Fotograf Alin Panaite

—Kako ste ušli u svet fotografije?

—After working for some time in fashion photography and in the studio, the step to wedding photography was very natural. I've always enjoyed working with people, and being together with them on a special day gives what I need for capturing great shots.

—Šta smatrate da su ključni elementi dobre fotografije?

—Light, composition, but especially feeling. A good photo has to make you laugh, to make you cry, to make you shiver, even hate it...but it can not leave you without reaction.

—Volite putovanja?

—yesss!

—Šta najviše volite u vezi sa svojim zanimanjem?

—You meet great people, you learn many things from them, you can watch them smile or cry when you show them the photos you've made.

—Šta najmanje volite u vezi sa svojim zanimanjem?

—The price of cameras :)))

—Kakva će biti budućnost fotografije?

—A bright one. The competition is going to be even higher, and competition means progress. In order to stay ahead, you have to constantly learn and reinvent yourself.

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

—The unique nature of the moment. A mixture of happiness, stress, laughing and tears.

—Kako podnosite kritiku?

—Very well. If it's well argummented, you can learn o lot from criticism.

—Da li u fotografiji postoje trendovi?

—Ko vam je životna inspiracija i zašto?

—Success is doing something you love and the people around you can see that.

—Da li biste pre bili voljeni ili poštovani?

—Respected.

—Šta je najveća greška koju ste do sada napravili u poslu?

—That life is beautiful, that you can find beauty everywhere around you. There are a million reasons to enjoy life and photography can show at least a part of these.

—Šta vas motiviše da se i dalje bavite fotografijom?

—There are still so many things that I can show, as I said , there are a million reasons to enjoy life and you can never say that you've captured them all in your photos.
