to work by myself.

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

—Good lightning, being able to control the light is key.

—Αγαπάτε τα ταξίδια;

—Of course, who doesn't! That's actually what approached me to photography! You will see a lot of traveling photos as well on my social media.

—Τι σας αρέσει περισσότερο στο επάγγελμά σας;

—For the wedding couple there's always the doubt of how are the photos going to be, but looking at their reaction and excitement once they see them it's one of things to feel thankful for.

—Τι σας αρέσει λιγότερο στο επάγγελμά σας;

—Bridezillas haha or sometimes the maid of honor. I know, I know; they want everything to be perfect on the big day, but hey, you have to trust me on this one, let the art behind the lenses flow!

—Ποιο θα είναι το μέλλον της φωτογραφίας;

—Hopefully better and better photographs, there's a little bit of doubt about photography and the upcoming technology, but I think the artsy element it's always going to be human, no matter what.

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

—It's more intimate, you get to know real people and as a photographer you have to become one with the wedding itself. Achieve that connection with groom and bride and also the guests.

—Πώς αντιμετωπίζετε την κριτική;

—Photography as an art has been always very subjective, but there's something no one can deny; a good photo is a good photo! Even if you can't explain it. Also in photography you never stop learning, so I don't take criticism too serious, just take the best part of it and forget the rest!

—Υπάρχουν τάσεις στη φωτογραφία;

—Yes, the same as any other style of photography or even art; there's always gonna be tendencies, some may follow them, some may not and some may create them.

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

—Read the bio, see their pictures and see if you really feel identified with that specific photographer, remember; is the best day of your life!

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

—Not to be open to suggestions, I've seen a lot of photographers mounted on their egos, shooting their own style not paying attention to what the couple wants! Big mistake!

—Ποιες λεπτομέρειες που συνήθως περνούν απαρατήρητες μπορεί να παρατηρήσει ένας φωτογράφος;

—It's hard to be in different places at the time, it's always good to count on a second camera to get that little details that can be missed for a bit of a sec while doing the "important shot".

—Τι επηρεάζει την αξία της φωτογραφίας; Ποια στοιχεία;

—Laughs, reactions, true feelings, a good photographer is able to capture the essence of the moment!

—Ποιο πρόσωπο αποτελεί το σύμβολο του 21ου αιώνα κατά τη γνώμη σας;

—We live in an era of super individualism, anyone doing a little bit something for the goodness of everyone is a symbol!

—Ποιον θέλετε να φωτογραφήσετε;

—Any couple in the search of genuine photographs, that ones that comes easy for everyone as there's a connection between couple and photographer.

—Έχετε επαγγελματικά ταμπού;

—Photoshop. To make a photograph look the way it is "supposed to be" instead of showing the real thing!

—Με ποιους σας αρέσει να τραβάτε φωτογραφίες;

—I think Jim Carrey is one of the most interesting persons in the world, for me he sees life through different eyes than the average person.

—Τι σας ανησυχεί και γιατί;

—Sometimes technology can play tricks on you or even betray you, but as long as you are well prepared, there's nothing to worry about.

—Ποια ήταν η πιο εντυπωσιακή στιγμή στη ζωή σας;

—The present! I've always been to "easy going" to worry about the past, or future, just try to relax and enjoy the moment!

—Εάν ήσασταν ένας λογοτεχνικός ή κινηματογραφικός χαρακτήρας ποιος θα θέλατε να είσαστε και γιατί;

—Probably a captain of sci-fi movie, imagine to see all the stars and constellations and galaxies through that perspective.

—Τι σας εμπνέει στη ζωή σας και γιατί;

—Michael O'neill is one of my favorite photographers, he have had such amazing opportunities to shot super interesting people like Orson Welles, Steve Jobs, Scorsese and many Master Yoguis.

—Ποιος είναι ο ορισμός της επιτυχίας; Πώς μετριέται η επιτυχία;

—Success is achieve your purpose, one step at a time. That your couples likes and thank for your work, that's how you know you've made it correctly!

—Οι γονείς σας θα έπρεπε να είναι περισσότερο ή λιγότερο αυστηροί;
