—最初に - アガディール, モロッコ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?:)
—There are a lot of really great upcoming photographers in Agadir! It really is a beautiful place for a photographer to grow! But as far as who is the best, I'd rather not say, so not to offend!
-
—写真写りは良い方ですか?
—Depends on who takes the photo! hahaha! My wife does a great job of making me look good!
-
—どうして写真撮影業界に入ったのですか?
—I started out more of a commercial photographer, and a wedding planner friend asked me to capture the events of one of her clients. I agreed and loved it! The bride and groom also loved the photos and from there I decided to put more emphasis on the wedding photography industry! It's been an absolute joy capturing the love stories of those we now consider good friends!

-

-
—未来の写真撮影とはどのようなものでしょうか?
—Robots. All Robots. Some guy in the corner controlling the robots. It will be lame. For me, I will always take the personal approach, it's what I love about my job!
-
—あなたが専門とする特別な写真撮影のジャンルは?
—Again, I think it's the relationship. It's so key. If I can help a bride and groom relax and not be stressed about the photography on the day of their wedding, then they can just have fun and enjoy their special day. I believe that this comes by getting to know our couples, learn what makes them laugh and hear their story. Not being in the way of their way and upsetting a special moment, but rather being apart of the day and capturing it.
-
—批判に対処するには?
—No one likes criticism if they are not looking for it. But if you take an approach of criticism being a way to learn and grow then it's welcomed. I often will seek out criticism so that my couples can continue receiving the best!
-
—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?
—I think a couple should really look at a photographers style. If they like their style that is a good starting point. Sometimes photographers have a lot of different styles which can be ok, but then the expectations of a couple of what their photos will look like is a bit shakey. I think reliability and professionalism are also huge.
