Valokuvaaja Greg Korvin

—Ennen kaikkea - kenet voit nimetä parhaaksi kuvaajaksi kaupungissasi? :)

—It could have been me, because of my passion for weddings and being a perfectionist and a French creative mind with a great sense of humor. But in Marbella there is a few great photographer working on wedding since more than 20 years.. My favourite: Jeremy Standley, I have worked with him many times!

—Oletko valokuvauksellinen?

—I look good maybe, but I prefer to be in the back of the camera.

—Miten päädyit valokuvausalalle?

—I created Sol Wedding Marbella in 2006 because my passion is to make people happy with my work!

—Mikä on sinusta tärkeintä hyvässä kuvassa?

—For me an attractive photo should be original and different. Never intrusive and always showing the best emotions of the couples.

—Tykkäätkö matkustamisesta?

—I do love to travel and more for my work! We have done wedding in Scotland, Ireland, France and Portugal already..

—Mistä pidät eniten ammatissasi?

—My joy is to make couple happy with my original work. Because my job is my passion!

—Mistä pidät vähiten ammatissasi?

—Yes. I hate to see guest taking picture, seeing hundred smart phone and i-phone, tablet or cameras during the more important moment of the day; at the ceremony! Often very difficult to work properly. Yes. This is frustrating because at this important moment I think the guest and family should enjoy the present moment, and not taking pictures or video they will not watch after the wedding day, probably! NO SMART PHONE DURING THE CEREMONY PLEASE.

—Mikä on valokuvauksen tulevaisuus?

—I prefer to not imagine. But already is getting very affordable to any amateur to buy a great photo camera and take splendid photos with all the automatic modes and new easy to use apps..

—Mikä on sille valokuvauslajille erityistä, johon olet erikoistunut?

—For me is the emotion, love and passion that you can fill at each wedding. Each wedding or bride and groom is different. Wedding Photography transmit so much love during the big day. It is not an easy task always, but I love it!

—Kuinka suhtaudut kritiikkiin?

—Criticism is very important to grow and learn. I learn everyday and get better every year, because of good or bad criticism!

—Onko valokuvauksessa trendejä?

—At the moment I think the vintage and retro style is the tendencies. I don't follow tendencies because I like to be original and unique.

—Minkä kriteerien perusteella asiakkaan pitäisi valita valokuvaaja?

—The most important to pay attention is the first contact and feeling with your wedding photographer when you first meet. The quality/creativity of is work and passion to is job, that they can probably see on is website or social media, also. Sometime is not only the best price that they should look for. Quality and dedication have a price.

—Mikä on ehdottomasti kiellettyä kuvauksessa?

—Again. Seeing hundred smart phone and i-phone, tablet or cameras during the more important moment of the day; at the ceremony! Often very difficult to work properly. Yes. This is frustrating because at this important moment I think the guest and family should enjoy the present moment, and not taking pictures or video they will not watch after the wedding day, probably! NO SMART PHONE DURING THE CEREMONY PLEASE.

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

—So many details, so many original wedding decoration details, kids having fun, bridesmaid getting ready, people feeling happy or emotional..

—Mikä vaikuttaa kuvan arvoon? Mikä kuvissa on tärkeintä?

—A picture is worth a thousand words! But a valuable photo for me, it's a photo that can make cry the bride, the groom or any family member. Touching the emotional of the person. This is big for me.
