Φωτογράφος Siemenjov Galdes

—Έχετε φωτογένεια;

—Only when I am not trying to be :)

—Πώς ξεκίνησες να ασχολείσαι με τη φωτογραφία;

—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.

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

—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.

—Αγαπάτε τα ταξίδια;

—I can't get enough of it ;)

—Τι σας αρέσει περισσότερο στο επάγγελμά σας;

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

—Τι σας αρέσει λιγότερο στο επάγγελμά σας;

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

—Ποιο θα είναι το μέλλον της φωτογραφίας;

—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.

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

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

—Πώς αντιμετωπίζετε την κριτική;

—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.

—Υπάρχουν τάσεις στη φωτογραφία;

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

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

—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.

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

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