Fotogrāfs Edwin Sanchez

—Pirmkārt un galvenokārt - kurš Tavuprāt ir labākais fotogrāfs Tavā pilsētā? :)

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

—Vai Tu esi fotogēnisks?

—I try to be. hahaha

—Kā tu nokļuvi fotogrāfijas jomā?

—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.

—Kuri, Tavuprāt, ir svarīgākie labas fotogrāfijas elementi?

—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.

—Vai Tu mīli ceļošanu?

—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 Tev vislabāk patīk savā profesijā?

—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 Tavā profesijā Tev patīk vismazāk?

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

—Kāda būs fotogrāfijas nākotne?

—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.

—Kas ir īpašs fotogrāfijas žanrā, kurā specializējies?

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

—Kā Tu uztver kritiku?

—I believe everyone is allowed their own opinion

—Vai fotogrāfijā ir kādas īpašas tendences?

—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.

—Kādi ir kritēriji, kas klientam jāņem vērā, izvēloties fotogrāfu?

—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.

—No kā fotogrāfējot būtu jāizvairās?

—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.

—Kādus parasti nepamanītus brīžus var notvert fotogrāfs?

—The beauty that hides in the details.

—Kas ietekmē fotogrāfijas vērtību? Kādi ir tās elementi?

—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.

—Kurš cilvēks, Tavuprāt, varētu būt 21. gadsimta simbols?

—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.

—Kas ir Tavas dzīves iespaidīgakais brīdis?

—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.

—Ja Tu būtu multfilmas, grāmatas vai filmas varonis, kurš tas būtu un kāpēc?

—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 Tevi iedvesmo dzīvē un kāpēc?
