Fotograf Edwin Sanchez

—Po pierwsze i najważniejsze - kto według Ciebie jest najlepszym fotografem w Twoim mieście? :)

—I consider myself amongst the best wedding photographers in San Pedro Sula

—Czy jesteś fotogeniczny/fotogeniczna?

—I try to be. hahaha

—Co sprawiło, że zajmujesz się fotografią?

—I was freelance graphic designer and always had an interest in photography. My work led me to eventually pick up a DSLR and it totally changed my life. I studied at NYIP and learned many basic skills in all types of photography. Shooting my first wedding for a close friend I realized that in wedding photography you have to use all of those skills (product photography, photojournalism, portraiture, posing, directing, fashion photography). I have been hooked since then.

—Jakie twoim zdaniem są najważniejsze czynniki decydujące o dobrym zdjęciu?

—Lighting and composition are, in my opinion, the two most important factors in all photography. They are not the only ones, however, there is also posing, timing, anticipating, and creating a real connection with the couple will also translate into great images.

—Kochasz podróże?

—I love traveling! From getting there, be it by sea, land or air, to actually getting to know new places, cities, cultures, people. My family and I enjoy traveling and it's one of our top common passions.

—Co najbardziej lubisz w swoim zawodzie?

—Being creative! Creating amazing images for my couples and seeing their reactions when we deliver them. It's an absolute joy to be able to light, compose, direct and capture and image that brings joy to my couples and myself.

—Co najmniej lubisz w swoim zawodzie?

—It's hard for me point it out. Maybe alway wanting new photography gear. hehe

—Jaka będzie przyszłość fotografii?

—Couples will start to be more conscious about The Experience that they'll enjoy with the photographer they choose for their wedding. Final images will still be most important but the bond that forms between them and their photographer will certainly take a prominent role.

—Co wyróżnia rodzaj fotografii, którym się zajmujesz?

—The connection that builds between the photographer and the couple and their family. If that connection is there the images will definitely show it.

—Jak radzisz sobie z krytyk?

—I believe everyone is allowed their own opinion

—Czy w fotografii panują jakieś trendy?

—Sure there are, at the time of writing this Dark and Moody edits and elopements are all the rage . Couples have to be careful to choose something that they really love and that they will enjoy 5, 10, 20 years from now and not just something that is trendy at this moment.

—Jakie kryteria powinien przyjąć klient przy wyborze fotografa?

—First they have to love the work their photographer makes. And second they have to feel that connection, that "click". The better the relationship with their photographer the better their images will turn out.

—Jakie zwykle niezauważane szczegóły może uchwycić fotograf?

—Co wpływa na wartość zdjęcia? Jakie są jego składowe?

—Gdybyś był/była postaci z kreskówki, książki lub filmu, kto by to był?

—I think I consider myself a Chandler from FRIENDS. Kind of a goofball but very creative, good at my job and deeply in love with my family and friends.
