Фотограф Hiram Trillo

—Вы фотогеничны?

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

—Как вы попали в индустрию фотографии?

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

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

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

—Любите путешествовать?

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

—Что в вашей профессии вам нравится больше всего?

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

—Что в вашей профессии вам нравится меньше всего?

—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.

—Каким вы видите будущее фотографии?

—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.

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

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

—Как вы относитесь к критике?

—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.

—Есть ли в фотографии своя мода?

—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.

—По каким критериям клиенты должны выбирать своего фотографа?

—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.

—Чего нельзя допускать при съемке?

—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.

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

—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

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

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

—Кого бы вы назвали символом XXI века?

—I have no idea. There are a ton of inspirational people around the world, selecting only one would be a disgrace.

—Кого бы вы хотели поснимать?

—Everything!

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

—Drugs! It's the only thing that I really don't care to be around.

—С кем вы хотели бы поснимать?

—Robert Capa, James Nachtwey, Annie Leibovitz, Richard Avedon, Arturo Ghergo, Gregory Crewdson...

—О чем вы беспокоитесь и почему?

—Before every wedding I tell myself "You are capturing the most important day of two peoples' lives...don't screw up"

—Расскажите о самом сильном впечатлении в своей жизни.

—The day I got married, followed by the birth of my kids.

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

—Batman! Because I am a comic book geek and Batman has always been one of my favorites.

—Кто вдохновляет вас и почему?

—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!

—Как вы определяете успех? Можно ли его измерить?

—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.

—Что для вас важнее: любовь окружающих или уважение?

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

—Расскажите о своей самой большой ошибке в работе.

—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!

—Что вы берете с собой в путешествие и почему?

—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.

—Есть ли среди вашей техники что-то, чего покупать не следовало бы? Почему вы так считаете?

—At the beginning I had nothing but gadgets and regretted it every time. Now I have only what I need.

—Расскажите о своем самообучении: что вы делаете, чтобы снимать лучше?

—Practice and doing personal projects in different situations.

—Чья работа больше всего повлияла на ваше становление как фотографа?

—Что вы хотите донести до людей с помощью фотографии?

—I want to show my subjects as they are, simple and beautiful.

—Что побуждает вас продолжать заниматься фотографией?

—My clients! They are an incredible source of inspiration.

—Следовало ли вашим родителям быть более (менее) строгими?

—They did an amazing job as parents. I would not change a thing about them.

—Если бы можно было вернуться в прошлое, что бы вы сделали иначе?

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

—Есть ли жизнь на других планетах?

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

—Кто для вас пример для подражания?

—The people that wake up everyday to do what they can to survive day after day. The men and women who do everything possible to make sure their children have a better life and the people that risk their safety for others as cliche as that sounds.

—Кого вы считаете недостойным уважения?

—I am no one to judge. But anyone who disrespects my family or people I care about.

—Nope, any gender can do it as good as the other.

—Легко ли вы заводите друзей?

—I think so.

—Где вы хотели бы жить?

—Not sure. I love traveling, but it's always good to come home to Texas.

—Расскажите о самой большой глупости, которую вы согласились сделать.

—I don't have one :) no regrets.

—Есть ли жизнь после свадьбы?

—Of course! I think a new life begins, and it's amazing.

—У вас есть любимая шутка? Поделитесь с нами!

—I love jokes. Here is a cheesy but have really thought about doing it...-I changed my name on Facebook to "No One" so when I see stupid post I can click like and it will say "No One likes this"

—Вы любите собак? А кошек?

—Dogs. We have two, and I am allergic to cats.

—Что или кого вы очень не любите?

—Hate is a very strong and over used word. I don't hate anyone but don't like ignorant people.
