Fotogrāfs Hiram Trillo

—Vai Tu esi fotogēnisks?

—Nope...that's why I try to stand behind the camera :)

—Kā tu nokļuvi fotogrāfijas jomā?

—I have been in photography for a while, but took the leap to wedding photography after being terribly disappointed with out own wedding imagery.

—Kuri, Tavuprāt, ir svarīgākie labas fotogrāfijas elementi?

—Emotion! An image without soul and feeling is an empty image.

—Vai Tu mīli ceļošanu?

—Yes! I am lucky enough to be able to travel all over the world capturing memories for other.

—Kas Tev vislabāk patīk savā profesijā?

—The range of people I get to meet, and the love displayed across cultures.

—Kas Tavā profesijā Tev patīk vismazāk?

—Traveling without my family! Now that I am a father it's tough leaving my family for days. But I have an amazing wife that is my rock and cheerleader.

—Kāda būs fotogrāfijas nākotne?

—I don't know and that is what I love about it. Having to discover myself and push myself each wedding is an amazing feeling and hope that I keep pushing forward.

—Kas ir īpašs fotogrāfijas žanrā, kurā specializējies?

—You have one shot! That is it! I love capturing moments as they happen and don't recreate any, so I have one shot.

—Kā Tu uztver kritiku?

—I think well. You have to, no one is perfect and the only way to keep learning and pushing yourself is by listening and paying attention. There will always be "hater" and people that will try to pull you down. Just keep your head up and your client happy.

—Vai fotogrāfijā ir kādas īpašas tendences?

—Yes, there are always trends and they change all the time. I try not to follow them because most trends die out. I focus on giving my clients timeless pieces with the next generation in mind. I want their children and grandchildren to cherish the images as much as they do.

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

—You must click! You have to have chemistry. Not every client is your client and when you figure that out you will develop amazing client relationships and long time friends.

—No kā fotogrāfējot būtu jāizvairās?

—It's free game with me, I want to see the crazy side of my clients. That's when i know they trust me completely.

—Kādus parasti nepamanītus brīžus var notvert fotogrāfs?

—To me is emotion! Like I mentioned before an images must have feeling and soul.

—Kas ir lielākā kļūda, ko Tu esi pieļāvis darbā?

—I accidentally formatted a full card thinking it was an old cart. Realized it in time and just put it away and recovered about 98% of images...phew!

—Kad Tu plāno ceļot, ko Tu ņem līdzi un kāpēc?

—I hope there is. It would be selfish of us to think we are the only planet with life. That is just lonely!
