फोटोग्राफर Graziano Guerini

—क्या आप फ़ोटोजेनिक हैं?

—mmm...I don't think so :D

—आप फोटोग्राफ़ी इंडस्ट्री में कैसे आए?

—Probably in the same way of most of us: a friend asked me to shoot his wedding, then, since I had already a big passion about photography, after I saw that I enjoyed a lot to capture real moments, I decided to follow that path (step by step).

—आपकी नज़र में एक अच्छी तस्वीर में सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बातें क्या हैं?

—I think there is not an exact answer, everyone likes a photo because of many reasons, also personal reasons given by personal taste.
Personally, using of course a good technique, I aim to capture always the emotions, the real moments, that's what really matters in a perfect service in my opinion.
And in the Creative Sessions I aim to create beautiful photos, so I take care of the esthetique by following my personal sense of taste, but always trying to give some emotions to the viewers.
Also controlling lights and shadows is very important, often essential.

—क्या आपको यात्रा करना पसंद है?

—Yes, I love to see new places and to change the wedding locations too :) shooting weddings in different countries, with different traditions, it's very interesting.
But I travel also just for myself, obviously.

—अपने पेशे के बारे में आपको सबसे अधिक क्या पसंद है?

—What I said before, shooting weddings in different countries, with different traditions, it's very interesting, and we often work between Austria, Italy and Hungary, but not only.
And this job allows me to meet new people, of course, and this is also a beautiful side of being a wedding photographer.
And being able to give to these people memories they will be joyful to watch in the future, well, that makes me proud.

—अपने पेशे के बारे में आपको क्या सबसे कम पसंद है?

—Maybe the marketing part, it's a ton of work which is hidden to the eyes of most of the clients, and to be honest is not so great and fun like shooting photos :) but that's part of this job too, and must be done.
I also don't like the envy and malice that some photographers have of others colleagues, I think everyone should just think about giving his best, and caring only about to improve, continuously.

—फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी का क्या भविष्य है?

—I don't know.
Let's see, let's work at our best, and let's be ready for all the developments in this profession :)

—आप जिस फोटोग्राफी में स्पेश्लाइज़ेशन रखते हैं उसमें क्या खास होता है?

—To me, being the direct witness of great emotions, and not only: I'm the one in charge to capture those moments, it's a big responsability, and a honour too.

—आलोचनाओं को आप किस रूप में लेते हैं?

—It depends on how much competent is who criticize me :D jokes apart, I'm always studying, always trying new things, and always following photographers whose works I love, and I'm always ready to learn from them.
There is always to learn something new, and there is always someone who can teach me something.
So, I usually accept critics if well reasoned, or at least I reflect on them.

—क्या फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी में कोई ट्रेंड चल रहे हैं?

—Trends are going and coming continuously, but beautiful photos always remain, forever, and that's what matters.
I don't really care about trends, even if I take a look at them. But yes, definitely there are trends, like in about everything else.

—यदि किसी ग्राहक को फोटोग्राफ़र चुनना हो तो उसे क्या देखना चाहिए?

—I always say to people: "look my portfolio, also the full works, and if you feel something when you are watching my photos, then I'm the photographer you are looking for".
My photos will be the only memories of their best day, they must be absolutely sure that my style fits perfectly with their taste.

—शूटिंग के दौरान किन बातों की बिलकुल अनुमति नहीं होती है?

—The photographer must not become the protagonist of the scene, and he/she must always remember that it's not his/her wedding, but the bride and groom's wedding.
In few words, the photographer must not be intrusive.

—एक फोटोग्राफर ऐसी कौन सी चीजें कैप्चर कर सकता है जो आमतौर पर नज़रों में नहीं आतीं?

—A lot of details.
And as we know, details are what make the difference.

—फ़ोटो के मूल्य को क्या प्रभावित करता है? इसके तत्व यानी एलीमेंट्स क्या हैं?

—Again, details: the light, the composition, a natural smile, real tears, perfect moments, emotions.

—आप किसकी तस्वीरें उतारना चाहेंगे?

—I don't have a specific answer, in every people there can be a cool subject.

—क्या आपका कोई प्रोफ़ेशनल टैबू है यानी पेशे की दृष्टि से कोई वर्जित बातें?

—In wedding photography probably not.

—आप किसके साथ शूटिंग करना पसंद करेंगे?

—There are so many great colleagues, that it's hard to choose just one name.
Probably Ben Chrisman could be the name, and Daniele Vertelli too.

—आप किस बारे में चिंतित रहते हैं, और क्यों?

—I'm quite skeptical about the global politics of the last years, I think the world is not going in a good direction.

—आपके जीवन का सबसे प्रभावशाली क्षण कौन-सा है?

—When I married my wife.

—आपको अपने जीवन कौन सबसे अधिक प्रेरित करता है और क्यों?

—No one, honestly I never had models and I never needed models.

—सफलता को आप कैसे परिभाषित करते हैं? आप इसे कैसे मापते हैं?

—About my job, a good measure is when many couples suggest me to other friends, it means I did my job as I wanted, perfectly :)

—पसंद किए जाने की या सम्मान पाने की, आपकी चाहत क्या रहती है?

—First of all respected, then if I'm also liked...perfect :D

—अभी तक काम के दौरान सबसे बड़ी गलती या भूल आपकी क्या रही है?

—Sometimes I'm so concentrated about the work, that I forget the grooms' names :D luckily there is always my wife next to me to remind me the names

—जब आप यात्रा पर जा रहे होते हैं तो अपने साथ आप क्या लेकर चलते हैं और क्यों?

—A camera, to take photos of course :D
And a list of good and trustworthy places where to eat...I'm italian :D

—क्या आपके पास कोई ऐसी चीज़ है जिसे आप सोचते हैं कि काश मैंने इस गैजेट को नहीं खरीदा होता? यदि ऐसा है तो, क्यों?

—Probably there are some things which are not essential, but I use everything, some things more often than others, but no "regrets".

—आप बेहतर तस्वीरें लेने के लिए अपने आप को कैसे शिक्षित करते हैं?

—Mostly I follow the works of other colleagues whose style I love, and compare my works with theirs.
Also the contests in the various wedding photography associations I'm member of are a good way to measure your level.
But as a wedding photographer with a photojournalist approach, I follow also the works of the big names in photojournalism: McCurry, Koudelka, Salgado, Güler, Erwitt and so on...there is a lot to learn from them, that is very useful at weddings.

—एक फ़ोटोग्राफ़र के रूप में आप किसके काम से सबसे अधिक प्रभावित हैं?

—Who made me discover the beauty of wedding photography, I mean, an artistic type of wedding photography, where emotions are mixed to creativity and both are perfectly in balance to each others, it was Ben Chrisman.
When I saw his works for the first time, I was amazed (and I'm still nowadays, I always follow his new works), he showed me something I never saw before.
Then of course everyone has to follow his path, and has to create an own style.

—जब आपने फ़ोटो खींचना शुरू किया तो वह कौन-सी ऐसी एक चीज़ है जिसे आप सोचते हैं कि काश उसे आप जानते होते?

—That there is so much "hidden work": marketing, emails, equipment cares and upgrades, etc...a lot of time for that :)

—आप अपनी तस्वीरों के बारे में क्या कहना चाहते हैं?

—I want to show my point of view.
I always do what I like. And I like emotions, so I like to capture the emotions, and to show those photos to my couples: it's always great to see their happiness when they see it.

—तस्वीरें लेना जारी रखने के लिए कौन-सी बात आपको प्रेरित करती है?

—The fact I can express my creativity, the fact that my work can make happy other people also after many years.

—क्या आपके माता-पिता कमोबेश सख्त रहे होते?

—They have been ok when I was small, even too gentle :)

—यदि आप समय पर घर पहुँच सकें तो क्या कुछ आप अलग करना चाहेंगे?

—Maybe I would have started before with photography.
But probably I wouldn't change nothing, there is always a reason why things happen in a specific way.

—अन्य ग्रहों पर जीवन के बारे में क्या राय है?

—Why not? The universe is so big, so there could be another similar planet between the other billions :)

—आपके नायक-नायिकाएँ कौन हैं?

—As I said, no heroes.
People I admire yes, but no heroes.

—किसके लिए आपके मन में कोई इज्जत नहीं है?

—For ignorant people pretending to know and judge the things they clearly don't know nothing about, and inside the photography world for photographers that are taking care more to do "blablabla" and talking behind back of other colleagues casting in a bad light the colleagues' works rather than caring about to improve the quality of their own works.
Unfortunately there are many doing so, especially on the social networks (but there are also great people too between my colleagues, thanks God! And I have to say that Mywed gave me the possibility to get in contact with many great colleagues and great people).
But the correct word I would use is "I don't like", and not "I have no respect".

—आप अपने खाली समय में क्या करते हैं?

—I love cooking, I go running, mountain biking, fishing.

—कब आप अपने काम से पूरी तरह संतुष्ट होते हैं?

—Probably I'm never completely satisfied, I'm quite critic with myself, so there is always something I would do to improve something later.

—क्या आप पुरुषों और महिलाओं के लिए तय पारंपरिक भूमिकाओं में विश्वास करते हैं?

—No.

—क्या आप आसानी से दोस्त बना लेते हैं?

—I'm not so extroverse as not-italians usually expect from italians, but if I like a person I'm getting friendly quite soon :)

—आपको कहाँ पर रहना पसंद है?

—Now I'm not in Italy, the life took me somewhere else, but being close to it makes me feel ok :) I don't want to go far, Europe is good for me, especially the southern/central part :)

—क्या जीवन शादी के बाद होता है?

—It seems so :D

—क्या आपको कुत्ते या बिल्ली पसंद हैं?

—Yes, I think I have a special attraction on them, they become my friends almost instantly :)

—जीवन में सबसे अच्छी बात यह है:

—Life itself.

—जीवन में सबसे कष्टप्रद बात यह है:

—Annoying people and know-it-all people.

—क्या आपके आसपास कुछ ऐसा है जिसमें आप बदलाव चाहेंगे?

—Well, winning the lottery would be nice :D but jokes apart, no, around me everything it's ok as it is :)

—आप दुनिया में क्या बदलाव लाना चाहेंगे?

—Is this Miss Universe contest? :D
Do you know how many problems there are in the world? I should write an endless list.

—क्या आप बिल्कुल नए फ़ोटोग्राफ़रों के लिए कुछ सुझाव दे सकते हैं?

—Watch, study and follow the works of the "big names".
Learn the technique and the "rules". Then, when you have the technique, you must experience, break also the rules, try, try, and try new things.
Never think that you "arrived", that you learned everything.
Develop your style. Use your ideas. Be yourself. And do what you like.

—यदि एलियन पृथ्वी पर आ जाएँ और उनसे मिलने वाले आप सबसे पहले व्यक्ति हों तो आप उनसे क्या कहेंगे?

—Probably they don't speak my language :D But I'm italian, just with my hands I can say everything :D

—यदि आपसे किसी मूवी को शूट करने के लिए कहा जाए तो किस जॉनर को आप पसंद करेंगे?

—A commedy, or an action movie.

—कल मैं जाकर यह करूँगा/गी...

—..."the same thing we do every night Pinky...try to take over the world" :DDD
