Fotograf Dan Fedez

—Pre svega, koga biste naveli kao najboljeg fotografa u svom gradu? :)

—There are some really good photographers here, each one with it's own style.

—Fotogenični ste?

—I usually look better on the othe side of the camera haha

—Kako ste ušli u svet fotografije?

—Had the opportunity to work with a company that does lifestyle photography, after a year I jumped to wedding photography with them and 1 year later I decided to work by myself.

—Šta smatrate da su ključni elementi dobre fotografije?

—Good lightning, being able to control the light is key.

—Volite putovanja?

—Of course, who doesn't! That's actually what approached me to photography! You will see a lot of traveling photos as well on my social media.

—Šta najviše volite u vezi sa svojim zanimanjem?

—For the wedding couple there's always the doubt of how are the photos going to be, but looking at their reaction and excitement once they see them it's one of things to feel thankful for.

—Šta najmanje volite u vezi sa svojim zanimanjem?

—Bridezillas haha or sometimes the maid of honor. I know, I know; they want everything to be perfect on the big day, but hey, you have to trust me on this one, let the art behind the lenses flow!

—Kakva će biti budućnost fotografije?

—Hopefully better and better photographs, there's a little bit of doubt about photography and the upcoming technology, but I think the artsy element it's always going to be human, no matter what.

—Šta je posebno kod vrste fotografije koja je vaša specijalnost?

—It's more intimate, you get to know real people and as a photographer you have to become one with the wedding itself. Achieve that connection with groom and bride and also the guests.

—Kako podnosite kritiku?

—Photography as an art has been always very subjective, but there's something no one can deny; a good photo is a good photo! Even if you can't explain it. Also in photography you never stop learning, so I don't take criticism too serious, just take the best part of it and forget the rest!

—Da li u fotografiji postoje trendovi?

—Yes, the same as any other style of photography or even art; there's always gonna be tendencies, some may follow them, some may not and some may create them.

—Šta treba da budu kriterijumi kada klijent bira fotografa?

—Read the bio, see their pictures and see if you really feel identified with that specific photographer, remember; is the best day of your life!

—Šta treba izbegavati kod snimanja?

—Not to be open to suggestions, I've seen a lot of photographers mounted on their egos, shooting their own style not paying attention to what the couple wants! Big mistake!

—Koje najčešće neprimetne detalje primećuje fotograf?

—It's hard to be in different places at the time, it's always good to count on a second camera to get that little details that can be missed for a bit of a sec while doing the "important shot".

—Šta utiče na vrednost fotografije? Šta su njeni elementi?

—Laughs, reactions, true feelings, a good photographer is able to capture the essence of the moment!

—Za koju ličnost smatrate da bi mogla da bude simbol 21. veka?

—We live in an era of super individualism, anyone doing a little bit something for the goodness of everyone is a symbol!

—Koga biste želeli da fotografišete?

—Any couple in the search of genuine photographs, that ones that comes easy for everyone as there's a connection between couple and photographer.

—Da li za vas u poslu postoji nešto zabranjeno?

—Photoshop. To make a photograph look the way it is "supposed to be" instead of showing the real thing!

—Sa kim biste želeli da sarađujete?

—I think Jim Carrey is one of the most interesting persons in the world, for me he sees life through different eyes than the average person.

—Šta vas brine i zašto?

—Sometimes technology can play tricks on you or even betray you, but as long as you are well prepared, there's nothing to worry about.

—Koji trenutak u vašem životu je bio najupečatljiviji?

—The present! I've always been to "easy going" to worry about the past, or future, just try to relax and enjoy the moment!

—Koji lik iz crtaća, knjige ili filma biste bili i zašto?

—Probably a captain of sci-fi movie, imagine to see all the stars and constellations and galaxies through that perspective.

—Ko vam je životna inspiracija i zašto?

—Michael O'neill is one of my favorite photographers, he have had such amazing opportunities to shot super interesting people like Orson Welles, Steve Jobs, Scorsese and many Master Yoguis.

—Šta za vas znači uspeh? Kako ga merite?

—Success is achieve your purpose, one step at a time. That your couples likes and thank for your work, that's how you know you've made it correctly!

—Da li biste pre bili voljeni ili poštovani?

—It's easy to get liked, but not that easy to get respected. So to achieve that is the measure of it.

—Kako se edukujete da biste bolje fotografisali?

—Getting inspired by other photographer's work and some self-criticism.

—Šta biste voleli da ste znali kad ste tek postali fotograf?

—How to pay taxes! Hahaha isn't this one of the things that they never teach in school and are so necessary for the adult life?

—Da li mislite da su vaši roditelji bili premalo ili previše strogi?

—As kids we never truly understand why our parents do the things they do. And then one day the phrase "you will understand when you are older" makes sense.

—Da možete da se vratite u prošlost, šta biste uradili drugačije?

—Probably being more risky in certain moments of my life but I'm pretty happy and thankful for where life has get me to.

—Šta mislite o životu na drugim planetama?

—Šta je najgluplja stvar u životu koju ste pristali da uradite?
