Fotograf Hitesh Patel

—Po prvé a predovšetkým - koho môžete vymenovať ako najlepšieho fotografa vo vašom meste? :)

—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?

—Ste fotogenický?

—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 :)

—Ako ste sa dostali do fotografického priemyslu?

—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.

—Aké sú podľa vás najdôležitejšie súčasti dobrej fotografie?

—Good lighting

—Máte radi cestovanie?

—Yes of course.

—Čo máte najradšej na vašej profesii?

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

—Čo sa vám páči najmenej na vašej profesii?

—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.

—Aká bude budúcnosť fotenia?

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

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

—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.

—Ako zvládate kritiku?

—It only makes me better.

—Sú nejaké trendy v oblasti fotografie?

—Not that I have come across yet

—Aké by mal mať zákazník kritérium pri výbere fotografa?

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

—Čomu sa určite vyhnúť pri práci?

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

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

—Invitation cards, wedding gifts, wedding decor.

—Čo ovplyvňuje hodnotu fotografie? Aké sú jej prvky?

—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.

—Koho chcete fotografovať?

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

—Máte nejaké profesionálne tabu?

—No

—S kým by ste chceli fotografovať?

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

—Čoho sa obávate a prečo?

—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.

—Aký bol váš najpôsobivejší okamih v živote?

—The day my son was born.

—Ak by ste boli animovaná, literárna alebo filmová postava, kto by ste boli a prečo?

—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.

—Kto vás vo vašom živote inšpiruje a prečo?

—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.

—Ako definujete úspech? Ako ho meriate?

—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.

—Boli by ste radšej obľúbení alebo rešpektovaní?

—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.

—Keď cestujete, čo si so sebou beriete a prečo?

—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.
