Valokuvaaja Gergely Vas

—Oletko valokuvauksellinen?

—In 99% of the cases I am at the other end of the camera, so it's hard to say :)

—Miten päädyit valokuvausalalle?

—I was the victim of a friend's request, after which I kept being passed around and the circle became wider and wider. I have a colourful personality though, besides wedding photography I like to venture into the more artistic side of my profession.

—Mikä on sinusta tärkeintä hyvässä kuvassa?

—The right subject(s), according history and to capture the unique moment.

—Tykkäätkö matkustamisesta?

—I do! I think I have a "travel-gene" somewhere in me, I pass by a dozen places throughout the year, be it for work or holiday purpouses.
When it concerns work, it is usually Spain, Malta and Cyprus that are top of the list, but I hope this range will widen further.

—Mistä pidät eniten ammatissasi?

—At weddings, it is to allow the couples to relive their most important, most beautiful memories, getting them into fun situations which they are very gratful for – I like it when they thank me for my work and I can see the confirmation in their eyes that I have performed at least at a 100%.
I also like my clients' positive feedback on my ideas and their adherence towards me

—Mistä pidät vähiten ammatissasi?

—That there is sometimes not enough time for a project :(

—Mikä on valokuvauksen tulevaisuus?

—Uniqueness, creativity, motivation

—Mikä on sille valokuvauslajille erityistä, johon olet erikoistunut?

—A fantastic location (which is given at many a mediterranean country), the couples' personal attitude/style and lots&lots of creative ideas!

—Kuinka suhtaudut kritiikkiin?

—Pretty well! If it's constructive criticism and useful when thought through, then I will definitely integrate it into my daily work.

—Onko valokuvauksessa trendejä?

—Thankfully – and at the same time, unfortunately – yes.

—Minkä kriteerien perusteella asiakkaan pitäisi valita valokuvaaja?

—- the pictures and their style
- the personality of the photographer (to meet in person in advance is paramount!)
- flexibility
- finally, the price/performance

—Mikä on ehdottomasti kiellettyä kuvauksessa?

—I have not yet encountered a situation like this – perhaps I am lucky? :)

—Mitkä yksityiskohdat, jotka yleensä jäävät huomaamatta, valokuvaaja voi tallettaa?

—In this line of work we often have to look ahead in certain situations, we need to notice an important moment before it actually happens. Coherent events, the outburst or even withholding of emotions, a look – overall multiple facets that merge into one single scene.

—Miten opettelet ottamaan parempia kuvia?

—Talk with colleagues, putting up new experiences.

—Mitä haluat ilmaista valokuvillasi?

—Share moments, emotions, and – if it doesn't concern weddings,- depict my own emotions and gorgeous landscapes

—Mikä motivoi sinua jatkamaan kuvausta?

—I'd like to visit as many places as possible, create extraordinary material to still my hunger for perfection

—Jos voisit palata ajassa taaksepäin, mitä tekisit eri tavalla?

—I do not regret anything...

—Milloin olet täysin tyytyväinen työhösi?

—When I see that an album receives a bright smile even at the second viewing.
Non-wedding relatedly: a direct second order, an honest compliment.

—Saatko helposti ystäviä?

—I'm an instant blender :)

—Missä haluaisit asua?

—Near the sea

—Jatkuuko elämä avioliiton jälkeen?

—I have not tried it yet ;)

—Pidätkö koirista vai kissoista?

—Dogs are not just with you out of interest, I respect and love them more, but I am ok with cats too.

—Jos Maahan saapuisi avaruusolioita ja he näkisivät sinut ensimmäisenä, mitä sanoisit heille?

—Hi, would you like to grab a beer? :D

—Huomenna aion...

—...nothing, just sleep long and deep for a change:)
