写真家Greg Korvin氏

—最初に - マルベリャ, スペイン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？:)

—It could have been me, because of my passion for weddings and being a perfectionist and a French creative mind with a great sense of humor. But in Marbella there is a few great photographer working on wedding since more than 20 years.. My favourite: Jeremy Standley, I have worked with him many times!

—写真写りは良い方ですか？

—あなたの職業について一番嫌いなことは何ですか？

—Yes. I hate to see guest taking picture, seeing hundred smart phone and i-phone, tablet or cameras during the more important moment of the day; at the ceremony! Often very difficult to work properly. Yes. This is frustrating because at this important moment I think the guest and family should enjoy the present moment, and not taking pictures or video they will not watch after the wedding day, probably! NO SMART PHONE DURING THE CEREMONY PLEASE.

The quality/creativity of is work and passion to is job, that they can probably see on is website or social media, also. Sometime is not only the best price that they should look for. Quality and dedication have a price.

—撮影の際、絶対に受け入れがたいことは何でしょうか？

—Again. Seeing hundred smart phone and i-phone, tablet or cameras during the more important moment of the day; at the ceremony! Often very difficult to work properly. Yes.

NO SMART PHONE DURING THE CEREMONY PLEASE.
