Fotograf Siemenjov Galdes

—Er du fotogen?

—Only when I am not trying to be :)

—Hvordan ble du en del av fotografbransjen?

—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.

—Hva er de viktigste komponentene i et bra bilde etter din mening?

—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.

—Er du glad i å reise?

—I can't get enough of it ;)

—Hva liker du best med yrket ditt?

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

—Hva liker du minst med yrket ditt?

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

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ut for fotografering?

—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.

—Hva er det spesielle med den fotografisjanger du har spesialisert deg i?

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

—Hvordan takler du kritikk?

—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.

—Finnes det noen trender innen fotografering?

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

—Hva bør kriteriene være for en kunde som skal velge en fotograf?

—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.

—Hvilke ting er absolutt ikke tillatt under fotograferingen?

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