—Quel aspect de votre profession aimez-vous le moins ?

—Bridezillas haha or sometimes the maid of honor. I know, I know; they want everything to be perfect on the big day, but hey, you have to trust me on this one, let the art behind the lenses flow!

—Quel est le futur de la photographie ?

—Hopefully better and better photographs, there's a little bit of doubt about photography and the upcoming technology, but I think the artsy element it's always going to be human, no matter what.

—Qu'est-ce que le style de photographie dans lequel vous travaillez a de spécial ?

—It's more intimate, you get to know real people and as a photographer you have to become one with the wedding itself. Achieve that connection with groom and bride and also the guests.

—Comment gérez-vous les critiques ?

—Photography as an art has been always very subjective, but there's something no one can deny; a good photo is a good photo! Even if you can't explain it. Also in photography you never stop learning, so I don't take criticism too serious, just take the best part of it and forget the rest!

—Yes, the same as any other style of photography or even art; there's always gonna be tendencies, some may follow them, some may not and some may create them.
