Photographe Edwin Sanchez

—Tout d’abord, qui pouvez-vous désigner meilleur photographe dans San Pedro Sula, Honduras ? :)

—I consider myself amongst the best wedding photographers in San Pedro Sula

—Êtes-vous photogénique ?

—I try to be. hahaha

—Comment avez-vous commencé à travailler dans la photographie ?

—I was freelance graphic designer and always had an interest in photography. My work led me to eventually pick up a DSLR and it totally changed my life. I studied at NYIP and learned many basic skills in all types of photography. Shooting my first wedding for a close friend I realized that in wedding photography you have to use all of those skills (product photography, photojournalism, portraiture, posing, directing, fashion photography). I have been hooked since then.

—Selon vous, quels sont les éléments les plus importants d'une bonne photo ?

—Lighting and composition are, in my opinion, the two most important factors in all photography. They are not the only ones, however, there is also posing, timing, anticipating, and creating a real connection with the couple will also translate into great images.

—Aimez-vous voyager ?

—I love traveling! From getting there, be it by sea, land or air, to actually getting to know new places, cities, cultures, people. My family and I enjoy traveling and it's one of our top common passions.

—Quel aspect de votre profession préférez-vous ?

—Being creative! Creating amazing images for my couples and seeing their reactions when we deliver them. It's an absolute joy to be able to light, compose, direct and capture and image that brings joy to my couples and myself.

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

—It's hard for me point it out. Maybe alway wanting new photography gear. hehe

—Quel est le futur de la photographie ?

—Couples will start to be more conscious about The Experience that they'll enjoy with the photographer they choose for their wedding. Final images will still be most important but the bond that forms between them and their photographer will certainly take a prominent role.

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

—The connection that builds between the photographer and the couple and their family. If that connection is there the images will definitely show it.

—Comment gérez-vous les critiques ?

—I believe everyone is allowed their own opinion

—Y a-t-il des modes dans la photographie ?

—Sure there are, at the time of writing this Dark and Moody edits and elopements are all the rage . Couples have to be careful to choose something that they really love and that they will enjoy 5, 10, 20 years from now and not just something that is trendy at this moment.

—Quels devraient être les critères pour qu'un client choisisse un photographe ?

—First they have to love the work their photographer makes. And second they have to feel that connection, that "click". The better the relationship with their photographer the better their images will turn out.

—Quels sont les interdits lors des photographies ?

—Missing the moment! A photographer must be ready and alert to capture the most important moments in a wedding cause they will not happen again.

—Quels détails seul un photographe peut-il remarquer ?

—The beauty that hides in the details.

—Qu'est-ce qui influence la valeur d'une photo ? Quels en sont les éléments ?

—Lighting, composition, posing, edit, etc.. are all technical terms. But it is how you use them together to create an image that brings back feelings, emotions that truly holds a photo's value.

—Quelle personne peut être le symbole du 21ème siècle selon vous ?

—Barack Obama. Not for being a great president but by being a great example and role model of what Human should be. Passionate, Compassionate, Driven and given to his fellow man.

—Quel a été le moment le plus impressionnant de votre vie ?

—The day of my wedding to my beautiful wife. I don't consider myself as special in the "VIP" kinda sense. But getting married in the Vatican by a Cardinal definitely made me feel like a child of God.

—Si vous étiez un personnage de dessin animé, de livre ou de film, qui seriez-vous et pourquoi ?

—I think I consider myself a Chandler from FRIENDS. Kind of a goofball but very creative, good at my job and deeply in love with my family and friends.

—Qui vous inspire dans votre vie et pourquoi ?

—My mom and my wife inspire me. My mom because she fought hard to raise 4 children on her own and give them the best education that she could. And my wife because she has motivated me to become better in all aspects of my life.
