—O que há de especial para si, no género de fotografia em que se especializou?

—It's more intimate, you get to know real people and as a photographer you have to become one with the wedding itself. Achieve that connection with groom and bride and also the guests.

—Como lida com as críticas?

—Photography as an art has been always very subjective, but there's something no one can deny; a good photo is a good photo! Even if you can't explain it. Also in photography you never stop learning, so I don't take criticism too serious, just take the best part of it and forget the rest!

—Que detalhes passam habitualmente despercebidos mas nos quais um fotógrafo repara?
