Fotograaf Bedo Andor

—Ennekõike - keda sa nimetaksid parimaks fotograafiks oma linnas? :)

—I dont think there is a best wedding photographer, I would think in terms of favourite, most respected, creative, etc. My favourite, best photographer is Kátai Judit.

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

—I feel better behind the camera, not in front of it, so I don't really know, depends in what situation you take the photo.

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—Probably how most of us started out. A friend asked me to shoot their wedding and you know the story from here on. I liked it, the thrill, the action, everything.

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—My opinion is that the photo has to send a message, not necessarily a clear one, it has to make you think, imagine.

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—Of course, the nature of my work is travellig.

—There is nothing I hate. Every wedding, every cuple, guest is different. I had some unpleasent moments, but nothing that could make me kick back.

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—Yes. I think that the photographer and the camera will always be there, technology will always evolve, but the human eye instinct an pesonal style will always be needed.

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—I like to tell people, that wedding photography embodies all the different photographic genres. It has macro, landscape, fashion, portrait, architecture and some other genres. You may not master all of them, but you have to be prepared to face them all.

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

—Depends on what the criticism is about. if it's about respecting all the photography rules, guidelines then I know I'm breaking some of them, but that is purely my vision, my stile that makes me brake them. I always try to learn from the criticism, even if it's harsh. I try to take it positively.

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

—There are, the most recent one is emulating film, I really like this one.

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

I always recommend a personal meeting or at least an online conversation, because this is the person, that will follow them everywhere through the whole day, even in their intimate moments, so they need to trust and like this person.

—Mida pildistades kindlasti ei tohiks teha?

—Everything is acceptable, depends on the photographer, the couple and the situation.

Sometimes something simple is the best, because you focus on what's important, capturing the moment.
