Fotograf Edwin Sanchez

—În primul rând, pe cine puteți numi cel mai bun fotograf în San Pedro Sula, Honduras? :)

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

—Sunteți fotogenic?

—I try to be. hahaha

—Cum ați ajuns în industria fotografiei?

—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.

—Care sunt cele mai importante componente ale unei fotografii bune, după părerea dvs?

—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.

—Vă place să călătoriți?

—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.

—Ce vă place cel mai mult la profesia dvs?

—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.

—Ce vă place cel mai puțin la profesia dvs?

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

—Care va fi viitorul fotografiei?

—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.

—Ce este special la genul de fotografie în care sunteți specializat?

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

—Cum răspundeți criticilor?

—I believe everyone is allowed their own opinion

—Există tendințe în fotografia?

—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.

—Care ar trebui să fie criteriile după care un client să aleagă un fotograf?

—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.

—Ce lucruri sunt complet nepermise când fotografiați?

—Missing the moment! A photographer must be ready and alert to capture the most important moments in a wedding cause they will not happen again.

—Ce detalii de obicei neobservate de alții pot fi observate de un fotograf?

—The beauty that hides in the details.

—Ce influențează valoarea fotografiei? Care sunt elementele ei?

—Lighting, composition, posing, edit, etc.. are all technical terms. But it is how you use them together to create an image that brings back feelings, emotions that truly holds a photo's value.

—Ce persoană poate fi simbolul secolului XXI după părerea dvs?

—Barack Obama. Not for being a great president but by being a great example and role model of what Human should be. Passionate, Compassionate, Driven and given to his fellow man.

—Care este cel mai impresionant moment din viața dvs?

—The day of my wedding to my beautiful wife. I don't consider myself as special in the "VIP" kinda sense. But getting married in the Vatican by a Cardinal definitely made me feel like a child of God.

—Dacă ați fi fost un personaj de desen animat, de carte sau de film, cine v-ar fi plăcut să fiți?

—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.

—Cine vă inspiră în viață și de ce?

—My mom and my wife inspire me. My mom because she fought hard to raise 4 children on her own and give them the best education that she could. And my wife because she has motivated me to become better in all aspects of my life.
