Fotograaf Studio By Ana Lui

—Hoe bent u beland in de fotografie-industrie?

—The Studio was created by Ana Lui back in 2007 and we have been shooting ever since. Ana is a great teacher and she quality checks every single image that goes out of the studio. We are very proud to have such high standards and so much experience. With over 100 weddings photographed and all our couples happy we photograph a limited number of weddings per year to give each couple bespoke service and all our energy.

—Wat vindt u het leukst aan uw beroep?

—We love meeting inspiring and amazing people, seeing new places and capturing the most unique moments for our clients. There is a sense of trust and fun that we love the most.

—Wat ziet u de toekomst van fotografie?

—We believe in timelessness, in creating images that would last forever and won't go out of fashion in 5 – 10 years. We believe simplicity, use of natural light and storytelling is the key to success.

—Zijn er bepaalde trends in fotografie?

—Currently there are two visible trends going. One with light, soft, feminine and romantic "fine art" feel. Mostly backlit and possibly shot on analogue film or edited to look like film. And another trend that is darker, moodier and more contrasty a lot of times exposed for highlights not for shadows. Both are simply amazing and it's a great way for each client to choose the style they are drawn to the most.

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

—In our opinion the bride and groom should be comfortable and feel at ease with their photographer. Trusting each other and being comfortable is the most important.

—Welke details die vaak onopgemerkt gaan, kan een fotograaf vastleggen?

—We are very visual so any bags lying around, trash, plastic bottles, cables and cords around the bride when getting ready, crooked tie, one piece of hair sticking out. We prefer fixing this before pressing the shutter. There is nothing worse than hair stuck to the brides face or twisted tie on every single photo, which couple would pick up on after getting the images back.

—Wiens werk heeft u het meest beïnvloed als fotograaf?

—For sure Ana Lui Photography, Jose Villa, KT Merry, Tec Petaja and Elizabeth Messina.

—Wat wil u graag zeggen met uw foto's?

—We want our clients to have beautiful memories that convey the details, portraits of the family, guests and capture the atmosphere of the whole place. We want our couples to have photographs from the location too, from the island, from the place they love to remind them how they felt being there.

—Het beste in het leven is:

—Chocolate, diving, CrossFit, food, good wine, sandy feet, cuddling dogs, jumping on a plane to go to exotic places, gardening
