Fotografas Edwin Sanchez

—Pirmiausia ir svarbiausia – ką galite įvardinti kaip geriausią fotografą jūsų mieste? :)

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

—Ar esate fotogeniškas?

—I try to be. hahaha

—Kaip jūs atsiradote fotografijos industrijoje?

—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.

—Jūsų nuomone, kokie yra svarbiausi geros nuotraukos komponentai?

—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.

—Ar mėgstate keliauti?

—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.

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka labiausiai?

—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.

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka mažiausiai?

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

—Kokia bus fotografijos ateitis?

—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.

—Kuo ypatingas fotografijos žanras, kuriame jūs specializuojatės?

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

—Kaip susitvarkote su kritika?

—I believe everyone is allowed their own opinion

—Ar fotografijoje egzistuoja tendencijos?

—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.

—Kokie turėtų būti kliento kriterijai, kad pasirinkti fotografą?

—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.

—Kokių dalykų turi būti vengiama fotografuojant?

—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.

—Kokias detales, kurios paprastai būna nepastebėtos, gali pastebėti fotografas?

—The beauty that hides in the details.

—Kas įtakoja nuotraukos vertę? Kokie yra jos elementai?

—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.

—Koks žmogus Jūsų manymu galėtų būti 21 amžiaus simboliu?

—Kas yra įsimintiniausias dalykas nutikęs Jūsų gyvenime?

—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.

—Jeigu būtumėte animacinio filmo, knygos arba filmo veikėju, kuo norėtumėte būti ir kodėl?

—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.

—Kas ir kodėl Jus įkvepia gyvenime?
