Fotograf Hiram Trillo

—Sunteți fotogenic?

—Nope...that's why I try to stand behind the camera :)

—Cum ați ajuns în industria fotografiei?

—I have been in photography for a while, but took the leap to wedding photography after being terribly disappointed with out own wedding imagery.

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

—Emotion! An image without soul and feeling is an empty image.

—Vă place să călătoriți?

—Yes! I am lucky enough to be able to travel all over the world capturing memories for other.

—Ce vă place cel mai mult la profesia dvs?

—The range of people I get to meet, and the love displayed across cultures.

—Ce vă place cel mai puțin la profesia dvs?

—Traveling without my family! Now that I am a father it's tough leaving my family for days. But I have an amazing wife that is my rock and cheerleader.

—Care va fi viitorul fotografiei?

—I don't know and that is what I love about it. Having to discover myself and push myself each wedding is an amazing feeling and hope that I keep pushing forward.

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

—You have one shot! That is it! I love capturing moments as they happen and don't recreate any, so I have one shot.

—Cum răspundeți criticilor?

—I think well. You have to, no one is perfect and the only way to keep learning and pushing yourself is by listening and paying attention. There will always be "hater" and people that will try to pull you down. Just keep your head up and your client happy.

—Există tendințe în fotografia?

—Yes, there are always trends and they change all the time. I try not to follow them because most trends die out. I focus on giving my clients timeless pieces with the next generation in mind. I want their children and grandchildren to cherish the images as much as they do.

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

—You must click! You have to have chemistry. Not every client is your client and when you figure that out you will develop amazing client relationships and long time friends.

—Ce lucruri sunt complet nepermise când fotografiați?

—It's free game with me, I want to see the crazy side of my clients. That's when i know they trust me completely.

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

—That's a tough one. I have seen many things in my career so far but try to document everything. The behind the scenes before the bride and groom step up to the altar are some of my favorite moments

—Ce influențează valoarea fotografiei? Care sunt elementele ei?

—To me is emotion! Like I mentioned before an images must have feeling and soul.

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

—Cine vă inspiră în viață și de ce?

—My wife and kids. They are the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing before i go to sleep. They keep me on my toes!

—Cum definiți succesul? Cum îl măsurați?

—If you are happy and can keep your head up you are successful. Seeing my kids grow up and having my family be proud of not only who I am but who they are as people.

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

—Respected. I rather have someone dislike me because I was honest with them, than being liked because I wasn't.

—Care este cea mai mare greșeală pe care ați făcut-o în profesia dvs?

—I accidentally formatted a full card thinking it was an old cart. Realized it in time and just put it away and recovered about 98% of images...phew!

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

—Camera, favorite lenses, speed lights, and the stuffed animal my kids send with me. A flash will always be with me because you never know when you need to create your own light.

—Not a thing. Every decision I made has brought me to where I am. I would not take a chance of changing anything.

—Ce credeți despre viața pe alte planete?

—I hope there is. It would be selfish of us to think we are the only planet with life. That is just lonely!
