Fotograf Hitesh Patel

—În primul rând, pe cine puteți numi cel mai bun fotograf în Dahlonega, Statele Unite? :)

—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?

—Sunteți fotogenic?

—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 :)

—Cum ați ajuns în industria fotografiei?

—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.

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

—Ce vă place cel mai puțin la profesia dvs?

—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.

—Care va fi viitorul fotografiei?

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

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

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

—Aveți tabuuri profesionale?

—No

—Cu cine ați vrea să faceți fotografii?

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

—Ce vă îngrijorează și de ce?

—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.

—Care este cel mai impresionant moment din viața dvs?

—The day my son was born.

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

—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.

—Cine vă inspiră în viață și de ce?

—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.

—Cum definiți succesul? Cum îl măsurați?

—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.

—V-ar plăcea să fiți mai degrabă plăcut sau respectat?

—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.

—Când plecați în călătorie, ce luați cu dvs. și de ce?

—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.
