Vasilis Liappis fotós

—Mindenekelőtt - ki a legjobb fotós Athén, Görögország városában? : )

—Ön fotogén?

—I am very photogenic, especially behind my camera!

—Hogyan csöppent a fényképezés világába?

—I started as a photography student, back in 1998, working at the same time as an assistant in a commercial studio. Since then, I have tried and worked in many genres of professional photography industry, with the latest being the wedding photography, which I practice for more than 6 years now.

—Véleménye szerint mik egy jó fotó legfontosabb elemei?

—Less is more, first and foremost, and secondly, a good communication of feelings from the subject.

—Szeret utazni?

—I love traveling and always looking forward to it. If I can achieve traveling and work, I'm a happy man!

—Mi szeret szakmájában a legjobban?

—Connecting with new people, couples and professionals.

—Észlelhetők tendenciák a fotózásban?

—Trends come and go, but a good photo is always good, no matter how many years pass.

—Mi alapján kellene kiválasztaniuk az ügyfeleknek a fotóst?

—First of all, I believe that both parties should have some common ground. Besides the budget and services provided, the photographer and the client should get along well. That is the first thing I tell my new clients, when I get a request for a booking. I like to meet them first, and if we get along well, from the first meeting, then everything else is doable. Of course, quality of services provided, professionalism and discretion play an equally important role in choosing a photographer.

—Not to be distracted by anything, not to be rude to anyone, not to be nervous or anxious by any circumstances that may occur.

—Milyen általában észrevétlen részletek ragadhatják meg egy fotós figyelmét?

—Reactions of guests in a wedding, beautiful light (reflections, backlight, sidelight etc), shapes and all kinds of things that can form a good composition for a photograph.

—Mitől válik értékessé egy fotó? Mik az elemei?

—How interesting the subject is, what makes it pop inside the photo, which are the secondary elements that help the subject, and of course the quality of light used.

—The common man, you and me.

—Mit kíván megörökíteni?

—I want to take photos of my girlfriend, just because she never lets me!!! The most difficult subject I ever met, lol!

—Van valamilyen szakmai tabuja?

—I always, always arrive at least half an hour earlier than agreed, always deliver earlier than agreed as well.

—Kivel szeretne lefényképezkedni?

—I would love to shoot with George Pahountis, a fellow Greek photographer, with whom I have the same origins as well. Island of Karpathos that is.

—Mi aggasztja és miért?

—I worry much about intolerance, because that makes people hateful, and in history the examples are more than enough that show where this has brought mankind.

—Mi élete legnagyszerűbb mozzanata?

—The first time I traveled by my self. I loved the feeling of freedom to chose what I'd do next. It was also a good chance to discover myself and to think deep about many things that concerned me at that time.

—Ha rajzfilmfigura, irodalmi alak vagy moziszereplő lehetne, kit választana és miért?

—As a child, I loved reading a comic series, named "Lucky Luke", by a Belgian artist Morris. I loved the fact that he was efficient no matter the circumstances he had to face each time, he was lonely with a horse as his only friend, and always, riding towards the sunset as a lonesome cowboy.

—Van a tulajdonában lévő kacatok közt olyasmi, aminek a megvásárlását megbánta? Miért?

—I'm not a compulsive buyer, so, everything I buy is for a reason, and being used.

—Hogyan fejleszti magát, hogy egyre jobb képek kerüljenek ki a kezei alól?

—Kinek a munkája volt a legnagyobb hatással az fotós pályafutására?

—When I started, I loved Edward Hopper's paintings. Victor Lax is one of my favorites, but I also admire and being influenced from many other styles as well.
