Φωτογράφος Studio By Ana Lui

—Πώς ξεκίνησες να ασχολείσαι με τη φωτογραφία;

—The Studio was created by Ana Lui back in 2007 and we have been shooting ever since. Ana is a great teacher and she quality checks every single image that goes out of the studio. We are very proud to have such high standards and so much experience. With over 100 weddings photographed and all our couples happy we photograph a limited number of weddings per year to give each couple bespoke service and all our energy.

—Τι σας αρέσει περισσότερο στο επάγγελμά σας;

—We love meeting inspiring and amazing people, seeing new places and capturing the most unique moments for our clients. There is a sense of trust and fun that we love the most.

—Ποιο θα είναι το μέλλον της φωτογραφίας;

—We believe in timelessness, in creating images that would last forever and won't go out of fashion in 5 – 10 years. We believe simplicity, use of natural light and storytelling is the key to success.

—Υπάρχουν τάσεις στη φωτογραφία;

—Currently there are two visible trends going. One with light, soft, feminine and romantic "fine art" feel. Mostly backlit and possibly shot on analogue film or edited to look like film. And another trend that is darker, moodier and more contrasty a lot of times exposed for highlights not for shadows. Both are simply amazing and it's a great way for each client to choose the style they are drawn to the most.

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

—In our opinion the bride and groom should be comfortable and feel at ease with their photographer. Trusting each other and being comfortable is the most important.

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

—We are very visual so any bags lying around, trash, plastic bottles, cables and cords around the bride when getting ready, crooked tie, one piece of hair sticking out. We prefer fixing this before pressing the shutter. There is nothing worse than hair stuck to the brides face or twisted tie on every single photo, which couple would pick up on after getting the images back.

—Ποιανού δουλειά σας έχει επηρεάσει περισσότερο ως φωτογράφο;

—For sure Ana Lui Photography, Jose Villa, KT Merry, Tec Petaja and Elizabeth Messina.

—Τι θέλετε να πείτε με τις φωτογραφίες σας;

—We want our clients to have beautiful memories that convey the details, portraits of the family, guests and capture the atmosphere of the whole place. We want our couples to have photographs from the location too, from the island, from the place they love to remind them how they felt being there.

—Το καλύτερο πράγμα στη ζωή είναι:

—Chocolate, diving, CrossFit, food, good wine, sandy feet, cuddling dogs, jumping on a plane to go to exotic places, gardening
