Valokuvaaja Alin Panaite

—Miten päädyit valokuvausalalle?

—After working for some time in fashion photography and in the studio, the step to wedding photography was very natural. I've always enjoyed working with people, and being together with them on a special day gives what I need for capturing great shots.

—Mikä on sinusta tärkeintä hyvässä kuvassa?

—yesss!

—Mistä pidät eniten ammatissasi?

—Mistä pidät vähiten ammatissasi?

—The price of cameras :)))

—Mikä on valokuvauksen tulevaisuus?

—A bright one. The competition is going to be even higher, and competition means progress. In order to stay ahead, you have to constantly learn and reinvent yourself.

—Mikä on sille valokuvauslajille erityistä, johon olet erikoistunut?
