Fotografer Edwin Sanchez

—Pertama-tama – menurut Anda, siapa fotografer terbaik di San Pedro Sula, Honduras? :)

—I consider myself amongst the best wedding photographers in San Pedro Sula

—Anda fotogenik?

—I try to be. hahaha

—Bagaimana awal Anda masuk ke bidang fotografi?

—I was freelance graphic designer and always had an interest in photography. My work led me to eventually pick up a DSLR and it totally changed my life. I studied at NYIP and learned many basic skills in all types of photography. Shooting my first wedding for a close friend I realized that in wedding photography you have to use all of those skills (product photography, photojournalism, portraiture, posing, directing, fashion photography). I have been hooked since then.

—Apa komponen terpenting dari foto yang baik menurut Anda?

—Lighting and composition are, in my opinion, the two most important factors in all photography. They are not the only ones, however, there is also posing, timing, anticipating, and creating a real connection with the couple will also translate into great images.

—Anda suka bepergian?

—I love traveling! From getting there, be it by sea, land or air, to actually getting to know new places, cities, cultures, people. My family and I enjoy traveling and it's one of our top common passions.

—Apa yang paling Anda suka tentang profesi Anda?

—Being creative! Creating amazing images for my couples and seeing their reactions when we deliver them. It's an absolute joy to be able to light, compose, direct and capture and image that brings joy to my couples and myself.

—Apa yang paling tidak Anda suka tentang profesi Anda?

—It's hard for me point it out. Maybe alway wanting new photography gear. hehe

—Bagaimana masa depan fotografi?

—Couples will start to be more conscious about The Experience that they'll enjoy with the photographer they choose for their wedding. Final images will still be most important but the bond that forms between them and their photographer will certainly take a prominent role.

—Apa yang istimewa dengan genre fotografi kekhususan Anda?

—The connection that builds between the photographer and the couple and their family. If that connection is there the images will definitely show it.

—Bagaimana Anda menangani kritik?

—I believe everyone is allowed their own opinion

—Adakah tren dalam fotografi?

—Sure there are, at the time of writing this Dark and Moody edits and elopements are all the rage . Couples have to be careful to choose something that they really love and that they will enjoy 5, 10, 20 years from now and not just something that is trendy at this moment.

—Apa yang seharusnya menjadi kriteria bagi pelanggan dalam memilih fotografer?

—First they have to love the work their photographer makes. And second they have to feel that connection, that "click". The better the relationship with their photographer the better their images will turn out.

—Hal-hal apa yang harus dihindari saat pemotretan?

—Missing the moment! A photographer must be ready and alert to capture the most important moments in a wedding cause they will not happen again.

—Detail apa yang umumnya lewat tanpa disadari yang tertangkap oleh fotografer?

—The beauty that hides in the details.

—Apa yang memengaruhi nilai sebuah foto? Apa saja elemen-elemennya?

—Lighting, composition, posing, edit, etc.. are all technical terms. But it is how you use them together to create an image that brings back feelings, emotions that truly holds a photo's value.

—Siapa yang dapat menjadi simbol abad ke-21 menurut pendapat Anda?

—Jika Anda karakter kartun, buku, atau film, siapakah Anda dan mengapa?

—I think I consider myself a Chandler from FRIENDS. Kind of a goofball but very creative, good at my job and deeply in love with my family and friends.

—Siapa yang menginspirasi Anda dalam hidup dan mengapa?

—My mom and my wife inspire me. My mom because she fought hard to raise 4 children on her own and give them the best education that she could. And my wife because she has motivated me to become better in all aspects of my life.
