Фотограф Hitesh Patel

—Самый волнующий нас вопрос – кто лучший фотограф в вашем городе? :)

—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?

—Вы фотогеничны?

—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 :)

—Как вы попали в индустрию фотографии?

—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.

—Как вы считаете, какие самые важные составляющие хорошей фотографии?

—Good lighting

—Любите путешествовать?

—Yes of course.

—Что в вашей профессии вам нравится больше всего?

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

—Что в вашей профессии вам нравится меньше всего?

—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.

—Каким вы видите будущее фотографии?

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

—Что делает жанр фотографии, в котором вы снимаете, особенным?

—You get everything into one genre. Wedding have wide landscape shots, detail shots, portrait shots, close up (headshots), involved. Other genres are strictly one pointed.

—Как вы относитесь к критике?

—It only makes me better.

—Есть ли в фотографии своя мода?

—Not that I have come across yet

—По каким критериям клиенты должны выбирать своего фотографа?

—How they capture the day and is it what you want your images to look like.

—Чего нельзя допускать при съемке?

—not knowing how to properly take photos, you only have one chance to make it right, the wedding is not gonna happen again.

—Что обычные люди упускают из виду, в то время как фотограф может увидеть?

—Invitation cards, wedding gifts, wedding decor.

—Что влияет на ценность фотографии? Из чего она складывается?

—Memories of your day, memories of your love one enjoying your wedding day, memories of the little ones running around having a blast, memories of mom and dad crying, memories of the groom reaction when he sees you for the first time.

—Кого бы вы хотели поснимать?

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

—Есть ли у вас какие-то табу в работе?

—No

—С кем вы хотели бы поснимать?

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

—О чем вы беспокоитесь и почему?

—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.

—Расскажите о самом сильном впечатлении в своей жизни.

—The day my son was born.

—Каким персонажем из мультфильма, книги или кино вы были бы и почему?

—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.

—Кто вдохновляет вас и почему?

—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.

—Как вы определяете успех? Можно ли его измерить?

—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.

—Что для вас важнее: любовь окружающих или уважение?

—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.

—Что вы берете с собой в путешествие и почему?

—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.
