Fotografo Hitesh Patel

—Prima di tutto - chi puoi definire come il miglior fotografo di Dahlonega, Stati Uniti? :)

—To be honest, noboby is the best. It depends on what the photographer sees and captures. Everyone has different vision including the clients, so the question is does my photos see your vision?

—Sei fotogenico?

—Being a photographer myself, I hate taking my own pictures. Thus, it's rare that I have shots of myself, I just do not look good :)

—Come sei entrato nell'industria della fotografia?

—When my son was born, all I wanted to do was take some nice shots. That turned into a passion slowly, and today I am proud of how much I grew as a photographer. From taking photos on a mobile device to professional gear.

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

—Good lighting

—Ti piace viaggiare?

—Yes of course.

—Che cosa ti piace di più nella tua professione?

—Creating something amazing. Creating great composition. Creating images that makes my client say "WoW".

—Che cosa ti piace di meno nella tua professione?

—Nope, honestly I enjoy everything about it. That's why I don't get bored. If you did not enjoy this you wouldn't last too long.

—Quale sarà il futuro della fotografia?

—I really hope it doesn't change. Weddings are done based on religion and history, and I don't want to loose our history.

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

—You get everything into one genre. Wedding have wide landscape shots, detail shots, portrait shots, close up (headshots), involved. Other genres are strictly one pointed.

—Come gestisci la critica?

—It only makes me better.

—Ci sono determinate tendenze nella fotografia?

—Not that I have come across yet

—Quali criteri dovrebbe utilizzare un cliente per scegliere un fotografo?

—How they capture the day and is it what you want your images to look like.

—Che cosa non è ammesso durante la ripresa fotografica?

—not knowing how to properly take photos, you only have one chance to make it right, the wedding is not gonna happen again.

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

—Invitation cards, wedding gifts, wedding decor.

—Che cosa influisce sul valore di una foto? Quali sono le sue componenti?

—Memories of your day, memories of your love one enjoying your wedding day, memories of the little ones running around having a blast, memories of mom and dad crying, memories of the groom reaction when he sees you for the first time.

—Chi vorresti fotografare?

—I love shooting, it doesn't matter to me who is next to me.

—Hai qualche tabù professionale?

—No

—Con chi vorresti fare una sessione di ripresa fotografica?

—Again it doesn't matter to me, since I love shooting.

—Che cosa ti fa preoccupare e perché?

—Couples who are not into the photos aspect of the day. I know some couple hate posing and thus the reason why they don't get into the photos as much as I would like them to be. However, posing is not always required to take great images.

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

—The day my son was born.

—Se tu fossi un personaggio di cartone animato, libro o film, chi saresti e perché?

—Haha, I think the best answer would be Iron Man. One of my favorite cartoon/comic character simply because he's into alot of tech stuff.

—Chi ti ispira nella vita e perché?

—My son, he's has very little knowledge and doesn't know alot, but it's for him, I am here working for. I want him to have a better life then what I had.

—Come puoi definire il successo? Come si misura?

—Success to me is when I can spend more time with my family without worry about money. One way to measure it is by how many days in a week you spend with your family and how many days you spend working.

—Preferiresti essere amato o rispettato?

—I rather be liked then respected. Respect means that you can not be down to earth with me, and can not be your self. Liked your more open to me. I rather have people more open to me instead of being respected.

—Preparandoti per partire, che cosa metteresti in valigia e perché?

—Everything, it's better to be well prepared then unpreapred. I take almost everything with me, because I do not know what I will run into.
