Dory Chamoun fotós

—Ön fotogén?

—Ouff... even though I don't believe I am, I still have to say yes. The reason is that everyone has their photogenic side. Every person is unique and each uniqueness is beautiful. I have to follow what I preach because I know that I can capture the beauty in anyone I photograph.

—Hogyan csöppent a fényképezés világába?

—I have to say that my biggest influence since I was a child was my uncle. He always had a camera in hand, and therefore, so did I. I love life, and I love to show others the beauty in it. So in my career, I get to do that every single day. I have the privilege to be at everyone's important events and capture them through my eyes. I have the honour to be trusted by others for me to capture their personality and to later justify that trust. I simply love what I do.

—Véleménye szerint mik egy jó fotó legfontosabb elemei?

—For you to see yourself in there. For you to, not only remember the moment captured, but the emotions you were feeling at that moment. I want my clients to look back at their photos and relive each special moment. For them to look back and say "Yes, that was us". To evoke that emotion all over again, wether it be laughter, love, passion and even sadness at times.

—Szeret utazni?

—Absolutely! We love in this world. The boundaries of my life are not only the city lines, province lines, country lines... but the whole planet we live on. I love to experience all cultures and way of life. When I travel to do a destination wedding or event, I make sure to capture everything starting from the moment we leave until the moment I get back. I want them to have their whole trip captured.

—Mi szeret szakmájában a legjobban?

—The fact that I can show my clients the beauty in what I see trough my lens. That I can tell a story of their special day. That I can make anyone feel beautiful and photogenic. The ability to ave someone look back at their wedding and cry, smile, laugh and feel every ounce of emotion they felt then. To show them what I see.

—Mi szeret szakmájában a legkevésbé?

—That I can't clone myself and be in more places. That I am always tempted to do more. It's hard for me to stop shooting. I always want to keep going. As mochas I love my work, I always want to push to do more.

—Milyen lesz a fotózás jövője?

—For now... drones, in terms of tech. But for the art of it, it the classic side of it will always remain. Trends come and go and come back again. I can't say exactly what will happen, but I know that for as long as it exists, people will always be people... there will always be emotions and there will always be light. Photography is light.

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

—I adapt to my clients. I am passionate in what I do and therefore it translates into my work. I am not only there to capture their moments, but I am also there to make them feel great. All my couples feel comfortable when I am around. I help them enjoy each moment.

—Hogyan bírja a kritikát?

—As openly as I can. My ultimate goal is to offer the best I can to my couples. Needs change.. and if I don't listen and am open to it, then there is no point.

—Észlelhetők tendenciák a fotózásban?

—Yes, tons... too many to list. By the time you read this, more new ones will start. But, since I am asked, here are a few. (smoke bombs, back lighting, fun shots, jump shots, candids will always be in)

—Mi alapján kellene kiválasztaniuk az ügyfeleknek a fotóst?

—Meet your photographer. Sit down and chat with them. They will be with you for your whole day so having a good connection with them is key. They work will speak for itself, so now, speak with them.

—Mi az, ami a fényképezés során teljességgel megengedhetetlen?

—Hmmm... anything disrespectful I guess. I'm ok with having uncle bob shooting alongside of me. I will actually help adjust his camera so he can get better pictures. :)

—Milyen általában észrevétlen részletek ragadhatják meg egy fotós figyelmét?

—Well, the bride & groom are caught up in their moments. There day passes by so fast that they barely have a chance to focus on other things. A photographer will see something in a different light. A different angle. In doing so, he/she can bring out or emphasize more a story. There will always be the party shots that will be captures.
But overall, a whole story could happen in a fraction of a section and that, most people miss out on.

—Mitől válik értékessé egy fotó? Mik az elemei?

—Emotions and the story told.

—Véleménye szerint ki lehetne a 21. század szimbóluma?

—Everything and everyone :)

—Van valamilyen szakmai tabuja?

—I've been doing it long enough and love it way to much to be affected by anything.

—Kivel szeretne lefényképezkedni?

—Anyone as passionate as me. (I will give a shoutout to Yervant. I love his work and love his sense of humour and passion in what he does. He LOVES photography and life itself.)

—Mi aggasztja és miért?

—Missing a moment. That will always be there. I always strive to capture everything so it's normal to worry about missing something.

—Mi élete legnagyszerűbb mozzanata?

—I can't bring it down to one moment, or even a few. I want to have as many impressive moments as I can. Life is not about waiting for that one moment or measuring it up to everything else. It's about finding all the small moments that bring you joy.

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

—Superman... simply because I want to help and save anyone I can.

—Ki van életére ihlető hatással és miért?

—My uncle. He grew this passion in me.

—Hogyan határozná meg a sikert? Mi a mércéje?

—A szeretetet vagy az elismerést igényli jobban?

—I can't choose. Sorry.

—Mi volt a legnagyobb hiba, amelyet munkája során elkövetett?

—Ouch! I don't know if this would count, but once had the wrong file setting for my pictures. It meant I had to edit more afterwards.

—Hova készül utazni, mit visz magával és miért?

—Everything! I can't have a moment where I will say "If only I brought..."

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

—Everything I bought, I have used and made the best of it.

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

—By letting my inner creative side talk. I also get inspired by going to work shops and watching the work of others.

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

—Yervant

—Mi az, amit szeretné, ha tudott volna fotós pályafutása kezdetén?

—Not accurate to answer this at all because there will always be something to learn. Who I am today as a photographer was because of what I knew then and how I grew it from there.

—Mit kíván fényképeivel közölni?

—I want the story of that moment told. The emotions that were felt at that moment.

—Mi motiválja, hogy tovább fotózzon?

—I love life and always will.

—Hogy érzi, szülei szigorúbbak vagy kevésbé szigorúak lehettek volna inkább?

—Same as a previous question, I am who I am know because of my past. No changes. :)

—Ha visszatérhetne az időben, mit tenne másképp?

—Same answer as before as well. Nothing.

—Mi a véleménye a más bolygókon való életről?

—Socialize, play games, walk my dog

—Mely oldaláról nem ismeri a nyilvánosság?

—hah hah... if I said it, then it defeats the purpose. ;)

—When my couples are overwhelmed in emotion and satisfaction.

—Hisz a férfiak és nők hagyományos szerepében?

—Nope.. we are all equal and should be open to doing anything we like.

—Könnyen barátkozik?

—Don't you feel like you are my friend already? :)

—Hol szeretne élni?

—Too many places to choose from... but I love Europe overall. I would love to travel all over the world.

—Mi volt a legnagyobb szamárság, amelyre hagyta magát rábeszélni?

—Wear a mankini in public for losing a bet.

—Van élet a házasság után?

—of course.

—Van kedvenc vicce? Mondja el.

—oh boy... I will fill this field in after. Too many to tell and choose from. Meet with me and I will tell you a few. Deal?

—A kutyákat, vagy a macskákat kedveli inkább?

—I love all animals and have a gorgeous Berner names Maximus.

—Nothing

—A legjobb dolog az életben:
