Fotograf Hitesh Patel

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

—To be honest, noboby is the best. It depends on what the photographer sees and captures. Everyone has different vision including the clients, so the question is does my photos see your vision?

—Czy jesteś fotogeniczny/fotogeniczna?

—Being a photographer myself, I hate taking my own pictures. Thus, it's rare that I have shots of myself, I just do not look good :)

—Co sprawiło, że zajmujesz się fotografią?

—When my son was born, all I wanted to do was take some nice shots. That turned into a passion slowly, and today I am proud of how much I grew as a photographer. From taking photos on a mobile device to professional gear.

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

—Good lighting

—Kochasz podróże?

—Yes of course.

—Creating something amazing. Creating great composition. Creating images that makes my client say "WoW".

—Co najmniej lubisz w swoim zawodzie?

—Nope, honestly I enjoy everything about it. That's why I don't get bored. If you did not enjoy this you wouldn't last too long.

—Jaka będzie przyszłość fotografii?

—I really hope it doesn't change. Weddings are done based on religion and history, and I don't want to loose our history.

—Co wyróżnia rodzaj fotografii, którym się zajmujesz?

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

—Memories of your day, memories of your love one enjoying your wedding day, memories of the little ones running around having a blast, memories of mom and dad crying, memories of the groom reaction when he sees you for the first time.

—Kogo chcesz fotografować?

—I love shooting, it doesn't matter to me who is next to me.

—Czy masz zawodowe tabu?

—No

—Z kim marzy ci się fotografować?

—Again it doesn't matter to me, since I love shooting.

—Co cię martwi i dlaczego?

—Couples who are not into the photos aspect of the day. I know some couple hate posing and thus the reason why they don't get into the photos as much as I would like them to be. However, posing is not always required to take great images.

—Jaka była najwspanialsza chwila w twoim życiu?

—The day my son was born.

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

—Haha, I think the best answer would be Iron Man. One of my favorite cartoon/comic character simply because he's into alot of tech stuff.

—Kto inspiruje cię w życiu i dlaczego?

—My son, he's has very little knowledge and doesn't know alot, but it's for him, I am here working for. I want him to have a better life then what I had.

—Jaka jest twoja definicja sukcesu? Co jest jego miarą?

—Success to me is when I can spend more time with my family without worry about money. One way to measure it is by how many days in a week you spend with your family and how many days you spend working.

—Wolisz, aby cię lubiano czy szanowano?

—I rather be liked then respected. Respect means that you can not be down to earth with me, and can not be your self. Liked your more open to me. I rather have people more open to me instead of being respected.

—Co zabierasz ze sob w podróż i dlaczego?

—Everything, it's better to be well prepared then unpreapred. I take almost everything with me, because I do not know what I will run into.
