Fotograf Franklin Balzan

—Ste fotogenický?

—I wouldn't say so. I am usually the one behind the camera and do not enjoy being seen to much.

—Ako ste sa dostali do fotografického priemyslu?

—It was a natural evolution... I love street photography, fashion and portrait and therefore love shooting wedding photography in my artsy-journalistic style.

—Aké sú podľa vás najdôležitejšie súčasti dobrej fotografie?

—Especially for wedding photography, certainly the photo must convey emotion and have a story to tell. Apart from these two aspects then, there are also the technical aspects such as lighting and composition.

—Máte radi cestovanie?

—Ohh yes :)

—Čo máte najradšej na vašej profesii?

—Moving from place to place, meeting new people and creating art.

—Čo sa vám páči najmenej na vašej profesii?

—The headache of possibly not being able to make it to the wedding due to some illness or something.

—Aká bude budúcnosť fotenia?

—Mirrorless cameras are already with us – their technology has already catched with their heavier DSLR counterparts.

—Čo je výnimočné na žánri fotografií, na ktorý sa špecializujete?

—Emotions and the once in a lifetime event, which everyone has been preparing so much to.

—Ako zvládate kritiku?

—Positively, as it helps me improve. Infact it helps me see things which otherwise I would not have noted.

—Sú nejaké trendy v oblasti fotografie?

—It seems most photographers are moving towards a journalistic fastpaced style.

—Aké by mal mať zákazník kritérium pri výbere fotografa?

—The artistic style of the photo – colour, tone, framing.

—Čomu sa určite vyhnúť pri práci?

—Relaxing! One must keep concentrated till the last seconds of a wedding.

—Aké detaily, ktoré zvyčajne prejdú bez povšimnutia, si môže fotograf všimnúť?

—Geometries, reflections, frames.

—S kým by ste chceli fotografovať?

—Roberto Valenzuela and Livio Lacurre certainly.
