Fotogrāfs Franklin Balzan

—Vai Tu esi fotogēnisks?

—I wouldn't say so. I am usually the one behind the camera and do not enjoy being seen to much.

—Kā tu nokļuvi fotogrāfijas jomā?

—It was a natural evolution... I love street photography, fashion and portrait and therefore love shooting wedding photography in my artsy-journalistic style.

—Kuri, Tavuprāt, ir svarīgākie labas fotogrāfijas elementi?

—Especially for wedding photography, certainly the photo must convey emotion and have a story to tell. Apart from these two aspects then, there are also the technical aspects such as lighting and composition.

—Vai Tu mīli ceļošanu?

—Ohh yes :)

—Kas Tev vislabāk patīk savā profesijā?

—Moving from place to place, meeting new people and creating art.

—Kas Tavā profesijā Tev patīk vismazāk?

—The headache of possibly not being able to make it to the wedding due to some illness or something.

—Kāda būs fotogrāfijas nākotne?

—Mirrorless cameras are already with us – their technology has already catched with their heavier DSLR counterparts.

—Kas ir īpašs fotogrāfijas žanrā, kurā specializējies?

—Emotions and the once in a lifetime event, which everyone has been preparing so much to.

—Kā Tu uztver kritiku?

—Positively, as it helps me improve. Infact it helps me see things which otherwise I would not have noted.

—Vai fotogrāfijā ir kādas īpašas tendences?

—It seems most photographers are moving towards a journalistic fastpaced style.

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

—The artistic style of the photo – colour, tone, framing.

—No kā fotogrāfējot būtu jāizvairās?

—Relaxing! One must keep concentrated till the last seconds of a wedding.

—Kādus parasti nepamanītus brīžus var notvert fotogrāfs?

—Geometries, reflections, frames.

—Ar ko Tu kopā vēlētos fotogrāfēt?

—Roberto Valenzuela and Livio Lacurre certainly.
