Fotograf Greg Korvin

—Først og fremst, hvem vil du si er den beste fotografen i Marbella, Spania? :)

—It could have been me, because of my passion for weddings and being a perfectionist and a French creative mind with a great sense of humor. But in Marbella there is a few great photographer working on wedding since more than 20 years.. My favourite: Jeremy Standley, I have worked with him many times!

—Er du fotogen?

—I look good maybe, but I prefer to be in the back of the camera.

—Hvordan ble du en del av fotografbransjen?

—I created Sol Wedding Marbella in 2006 because my passion is to make people happy with my work!

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

—For me an attractive photo should be original and different. Never intrusive and always showing the best emotions of the couples.

—Er du glad i å reise?

—I do love to travel and more for my work! We have done wedding in Scotland, Ireland, France and Portugal already..

—Hva liker du best med yrket ditt?

—My joy is to make couple happy with my original work. Because my job is my passion!

—Hva liker du minst med yrket ditt?

—Yes. I hate to see guest taking picture, seeing hundred smart phone and i-phone, tablet or cameras during the more important moment of the day; at the ceremony! Often very difficult to work properly. Yes. This is frustrating because at this important moment I think the guest and family should enjoy the present moment, and not taking pictures or video they will not watch after the wedding day, probably! NO SMART PHONE DURING THE CEREMONY PLEASE.

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ut for fotografering?

—I prefer to not imagine. But already is getting very affordable to any amateur to buy a great photo camera and take splendid photos with all the automatic modes and new easy to use apps..

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

—For me is the emotion, love and passion that you can fill at each wedding. Each wedding or bride and groom is different. Wedding Photography transmit so much love during the big day. It is not an easy task always, but I love it!

—Hvordan takler du kritikk?

—Criticism is very important to grow and learn. I learn everyday and get better every year, because of good or bad criticism!

—Finnes det noen trender innen fotografering?

—At the moment I think the vintage and retro style is the tendencies. I don't follow tendencies because I like to be original and unique.

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

—The most important to pay attention is the first contact and feeling with your wedding photographer when you first meet. The quality/creativity of is work and passion to is job, that they can probably see on is website or social media, also. Sometime is not only the best price that they should look for. Quality and dedication have a price.

—Hvilke ting er absolutt ikke tillatt under fotograferingen?

—Again. Seeing hundred smart phone and i-phone, tablet or cameras during the more important moment of the day; at the ceremony! Often very difficult to work properly. Yes. This is frustrating because at this important moment I think the guest and family should enjoy the present moment, and not taking pictures or video they will not watch after the wedding day, probably! NO SMART PHONE DURING THE CEREMONY PLEASE.

—Hvilke detaljer, som vanligvis ingen ville lagt merke til, kan en fotograf fange opp?

—So many details, so many original wedding decoration details, kids having fun, bridesmaid getting ready, people feeling happy or emotional..

—Hva påvirker bildets verdi? Hvilke elementer inneholder det?

—A picture is worth a thousand words! But a valuable photo for me, it's a photo that can make cry the bride, the groom or any family member. Touching the emotional of the person. This is big for me.
