—Welke criteria moet de klant hanteren bij het kiezen van een fotograaf?

—1) Do you like the photographer's work? 2) Do you like the photographer? Simple as that.

—Hoe bent u beland in de fotografie-industrie?

—In 2008, I was already doing amateur photography for a couple of year. To do something different for a change, I asked my uncle if I could photograph his wedding. It was his second marriage, they were not asking for a photographer, so there was little risk. I ended up liking it so much, that I decided to do it more.

—Bent u fotogeniek?

—No! I much rather be behind a camera.

—Wat zijn volgens u de belangrijkste elementen van een goede foto?

—Above all, the photo has to have a certain impact. Wether that's an intense emotion, a good vibe, or just a spectaculair visual impact. After that comes the technical part. So a good lighting, composition, etcetera. But for me, the impact is the most important part, by far.

—Houdt u van reizen?

—Yes, but with moderation though. I'd love to do 3-5 destination weddings a year. I don't think I'd enjoy doing 10, 15 or even more.

—Wat vindt u het leukst aan uw beroep?

—It sounds like a horrible cliché, but it's true: Every wedding is different. You never really know what's going to happen. Surprises can happen at every moment. Besides that, I think it's a great honor to be asked to create lifelong memories for the people that are getting married. 5, 10, 25 or even 50 years after they get married, people still remember who took their wedding photos. It's pretty wonderful that you can be an important part in people's lives.

—Wat vindt u het minst leuk aan uw beroep?

—Basically: The postprocessing. I have a horrible concentration when it comes to editing. I love editing my 50-75 favorites from a wedding, but after that, it gets hard for me to keep focused.

—Hoe gaat u om met kritiek?

—I try to extract what people really mean with their comments. Some people have difficulties in finding the right words to give feedback, sometimes making them sound rude. But I always try to figure out what's the real message there.

—Wat is er totaal uit den boze bij het fotograferen?

—'Allowed' is a big word. I'm not the one to say what's allowed or not. However, I don't like to unnecessarily intervene in a wedding. With the exception of the posed shots, I don't like having to tell people what to do, where to stand or how to look.

—Wat ziet u de toekomst van fotografie?

—I think the future of wedding photography will be a further evolution of the direction it's going in right now. More journalistic stuff, more moments. But besides that: technical advances. Faster camera's, better low light capabilities, and other accessories like drones, light field cameras, and stuff like that, giving photographers even more tools to being creative.

—Wat is er bijzonder aan het fotografiegenre waarin u zich specialiseert?

—I love many aspects of it. I love the fact that people are in a good mood, they take the time to look good as well. People get married in beautiful venues, and you as a photographer gets to be a part of so many people's special day. That's amazing.

—Ten eerste - wie beschouwt u als de beste fotograaf in San Diego? :)

—I think that we all want to say ourselves but really the best wedding photographer is the one the best fits the style of what the bride and groom are looking for. But as far as artistic, creative, documentary wedding photography, it's got to be me ;)

—Welke criteria moet de klant hanteren bij het kiezen van een fotograaf?

—Stay away from Pinterest and keep it real. Real is always better. Make sure they do research and spend the money. This is the ONE area you don't what to skimp out on. If the bride and groom set a budget and it turns out that wedding photographers cost more, well than it's time to change the budget as well. Don't try to work with it. Make sure you see at least 2 full weddings. Photographers only want to show you their best.

—Hoe bent u beland in de fotografie-industrie?

—Trying to make a picture. It's a challenge that is highly rewarding.

—Wat vindt u het minst leuk aan uw beroep?

—I am very hard on myself and by far my worst critic. But it's this that keeps me pushing, improving my eye and making better photographs.

—Hoe gaat u om met kritiek?

—I like it. As long as it's coming from the right people/places.

—Wat ziet u de toekomst van fotografie?

—Hopefully more documentary and true to life. There are a lot of clichés that are so unnecessary.

—Wat is er totaal uit den boze bij het fotograferen?

—Ruining moments to make something cheesy.

—Welke criteria moet de klant hanteren bij het kiezen van een fotograaf?

—Zapewne to czy fotografie spełniają ich oczekiwania, ale i powinni sprawdzić też jaką osobą jest fotograf, czy umie z należytym szacunkiem potraktować daną chwile.

—Hoe bent u beland in de fotografie-industrie?

—Pasja fotografowania pchnęła mnie w niemal każdą jej dziedzinę, jednak na fotografii ślubnej skupiam swoją uwagę ze względu na emocje jakie zawsze towarzyszą temu wyjątkowemu wydarzeniu.

—Bent u fotogeniek?

—Myślę że ocenić powinien to ktoś kto podjął by się sfotografowania mojej osoby. Sam sobie zdjęć nie robię więc nie mam zdana :)

—Wat vindt u het leukst aan uw beroep?

—Tak zwaną "magię" fotografowania. Fotografia to echo czegoś co było, przeminęło i gdzieś wybrzmiewa w naszych wspomnieniach. My jako fotografowie mamy jedno proste zadanie, aby to echo brzmiało jak najwyraźniej :)

—Wat vindt u het minst leuk aan uw beroep?
