Fotograf Edwin Sanchez

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

—I consider myself amongst the best wedding photographers in San Pedro Sula

—Fotogenični ste?

—I try to be. hahaha

—Kako ste ušli u svet fotografije?

—I was freelance graphic designer and always had an interest in photography. My work led me to eventually pick up a DSLR and it totally changed my life. I studied at NYIP and learned many basic skills in all types of photography. Shooting my first wedding for a close friend I realized that in wedding photography you have to use all of those skills (product photography, photojournalism, portraiture, posing, directing, fashion photography). I have been hooked since then.

—Šta smatrate da su ključni elementi dobre fotografije?

—Lighting and composition are, in my opinion, the two most important factors in all photography. They are not the only ones, however, there is also posing, timing, anticipating, and creating a real connection with the couple will also translate into great images.

—Volite putovanja?

—I love traveling! From getting there, be it by sea, land or air, to actually getting to know new places, cities, cultures, people. My family and I enjoy traveling and it's one of our top common passions.

—Šta najviše volite u vezi sa svojim zanimanjem?

—Being creative! Creating amazing images for my couples and seeing their reactions when we deliver them. It's an absolute joy to be able to light, compose, direct and capture and image that brings joy to my couples and myself.

—Šta najmanje volite u vezi sa svojim zanimanjem?

—It's hard for me point it out. Maybe alway wanting new photography gear. hehe

—Kakva će biti budućnost fotografije?

—Couples will start to be more conscious about The Experience that they'll enjoy with the photographer they choose for their wedding. Final images will still be most important but the bond that forms between them and their photographer will certainly take a prominent role.

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

—The connection that builds between the photographer and the couple and their family. If that connection is there the images will definitely show it.

—Kako podnosite kritiku?

—I believe everyone is allowed their own opinion

—Da li u fotografiji postoje trendovi?

—Sure there are, at the time of writing this Dark and Moody edits and elopements are all the rage . Couples have to be careful to choose something that they really love and that they will enjoy 5, 10, 20 years from now and not just something that is trendy at this moment.

—Šta treba da budu kriterijumi kada klijent bira fotografa?

—First they have to love the work their photographer makes. And second they have to feel that connection, that "click". The better the relationship with their photographer the better their images will turn out.

—Šta treba izbegavati kod snimanja?

—Missing the moment! A photographer must be ready and alert to capture the most important moments in a wedding cause they will not happen again.

—Koje najčešće neprimetne detalje primećuje fotograf?

—The beauty that hides in the details.

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

—Lighting, composition, posing, edit, etc.. are all technical terms. But it is how you use them together to create an image that brings back feelings, emotions that truly holds a photo's value.

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

—Barack Obama. Not for being a great president but by being a great example and role model of what Human should be. Passionate, Compassionate, Driven and given to his fellow man.

—I worry about the planet. As a species we are definitely not taking such good care of Mother Earth.

—Koji trenutak u vašem životu je bio najupečatljiviji?

—The day of my wedding to my beautiful wife. I don't consider myself as special in the "VIP" kinda sense. But getting married in the Vatican by a Cardinal definitely made me feel like a child of God.

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

—I think I consider myself a Chandler from FRIENDS. Kind of a goofball but very creative, good at my job and deeply in love with my family and friends.

—Ko vam je životna inspiracija i zašto?

—My mom and my wife inspire me. My mom because she fought hard to raise 4 children on her own and give them the best education that she could. And my wife because she has motivated me to become better in all aspects of my life.
