写真家Edwin Sanchez氏

—最初に - サン・ペドロ・スラ, ホンジュラスで最高の写真家として誰の名前を挙げることができますか？:)

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

—写真写りは良い方ですか？

—I try to be. hahaha

—どうして写真撮影業界に入ったのですか？

—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.

—良い写真を撮影するにあたって最も重要な要素とは何であるか、ご意見をお聞かせいただけますでしょうか？

—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.

—旅行が好きですか？

—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.

—あなたの職業について一番好きなことは何ですか？

—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.

—あなたの職業について一番嫌いなことは何ですか？

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

—未来の写真撮影とはどのようなものでしょうか？

—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.

—あなたが専門とする特別な写真撮影のジャンルは？

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

—批判に対処するには？

—I believe everyone is allowed their own opinion

—写真撮影でトレンドはありますか？

—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.

—写真家選択の際に、お客様が基準とすべきことは何ですか？

—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.

—撮影の際、絶対に受け入れがたいことは何でしょうか？

—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.

—写真家が気づくことができる普段は見過ごさせる細かい点は何ですか？

—The beauty that hides in the details.

—写真の価値に影響を与えるものとは何でしょうか？その要因は？

—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.

—どのような人物が 21世紀を象徴する人物になり得るとお考えでしょうか？

—Barack Obama. Not for being a great president but by being a great example and role model of what Human should be. Passionate, Compassionate, Driven and given to his fellow man.

—人生において最も印象的な瞬間とは何でしょうか？

—The day of my wedding to my beautiful wife. I don't consider myself as special in the "VIP" kinda sense. But getting married in the Vatican by a Cardinal definitely made me feel like a child of God.

—もしあなたがアニメ化されるとしたら、文学または映画の登場人物のどちらになりたいですか。またそれは何故ですか？

—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.

—あなたの人生においてインスピレーションの元となるのはどんな人ですか？また、それは何故ですか？

—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.
