फोटोग्राफर Hitesh Patel

—सबसे पहले सबसे महत्वपूर्ण बात - आप Dahlonega, यूनाइटेड स्टेट्‍स में सबसे अच्छा फोटोग्राफर किसे कह सकते हैं? :)

—To be honest, noboby is the best. It depends on what the photographer sees and captures. Everyone has different vision including the clients, so the question is does my photos see your vision?

—क्या आप फ़ोटोजेनिक हैं?

—Being a photographer myself, I hate taking my own pictures. Thus, it's rare that I have shots of myself, I just do not look good :)

—आप फोटोग्राफ़ी इंडस्ट्री में कैसे आए?

—When my son was born, all I wanted to do was take some nice shots. That turned into a passion slowly, and today I am proud of how much I grew as a photographer. From taking photos on a mobile device to professional gear.

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

—Good lighting

—क्या आपको यात्रा करना पसंद है?

—Yes of course.

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

—Creating something amazing. Creating great composition. Creating images that makes my client say "WoW".

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

—Nope, honestly I enjoy everything about it. That's why I don't get bored. If you did not enjoy this you wouldn't last too long.

—फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी का क्या भविष्य है?

—I really hope it doesn't change. Weddings are done based on religion and history, and I don't want to loose our history.

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

—You get everything into one genre. Wedding have wide landscape shots, detail shots, portrait shots, close up (headshots), involved. Other genres are strictly one pointed.

—आलोचनाओं को आप किस रूप में लेते हैं?

—It only makes me better.

—क्या फ़ोटोग्राफ़ी में कोई ट्रेंड चल रहे हैं?

—Not that I have come across yet

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

—How they capture the day and is it what you want your images to look like.

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

—not knowing how to properly take photos, you only have one chance to make it right, the wedding is not gonna happen again.

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

—Invitation cards, wedding gifts, wedding decor.

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

—Memories of your day, memories of your love one enjoying your wedding day, memories of the little ones running around having a blast, memories of mom and dad crying, memories of the groom reaction when he sees you for the first time.

—आप किसकी तस्वीरें उतारना चाहेंगे?

—I love shooting, it doesn't matter to me who is next to me.

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

—No

—आप किसके साथ शूटिंग करना पसंद करेंगे?

—Again it doesn't matter to me, since I love shooting.

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

—Couples who are not into the photos aspect of the day. I know some couple hate posing and thus the reason why they don't get into the photos as much as I would like them to be. However, posing is not always required to take great images.

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

—The day my son was born.

—यदि आपके पास किसी एनीमेशन, साहित्य या मूवी का कैरेक्टर बनने का मौका हो तो आप कौन-सा कैरेक्टर बनना चाहेंगे और क्यों?

—Haha, I think the best answer would be Iron Man. One of my favorite cartoon/comic character simply because he's into alot of tech stuff.

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

—My son, he's has very little knowledge and doesn't know alot, but it's for him, I am here working for. I want him to have a better life then what I had.

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

—Success to me is when I can spend more time with my family without worry about money. One way to measure it is by how many days in a week you spend with your family and how many days you spend working.

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

—I rather be liked then respected. Respect means that you can not be down to earth with me, and can not be your self. Liked your more open to me. I rather have people more open to me instead of being respected.

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

—Everything, it's better to be well prepared then unpreapred. I take almost everything with me, because I do not know what I will run into.
