写真家Hitesh Patel氏

—最初に - ダロネガ, アメリカ合衆国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？:)

—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?

—写真写りは良い方ですか？

—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 :)

—どうして写真撮影業界に入ったのですか？

—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.

—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？

—Good lighting

—旅行が好きですか？

—Yes of course.

—あなたの職業について一番好きなことは何ですか？

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

—あなたの職業について一番嫌いなことは何ですか？

—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.

—未来の写真撮影とはどのようなものでしょうか？

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

—あなたが専門とする特別な写真撮影のジャンルは？

—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.

—批判に対処するには？

—It only makes me better.

—写真撮影でトレンドはありますか？

—Not that I have come across yet

—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？

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

—撮影の際、絶対に受け入れがたいことは何でしょうか？

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

—Invitation cards, wedding gifts, wedding decor.

—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？

—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.

—どんな人を撮影したいですか？

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

—プロとしてタブーとしている事はありますか？

—No

—誰と一緒に写真を撮りたいですか？

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

—心配事はありますか。またその理由は何でしょうか？

—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.

—人生において最も印象的な瞬間とは何でしょうか？

—The day my son was born.

—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？

—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.

—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 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.

—あなたによって成功とは何でしょうか？また、それをどのように評価していますか？

—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.

—好かれたり、尊敬されたりするほうですか？

—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.

—旅行に出かける際には何を持っていきますか。また、それは何故ですか？

—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.
