Fotograaf Edwin Sanchez

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

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

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

—I try to be. hahaha

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—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.

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—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.

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—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.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

—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.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

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

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—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.

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

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

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

—I believe everyone is allowed their own opinion

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

—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.

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

—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.

—Mida pildistades kindlasti ei tohiks teha?

—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.

—Mis võiksid olla need detailid, millele tavaliselt tähelepanu ei pöörata, kuid mida fotograaf võib märgata?

—The beauty that hides in the details.

—Mis teeb fotost väärtusliku? Mis elemendid on olulised?

—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.

—Milline inimene on sinu arvates 21. sajandi sümbol?

—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.

—Keda sa sooviksid pildistada?

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

—Kas sul on teatud ametialaseid tabusid?

—I don't think so.

—Kellega koos sa tahaksid pildistada?

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

—Mille pärast sa muretsed ja miks?

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

—Mis on olnud su elu kõige kõige muljetavaldavam hetk?

—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.

—Kui sa oleksid tegelane multikast, raamatust või filmist, siis kes sa oleksid ja miks?

—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.

—Kes sind su elus inspireerib ja miks?

—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.

—Kuidas sa defineeriksid edu? Kuidas sa seda mõõdad?
