—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

—Everybody could be depending of the photo.

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—I like make photos since I was a kid. As I love travel I started to work as travel photographer. With the time I discover that more than the places I am good capturing the people there. I started to make social photography, family and fashion works. Finally I discovered in the wedding field the perfect balance to make my best of all the things learned during years.

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

—Wedding photography have a huge amount of possibilities. There isn't just a trend. With the years I saw a lot of different tendencies. This changes also depending the country. Vintage style, only back and white pictures, Photojournalist...
I try to have my own style and don't follow to much what other people do. As told before the important is tell the story. Is the only way to make pictures that never will be old fashion in the future.

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

—I understand that each one have a budget and this could be a key point to choose one or other photographer but in my opinion this will never be the main point.
Each photographer have different vision so the first point must be choose the style you like after see several kinds.
I think is important too at least have a call or better and interview with the photographer and check if you "connect" with him. The photographer will spend long time with you during your big day and as this is about feelings I think is important have good feeling with the photographer.
