Φωτογράφος Samo Rovan

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

—It depends on who you ask.
In 2015 I was WPJA photographer of the year – worldwide.

—Πώς ξεκίνησες να ασχολείσαι με τη φωτογραφία;

—After working 7 years as a photojournalist and another 7 years as an architect I decided to become full-time wedding photographer.

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

—The strong content.

—Τι σας αρέσει περισσότερο στο επάγγελμά σας;

—For me the best thing to do in life is shooting weddings.

—Υπάρχουν τάσεις στη φωτογραφία;

—There are, but I don't believe in them. I don't like trends. They come and go. For me, photography should be timeless. So I practice nice colors and black & white photographs with strong content.

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

—I always say to my clients – think about what will your kids see in your wedding album, when they will get married after 20/30 years.

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

—A good photographer can capture beautiful photos of the couple but also the hidden/small moments that no one sees. A good photographer can capture the 'making of' at the same level as the 'must be' photos.

—Ποιον θέλετε να φωτογραφήσετε;

—I've photographed Hollywood movie stars, super-rich people, politicks,... but also very normal couples. For me is the same. It's not about what the people are or do, the wedding is about the love between two souls.

—Ποια ήταν η πιο εντυπωσιακή στιγμή στη ζωή σας;

—In personal life – definitely my kids birth. In professional career – winning the Photographer of the year 2015 title by Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA). Another huge moment was speaking in front of almost 2000 people at the Wedding Brasil conference in Sao Paulo.

—Τι σας εμπνέει στη ζωή σας και γιατί;

—My wife and my kids. They are my biggest inspiration. My son is a very talented football player. Daughter is a national champion in saxophone. And my wife – I'd never be where I am without her!

—Τι κάνετε στον ελεύθερο χρόνο σας;

—I love trail running. So I try to spend as much time in nature and mountains as possible. Now and then I also make something from wood.
