Fotograaf Franklin Balzan

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

—I wouldn't say so. I am usually the one behind the camera and do not enjoy being seen to much.

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—It was a natural evolution... I love street photography, fashion and portrait and therefore love shooting wedding photography in my artsy-journalistic style.

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—Especially for wedding photography, certainly the photo must convey emotion and have a story to tell. Apart from these two aspects then, there are also the technical aspects such as lighting and composition.

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—Ohh yes :)

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

—Moving from place to place, meeting new people and creating art.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

—The headache of possibly not being able to make it to the wedding due to some illness or something.

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—Mirrorless cameras are already with us – their technology has already catched with their heavier DSLR counterparts.

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—Emotions and the once in a lifetime event, which everyone has been preparing so much to.

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

—Positively, as it helps me improve. Infact it helps me see things which otherwise I would not have noted.

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

—It seems most photographers are moving towards a journalistic fastpaced style.

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

—The artistic style of the photo – colour, tone, framing.

—Mida pildistades kindlasti ei tohiks teha?

—Relaxing! One must keep concentrated till the last seconds of a wedding.

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

—Geometries, reflections, frames.

—Kellega koos sa tahaksid pildistada?

—Roberto Valenzuela and Livio Lacurre certainly.
