Fotografer Hiram Trillo

—Anda fotogenik?

—Nope...that's why I try to stand behind the camera :)

—Bagaimana awal Anda masuk ke bidang fotografi?

—I have been in photography for a while, but took the leap to wedding photography after being terribly disappointed with out own wedding imagery.

—Apa komponen terpenting dari foto yang baik menurut Anda?

—Emotion! An image without soul and feeling is an empty image.

—Anda suka bepergian?

—Yes! I am lucky enough to be able to travel all over the world capturing memories for other.

—Apa yang paling Anda suka tentang profesi Anda?

—The range of people I get to meet, and the love displayed across cultures.

—Apa yang paling tidak Anda suka tentang profesi Anda?

—Traveling without my family! Now that I am a father it's tough leaving my family for days. But I have an amazing wife that is my rock and cheerleader.

—Bagaimana masa depan fotografi?

—I don't know and that is what I love about it. Having to discover myself and push myself each wedding is an amazing feeling and hope that I keep pushing forward.

—Apa yang istimewa dengan genre fotografi kekhususan Anda?

—You have one shot! That is it! I love capturing moments as they happen and don't recreate any, so I have one shot.

—Bagaimana Anda menangani kritik?

—I think well. You have to, no one is perfect and the only way to keep learning and pushing yourself is by listening and paying attention. There will always be "hater" and people that will try to pull you down. Just keep your head up and your client happy.

—Adakah tren dalam fotografi?

—Yes, there are always trends and they change all the time. I try not to follow them because most trends die out. I focus on giving my clients timeless pieces with the next generation in mind. I want their children and grandchildren to cherish the images as much as they do.

—You must click! You have to have chemistry. Not every client is your client and when you figure that out you will develop amazing client relationships and long time friends.

—It's free game with me, I want to see the crazy side of my clients. That's when i know they trust me completely.
