Fotografo Dan Fedez

—Prima di tutto - chi puoi definire come il miglior fotografo di Cabo San Lucas, Messico? :)

—There are some really good photographers here, each one with it's own style.

—Sei fotogenico?

—I usually look better on the othe side of the camera haha

—Come sei entrato nell'industria della fotografia?

—Had the opportunity to work with a company that does lifestyle photography, after a year I jumped to wedding photography with them and 1 year later I decided to work by myself.

—Secondo te, quali sono le componenti più importanti di una bella foto?

—Ti piace viaggiare?

—Of course, who doesn't! That's actually what approached me to photography! You will see a lot of traveling photos as well on my social media.

—Che cosa ti piace di più nella tua professione?

—For the wedding couple there's always the doubt of how are the photos going to be, but looking at their reaction and excitement once they see them it's one of things to feel thankful for.

—Che cosa ti piace di meno nella tua professione?

—Bridezillas haha or sometimes the maid of honor. I know, I know; they want everything to be perfect on the big day, but hey, you have to trust me on this one, let the art behind the lenses flow!

—Quale sarà il futuro della fotografia?

—Hopefully better and better photographs, there's a little bit of doubt about photography and the upcoming technology, but I think the artsy element it's always going to be human, no matter what.

—Cosa c'è di speciale nel genere di fotografia in cui sei specializzato?

—It's more intimate, you get to know real people and as a photographer you have to become one with the wedding itself. Achieve that connection with groom and bride and also the guests.

—Come gestisci la critica?

—Photography as an art has been always very subjective, but there's something no one can deny; a good photo is a good photo! Even if you can't explain it. Also in photography you never stop learning, so I don't take criticism too serious, just take the best part of it and forget the rest!

—Ci sono determinate tendenze nella fotografia?

—Yes, the same as any other style of photography or even art; there's always gonna be tendencies, some may follow them, some may not and some may create them.

—Read the bio, see their pictures and see if you really feel identified with that specific photographer, remember; is the best day of your life!

—Che cosa non è ammesso durante la ripresa fotografica?

—Not to be open to suggestions, I've seen a lot of photographers mounted on their egos, shooting their own style not paying attention to what the couple wants! Big mistake!

—Quali dettagli, che solitamente passano inosservati, riesce a notare un fotografo?

—It's hard to be in different places at the time, it's always good to count on a second camera to get that little details that can be missed for a bit of a sec while doing the "important shot".

—Hai qualche tabù professionale?

—Photoshop. To make a photograph look the way it is "supposed to be" instead of showing the real thing!

—Con chi vorresti fare una sessione di ripresa fotografica?

—I think Jim Carrey is one of the most interesting persons in the world, for me he sees life through different eyes than the average person.

—Sometimes technology can play tricks on you or even betray you, but as long as you are well prepared, there's nothing to worry about.

—Qual è stato il momento più impressionante della tua vita?

—The present! I've always been to "easy going" to worry about the past, or future, just try to relax and enjoy the moment!
