Fotogrāfs Siemenjov Galdes

—Vai Tu esi fotogēnisks?

—Only when I am not trying to be :)

—Kā tu nokļuvi fotogrāfijas jomā?

—By pure coincidence and being in the right place at the right time. My first wedding was in 2012 and the rest as they say is history.

—Kuri, Tavuprāt, ir svarīgākie labas fotogrāfijas elementi?

—Some old school photographers would say technique, composition, verticles etc. I think all the mentioned techniques are important however the moment and the framing for me are key.

—Vai Tu mīli ceļošanu?

—I can't get enough of it ;)

—Kas Tev vislabāk patīk savā profesijā?

—Travelling, meeting new people and being able to tell a story through pictures.

—Kas Tavā profesijā Tev patīk vismazāk?

—To be honest I never thought much about this. In all fairness I can't think of anything else except the long hours.

—Kāda būs fotogrāfijas nākotne?

—Wedding photography is increasingly becoming more expressive and photographers around the world have pushed the bounderies and the art to scary new heights. I cannot say, though I am really curious to find out.

—Kas ir īpašs fotogrāfijas žanrā, kurā specializējies?

—Emotions! Not all weddings have it, but the ones who do, make it special beyond words.

—Kā Tu uztver kritiku?

—There is always something new to learn and good solid constructive criticism helps us become better and challange our routines. I am always eager to get feedback and I hope I can keep improving upon it.

—Vai fotogrāfijā ir kādas īpašas tendences?

—ohhh yes! I think you see changing trends mostly depending on the country and continent.

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

—I can answer this because I myself was a groom not long ago. I looked for a photographer who cares, someone who knows documentary photography and someone that is not afraid to get the best out of us on the wedding day. We actually enjoyed our day more thanks to the photographer we chose! I knew exactly what he would deliver before I even booked him.

—No kā fotogrāfējot būtu jāizvairās?

—Forget your phone, e-mails, messages and all distractions. Most importantly avoid going un-prepared.
