Fotógrafo Gergely Vas

—Você é fotogénica(o)?

—In 99% of the cases I am at the other end of the camera, so it's hard to say :)

—Como se iniciou na indústria da fotografia?

—I was the victim of a friend's request, after which I kept being passed around and the circle became wider and wider. I have a colourful personality though, besides wedding photography I like to venture into the more artistic side of my profession.

—Em sua opinião, quais são os componentes mais importantes para uma boa fotografia?

—The right subject(s), according history and to capture the unique moment.

—Gosta de viajar?

—I do! I think I have a "travel-gene" somewhere in me, I pass by a dozen places throughout the year, be it for work or holiday purpouses.
When it concerns work, it is usually Spain, Malta and Cyprus that are top of the list, but I hope this range will widen further.

—O que mais gosta na sua profissão?

—At weddings, it is to allow the couples to relive their most important, most beautiful memories, getting them into fun situations which they are very gratful for – I like it when they thank me for my work and I can see the confirmation in their eyes that I have performed at least at a 100%.
I also like my clients' positive feedback on my ideas and their adherence towards me

—O que menos gosta na sua profissão?

—That there is sometimes not enough time for a project :(

—Qual será o futuro da fotografia?

—Uniqueness, creativity, motivation

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

—A fantastic location (which is given at many a mediterranean country), the couples' personal attitude/style and lots&lots of creative ideas!

—Como lida com as críticas?

—Pretty well! If it's constructive criticism and useful when thought through, then I will definitely integrate it into my daily work.

—Existem tendências na fotografia?

—Thankfully – and at the same time, unfortunately – yes.

—Quais deveriam ser os critérios considerados pelo cliente na escolha de um fotógrafo?

—- the pictures and their style
- the personality of the photographer (to meet in person in advance is paramount!)
- flexibility
- finally, the price/performance

—O que não é permitido de todo ao fotografar?

—I have not yet encountered a situation like this – perhaps I am lucky? :)

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

—In this line of work we often have to look ahead in certain situations, we need to notice an important moment before it actually happens. Coherent events, the outburst or even withholding of emotions, a look – overall multiple facets that merge into one single scene.

—Como aprende a tirar fotos melhores?

—Talk with colleagues, putting up new experiences.

—O que pretende transmitir com as suas fotos?

—Share moments, emotions, and – if it doesn't concern weddings,- depict my own emotions and gorgeous landscapes

—O que o motiva a continuar a fotografar?

—I'd like to visit as many places as possible, create extraordinary material to still my hunger for perfection

—Se pudesse regredir no tempo, o que faria de diferente?

—I do not regret anything...

—Quando é que fica completamente satisfeito com o seu trabalho?

—When I see that an album receives a bright smile even at the second viewing.
Non-wedding relatedly: a direct second order, an honest compliment.

—Faz amigos com facilidade?

—I'm an instant blender :)

—Onde gostaria de viver?

—Near the sea

—Existe vida depois do casamento?

—I have not tried it yet ;)

—Gosta de cães e gatos?

—Dogs are not just with you out of interest, I respect and love them more, but I am ok with cats too.

—Caso os alienígenas viessem para a Terra, e fosse a primeira pessoa a encontrá-los, o que lhes diria?

—Hi, would you like to grab a beer? :D

—Amanhã eu vou fazer...

—...nothing, just sleep long and deep for a change:)
