Fotógrafo Edwin Sanchez

—En primer lugar, ¿quién puede llamar el mejor fotógrafo en San Pedro Sula, Honduras? :)

—I consider myself amongst the best wedding photographers in San Pedro Sula

—¿Es usted fotogénico(a)?

—I try to be. hahaha

—¿Cómo empezó a trabajar en la industria de fotografía?

—I was freelance graphic designer and always had an interest in photography. My work led me to eventually pick up a DSLR and it totally changed my life. I studied at NYIP and learned many basic skills in all types of photography. Shooting my first wedding for a close friend I realized that in wedding photography you have to use all of those skills (product photography, photojournalism, portraiture, posing, directing, fashion photography). I have been hooked since then.

—¿En su opinión, cuáles son los elementos más importantes de una buena fotografía?

—Lighting and composition are, in my opinion, the two most important factors in all photography. They are not the only ones, however, there is also posing, timing, anticipating, and creating a real connection with the couple will also translate into great images.

—¿Le gusta viajar?

—I love traveling! From getting there, be it by sea, land or air, to actually getting to know new places, cities, cultures, people. My family and I enjoy traveling and it's one of our top common passions.

—¿Qué le gusta más de su profesión?

—Being creative! Creating amazing images for my couples and seeing their reactions when we deliver them. It's an absolute joy to be able to light, compose, direct and capture and image that brings joy to my couples and myself.

—¿Qué le gusta menos de su profesión?

—It's hard for me point it out. Maybe alway wanting new photography gear. hehe

—¿Cuál será el futuro de la fotografía?

—Couples will start to be more conscious about The Experience that they'll enjoy with the photographer they choose for their wedding. Final images will still be most important but the bond that forms between them and their photographer will certainly take a prominent role.

—¿Qué tiene de especial el género fotográfico en que trabaja?

—The connection that builds between the photographer and the couple and their family. If that connection is there the images will definitely show it.

—¿Cómo gestiona las críticas?

—I believe everyone is allowed their own opinion

—¿Existe alguna tendencia en la fotografía?

—Sure there are, at the time of writing this Dark and Moody edits and elopements are all the rage . Couples have to be careful to choose something that they really love and that they will enjoy 5, 10, 20 years from now and not just something that is trendy at this moment.

—¿Qué criterios debería tener en cuenta una persona a la hora de elegir a un fotógrafo?

—First they have to love the work their photographer makes. And second they have to feel that connection, that "click". The better the relationship with their photographer the better their images will turn out.

—¿Qué no está permitido de ningún modo cuando realiza una fotografía?

—Missing the moment! A photographer must be ready and alert to capture the most important moments in a wedding cause they will not happen again.

—¿Qué detalles que normalmente no tenemos en cuenta puede un fotógrafo captar?

—The beauty that hides in the details.

—¿Qué influye en el valor de una fotografía? ¿Cuáles son sus elementos?

—Lighting, composition, posing, edit, etc.. are all technical terms. But it is how you use them together to create an image that brings back feelings, emotions that truly holds a photo's value.

—En su opinión, ¿qué persona podría ser un símbolo del siglo XXI?

—Barack Obama. Not for being a great president but by being a great example and role model of what Human should be. Passionate, Compassionate, Driven and given to his fellow man.

—¿A quién le gustaría fotografiar?

—Couples full of life that love to travel and loves their family.

—I don't think so.

—¿Con quién le gustaría fotografiarse?

—Jerry Ghionis, Lindsay Adler, Michael Anthony, Joe McNally.

—¿Qué le preocupa y por qué?

—I worry about the planet. As a species we are definitely not taking such good care of Mother Earth.

—¿Cuál ha sido el momento más impactante de su vida?

—The day of my wedding to my beautiful wife. I don't consider myself as special in the "VIP" kinda sense. But getting married in the Vatican by a Cardinal definitely made me feel like a child of God.

—Si fuera un personaje de animación, literario o cinematográfico, ¿quién le gustaría ser y por qué?

—I think I consider myself a Chandler from FRIENDS. Kind of a goofball but very creative, good at my job and deeply in love with my family and friends.

—¿Quién le inspira en su vida y por qué?

—My mom and my wife inspire me. My mom because she fought hard to raise 4 children on her own and give them the best education that she could. And my wife because she has motivated me to become better in all aspects of my life.

—¿Cómo definiría el éxito? ¿Cómo lo mide?
