Fotógrafo Siemenjov Galdes

—Você é fotogénica(o)?

—Only when I am not trying to be :)

—Como se iniciou na indústria da fotografia?

—By pure coincidence and being in the right place at the right time. My first wedding was in 2012 and the rest as they say is history.

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

—Some old school photographers would say technique, composition, verticles etc. I think all the mentioned techniques are important however the moment and the framing for me are key.

—Gosta de viajar?

—I can't get enough of it ;)

—O que mais gosta na sua profissão?

—Travelling, meeting new people and being able to tell a story through pictures.

—O que menos gosta na sua profissão?

—To be honest I never thought much about this. In all fairness I can't think of anything else except the long hours.

—Qual será o futuro da fotografia?

—Wedding photography is increasingly becoming more expressive and photographers around the world have pushed the bounderies and the art to scary new heights. I cannot say, though I am really curious to find out.

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

—Emotions! Not all weddings have it, but the ones who do, make it special beyond words.

—Como lida com as críticas?

—There is always something new to learn and good solid constructive criticism helps us become better and challange our routines. I am always eager to get feedback and I hope I can keep improving upon it.

—Existem tendências na fotografia?

—ohhh yes! I think you see changing trends mostly depending on the country and continent.

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

—I can answer this because I myself was a groom not long ago. I looked for a photographer who cares, someone who knows documentary photography and someone that is not afraid to get the best out of us on the wedding day. We actually enjoyed our day more thanks to the photographer we chose! I knew exactly what he would deliver before I even booked him.

—O que não é permitido de todo ao fotografar?

—Forget your phone, e-mails, messages and all distractions. Most importantly avoid going un-prepared.
