Fotograf Gio And Amanda Ledda

—Hur började du inom fotografi?

—I've always enjoyed photography as a hobby. When my cousin got engaged, she asked me to shoot her wedding. I had a lot of fun and was happy with the outcome so the rest is history.

—Vilka är enligt dig de viktigaste komponenterna för ett bra fotografi?

—This is very subjective, but for me it's all about the story. A great moment composed in a compelling way will always grab my eye. Bonus points if multiple stories are woven together.

—Vad bör kriterierna vara för en kund som ska välja en fotograf?

—A shared vision. When you view their work you should say to yourself "I want my story captured like this". Find someone who you can trust to tell your story in a way that resonates with you.

—Hur definierar du framgång? Hur mäter du framgång?

—If I'm closer to achieving my objectives than yesterday, all good.

—Hur utbildar du dig själv för att bli en bättre fotograf?

—While I value inspiration from other photographers, nothing beats getting out and shooting. I'm very critical of my own work and constantly trying to best myself.

—Vems arbete har haft störst inflytande över dig som fotograf?

—Gabe McClintock. He captured my wedding (before he became ridiculously famous) and it completely changed the way I viewed photography.

—Tror du att det finns liv på andra planeter?

—Highly probable.

—Vad gör du på fritiden?

—Spend time with my family, enjoy the Albertan wilderness and write music.

—Gillar du hundar eller katter?

—All of the above. I have a dog and two cats.
