Jean Jacques Fabien fotós

—Ön fotogén?

—I would say half photogenic

—Hogyan csöppent a fényképezés világába?

—I was passionate about photography since I was young. It's after looking at some stunning Wedding pictures done by top photographers that I was inspired to follow the same route. The freedom of creativity is what I enjoy the most into Wedding Photography.

—Véleménye szerint mik egy jó fotó legfontosabb elemei?

—I would say the light first. the way a subject is lit will make the picture attractive or repulsive. Then comes the subject itself.

—Szeret utazni?

—I moderately love traveling. I drive a lot and do not enjoy traveling so much.

—Mi szeret szakmájában a legjobban?

—Freedom of creativity, woaww effect from client when he looks at his pictures, satisfaction when I download and see nice shots, freedom to organize my time as I want, never a routine, always different, meet great people...

—Mi szeret szakmájában a legkevésbé?

—Sometimes very demanding which leaves me little space for family, having to recharge batteries every evenings, waiting for downloading pictures, sometimes chaining up days of shooting and having to drive long distances while being tired and sleepy.

—Milyen lesz a fotózás jövője?

—Digital imaging has unleash creativity from photographers. I do not see it change when I see how people love pictures so much and love creative pictures. I sometimes fear that phones will replace proper cameras since it is already happening into the hotel industry nowadays. They less and less call upon professional photographers but rely on enthusiasts "instagrammers" to remain active on social networks and use phone pictures and vintage look to keep "in".

—Mi a különleges abban a fotózási műfajban, amelyik az Ön szakterülete?

—Freedom of creativity, magic moments, emotions and... clothes, special mood and atmosphere, being able to direct any kind of people from simple gentlemen and ladies to CEOs and Corporate directors to do whatever you want them to do, :-)

—Hogyan bírja a kritikát?

—It depends. I'm very committed into my job and I'm very generous in what I do (always deliver more photos than promise). I cannot do this job halfway. Therefore, I don't like people criticizing what I do since they don't know how much I give into what i do.

—Észlelhetők tendenciák a fotózásban?

—More and more vintage type photos, more back-lit type of pictures and of course more and more drone photos.

—Creativity, generosity, Easy contact to make the couple at ease, being able to handle crowds, people and situations to get great photos and reassure the couple.

—Mi az, ami a fényképezés során teljességgel megengedhetetlen?

—Getting distracted by people, girls, checking the phone at important moments, talk loud at official ceremonies... Totally prohibited to drink alcohol at a Wedding even if the couple proposes. Even after the duty, Never drink because We all have to go back home.

—Milyen általában észrevétlen részletek ragadhatják meg egy fotós figyelmét?

—I never talk about religion or politics in a Wedding with anyone.

—Kivel szeretne lefényképezkedni?

—Some iconic Wedding photographers but also with a very good friend of mine who is also a photographer but who is currently not living in the same country than I. We started photography together but life has driven us on different paths. I would love to be able to shoot with him.

—Mi aggasztja és miért?

—I'm worried about unexperienced newcomers who "steal" the work of genuine photographers, of this kind of "made in china" type of mentality which makes everything available at very low price and kills the value of genuine photographers (if you understand what I mean).

—Mi élete legnagyszerűbb mozzanata?

—Two times. When I had a great shooting session with a couple and downloading the pictures to see some iconic shots I took and see them appear on my screen and start to work them straight away. It's a great moment. Also when I deliver pictures to my clients and see there eyes sparkle when they look at the pictures and hear them say woawww.

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

—Definitely the Mentalist. This assurance to depict people, know what they think, being able in a very smart way find a solution to a problem, never panic, having a talent for repartee, not scared to say or do weird things to finally sort out an issue.

—Ki van életére ihlető hatással és miért?

—God, Jesus, because I'm a believer and I strongly believe that God directs my path everyday. In many situations, I experienced "miracles". Sometimes in low season while the finances was very low, I had these unexpected calls from people I do not know and never met which hired me for a work and never saw them afterwards.

—Hogyan határozná meg a sikert? Mi a mércéje?

—Hova készül utazni, mit visz magával és miért?

—I usually take all of my equipment because I do not want on site needing something and it's not there. I sometimes have to force myself to bring less equipment for practical reasons because I'm always bothered wanting to do something and not having the gears to do it.

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

—I never regret anything I buy because they are always useful at a stage.

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

—I look at what other people do in order to be inspired (like on mywed). I spend a lot of time watching tutorials on editing on the web. I also try several functions on my camera in order to shoot in a smarter way at different occasions. For instance I like to shoot with off camera flash (portable studio flash) but I also force myself to shoot without flash in order to be more efficient in some occasions and get a different feel, mood and style.

However, i believe that A man cannot replace a Woman and vice versa. A father cannot be a mother and vice versa. When people try to invert this, it creates an imbalance in the family.
