Fotogrāfs Gergely Vas

—Vai Tu esi fotogēnisks?

—In 99% of the cases I am at the other end of the camera, so it's hard to say :)

—Kā tu nokļuvi fotogrāfijas jomā?

—I was the victim of a friend's request, after which I kept being passed around and the circle became wider and wider. I have a colourful personality though, besides wedding photography I like to venture into the more artistic side of my profession.

—Kuri, Tavuprāt, ir svarīgākie labas fotogrāfijas elementi?

—The right subject(s), according history and to capture the unique moment.

—Vai Tu mīli ceļošanu?

—I do! I think I have a "travel-gene" somewhere in me, I pass by a dozen places throughout the year, be it for work or holiday purpouses.
When it concerns work, it is usually Spain, Malta and Cyprus that are top of the list, but I hope this range will widen further.

—Kas Tev vislabāk patīk savā profesijā?

—At weddings, it is to allow the couples to relive their most important, most beautiful memories, getting them into fun situations which they are very gratful for – I like it when they thank me for my work and I can see the confirmation in their eyes that I have performed at least at a 100%.
I also like my clients' positive feedback on my ideas and their adherence towards me

—Kas Tavā profesijā Tev patīk vismazāk?

—That there is sometimes not enough time for a project :(

—Kāda būs fotogrāfijas nākotne?

—Uniqueness, creativity, motivation

—Kas ir īpašs fotogrāfijas žanrā, kurā specializējies?

—A fantastic location (which is given at many a mediterranean country), the couples' personal attitude/style and lots&lots of creative ideas!

—Kā Tu uztver kritiku?

—Pretty well! If it's constructive criticism and useful when thought through, then I will definitely integrate it into my daily work.

—Vai fotogrāfijā ir kādas īpašas tendences?

—Thankfully – and at the same time, unfortunately – yes.

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

—- the pictures and their style
- the personality of the photographer (to meet in person in advance is paramount!)
- flexibility
- finally, the price/performance

—No kā fotogrāfējot būtu jāizvairās?

—I have not yet encountered a situation like this – perhaps I am lucky? :)

—Kādus parasti nepamanītus brīžus var notvert fotogrāfs?

—In this line of work we often have to look ahead in certain situations, we need to notice an important moment before it actually happens. Coherent events, the outburst or even withholding of emotions, a look – overall multiple facets that merge into one single scene.

—Kā Tu mācies, lai uzņemtu arvien labākas fotogrāfijas?

—Talk with colleagues, putting up new experiences.

—Ko Tu vēlies pastāstīt ar savām fotogrāfijām?

—Share moments, emotions, and – if it doesn't concern weddings,- depict my own emotions and gorgeous landscapes

—Kas Tevi motivē turpināt uzņemt fotogrāfijas?

—I'd like to visit as many places as possible, create extraordinary material to still my hunger for perfection

—Ja Tu varētu ceļot atpakaļ laikā, ko Tu darītu savādāk?

—I do not regret anything...

—Kad Tu esi pilnībā apmierināts ar savu darbu?

—When I see that an album receives a bright smile even at the second viewing.
Non-wedding relatedly: a direct second order, an honest compliment.

—Vai Tu vienkārši sadraudzējies?

—I'm an instant blender :)

—Kur Tu vēlētos dzīvot?

—Near the sea

—Vai pastāv dzīve pēc kāzām?

—I have not tried it yet ;)

—Kas Tev patīk labāk - kaķi vai suņi?

—Dogs are not just with you out of interest, I respect and love them more, but I am ok with cats too.

—Ja uz zemes nolaistos citplanētieši un Tu būtu pirmais, ko viņi satiktu, ko Tu viņiem teiktu?

—Hi, would you like to grab a beer? :D

—Rīt es aiziešu un izdarīšu...

—...nothing, just sleep long and deep for a change:)
