Fotógrafo Hitesh Patel

—En primer lugar, ¿quién puede llamar el mejor fotógrafo en Dahlonega, Estados Unidos? :)

—To be honest, noboby is the best. It depends on what the photographer sees and captures. Everyone has different vision including the clients, so the question is does my photos see your vision?

—¿Es usted fotogénico(a)?

—Being a photographer myself, I hate taking my own pictures. Thus, it's rare that I have shots of myself, I just do not look good :)

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

—When my son was born, all I wanted to do was take some nice shots. That turned into a passion slowly, and today I am proud of how much I grew as a photographer. From taking photos on a mobile device to professional gear.

—Creating something amazing. Creating great composition. Creating images that makes my client say "WoW".

—¿Qué le gusta menos de su profesión?

—Nope, honestly I enjoy everything about it. That's why I don't get bored. If you did not enjoy this you wouldn't last too long.

—¿Cuál será el futuro de la fotografía?

—I really hope it doesn't change. Weddings are done based on religion and history, and I don't want to loose our history.

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

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

—Invitation cards, wedding gifts, wedding decor.

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

—Memories of your day, memories of your love one enjoying your wedding day, memories of the little ones running around having a blast, memories of mom and dad crying, memories of the groom reaction when he sees you for the first time.

—¿A quién le gustaría fotografiar?

—I love shooting, it doesn't matter to me who is next to me.

—¿Tiene tabúes profesionales?

—No

—¿Con quién le gustaría fotografiar?

—Again it doesn't matter to me, since I love shooting.

—¿Qué le preocupa y por qué?

—Couples who are not into the photos aspect of the day. I know some couple hate posing and thus the reason why they don't get into the photos as much as I would like them to be. However, posing is not always required to take great images.

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

—The day my son was born.

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

—Haha, I think the best answer would be Iron Man. One of my favorite cartoon/comic character simply because he's into alot of tech stuff.

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

—My son, he's has very little knowledge and doesn't know alot, but it's for him, I am here working for. I want him to have a better life then what I had.

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

—Success to me is when I can spend more time with my family without worry about money. One way to measure it is by how many days in a week you spend with your family and how many days you spend working.

—¿Qué prefiere, gustar o sentirse respetado?

—I rather be liked then respected. Respect means that you can not be down to earth with me, and can not be your self. Liked your more open to me. I rather have people more open to me instead of being respected.

—Cuando va de viaje, ¿qué lleva consigo y por qué?

—Everything, it's better to be well prepared then unpreapred. I take almost everything with me, because I do not know what I will run into.
