Maria Simon fotós

—Mindenekelőtt - ki a legjobb fotós Ibiza, Spanyolország városában? : )

—I think the best photographer is the one who you feel a connection and comfortable with. Each wedding is unique as is your vision of photography.
There is no " best". Its more about the most suitable for you.

—Ön fotogén?

—If a friend catches me in a candid happy moment, yes!

—Hogyan csöppent a fényképezés világába?

—I always loved to paint and craft and my plan was to study arts. But then a camera got into my hands and I felt so enthusiastic and passionate about taking pictures that I decided overnight to become a photographer. The rest is history :-)

—Véleménye szerint mik egy jó fotó legfontosabb elemei?

—If I remember it :-) We have so much visual input every day. If a photo creates a feeling, a mood and tells a story, its a big winner. Of course the tones, setting and composition are important too. Most of all they have to fit the story.

—Szeret utazni?

—Yes I absolutely LOVE traveling and capturing weddings across Europe.

—Mi szeret szakmájában a legjobban?

—Connecting with people and finding beauty in everything. The freelance aspect. Creating constantly. The process of editing and putting the story together. I absolutely LOVE to meet so many inspiring souls along the way.

—Milyen lesz a fotózás jövője?

—Hopefully a return to simplicity, rawness, authenticity. Photography appreciated and valued as art, not as "content creating".

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

—I work across various genres and they all have their magic.

—Hogyan bírja a kritikát?

—Criticism lets me grow constantly and pushes me out of my comfort zone.

—Mi alapján kellene kiválasztaniuk az ügyfeleknek a fotóst?

—It depends on your priorities. I would say the connection and the style you are looking for, are very important. You should feel comfortable and relaxed with your photographer of choice.

—Mitől válik értékessé egy fotó? Mik az elemei?

—A timeless photo is always the winner

—Mit kíván megörökíteni?

—I always love to explore new faces. And I love freckles.

—Van valamilyen szakmai tabuja?

—Yes. Elegance is key. When it gets tacky or pornographic, I am out.

—Kivel szeretne lefényképezkedni?

—Romy Schneider, Alain Delon, Paul Newman, Sofia Loren, Monica Belucci....
I love all the actors from the earlier days...its an endless list :-)

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

—Amelie.

—Ki van életére ihlető hatással és miért?

—people in general inspire me, sometimes a short conversation with a stranger brings a new aspect to my life

—Hogyan határozná meg a sikert? Mi a mércéje?

—Its already a big success when you love what you do and make a living from it.
When you reach your very personal goals in all areas of your life. Abundance, inner peace, love, health and of course a stable and established business. When work and life are in balance then I think you did it right :-)

—I watch movies, look through photography books. I love improving through practice.

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

—Helmut Newton, Guy Bourdin among so many others.

—Mit kíván fényképeivel közölni?

—I was never a provocateur. I just want to create magical moments, capture beauty in all ways and create timeless memories. The world is a tough place and somehow I just want to take you with me to a happy place.

—Mi motiválja, hogy tovább fotózzon?

—First of all my happy and grateful clients. They keep me going and motivated! And probably my creative mind when I have a new story in my head.

—Mi a véleménye a más bolygókon való életről?

—I would say get this planet sorted out first, but I am sure we are not alone.
