Wedding photographers in Bulgaria

—What details that usually pass unnoticed can a wedding photographer capture?

—People's reactions are often missed. Also we as photographers are used to seeing things in a different way than other people – it's just what we do.

—What makes wedding photography different from other photography genres?

—It's both energy consuming and giving... A wedding day can tire you and leave you without power (literally) and give you so much emotions at the same time. At the end of the night you're both tired and refreshed... It's a very strange feeling.

—How do you deal with criticism?

—I think that everyone of us must never stop learning and trying to see the world through other people's eyes. Sometimes it's useful to be pointed at one or other direction but before all you must stay true to yourself.

—What devices that you own you regret you bought and why?

—If we're talking about photography equipment – they're just tools. Great and expensive, but tools. Buy them when in need and sell them when not.

—What cartoon, film or book character would you become if you had a chance?

—Someone like James Bond but with camera instead of a gun. Sounds nice to me :) Mostly because of the suits and the great locations. And cars.

—Have a best-loved joke? Share it with us!

—A zebra and a penguin went to have their picture taken and the photographer asked:
- What would the photo be – color or black and white?

—What are the key elements that make a photo attractive?

—Emotion and story. If you can "feel" the atmosphere or imagine what was going on in that very moment – you are looking at a good photo.

—It's not a single person. It's more like the feeling that something really good is about to come just around the corner.

—Can you imagine what wedding photography will be like in future?

—I think it's going to get more and more personal. "Staged" photos are going in the past, now it's all about the couple – who they are and what do the like. Because it's their special day.
