Photographer Gergely Vas

—Ikaw ba ay photogenic?

—In 99% of the cases I am at the other end of the camera, so it's hard to say :)

—Paano ka nagsimula sa industriya ng photography?

—I was the victim of a friend's request, after which I kept being passed around and the circle became wider and wider. I have a colourful personality though, besides wedding photography I like to venture into the more artistic side of my profession.

—Ano ang mga mahahalagang bahagi ng isang magandang larawan sa iyong opinyon?

—The right subject(s), according history and to capture the unique moment.

—Mahilig ka ba maglakbay?

—I do! I think I have a "travel-gene" somewhere in me, I pass by a dozen places throughout the year, be it for work or holiday purpouses.
When it concerns work, it is usually Spain, Malta and Cyprus that are top of the list, but I hope this range will widen further.

—Ano ang pinakagusto mo sa iyong propesyon?

—At weddings, it is to allow the couples to relive their most important, most beautiful memories, getting them into fun situations which they are very gratful for – I like it when they thank me for my work and I can see the confirmation in their eyes that I have performed at least at a 100%.
I also like my clients' positive feedback on my ideas and their adherence towards me

—Ano ang hindi mo gusto sa iyong propesyon?

—That there is sometimes not enough time for a project :(

—Ano ang magiging kinabukasan ng photography?

—Uniqueness, creativity, motivation

—Ano ang espesyal sa kategorya ng photography kung saan ka dalubhasa?

—A fantastic location (which is given at many a mediterranean country), the couples' personal attitude/style and lots&lots of creative ideas!

—Paano ka tumatanggap ng pagpuna?

—Pretty well! If it's constructive criticism and useful when thought through, then I will definitely integrate it into my daily work.

—Mayroon bang mga trend ang photography?

—Thankfully – and at the same time, unfortunately – yes.

—Ano ang dapat na pamantayan ng isang customer sa pagpili ng photographer?

—- the pictures and their style
- the personality of the photographer (to meet in person in advance is paramount!)
- flexibility
- finally, the price/performance

—Ano ang mga bagay na dapat iwasan kapag kumukuha ng larawan?

—I have not yet encountered a situation like this – perhaps I am lucky? :)

—Ano ang mga detalye na kadalasan ay hindi napapansin na napapansin ng photographer?

—In this line of work we often have to look ahead in certain situations, we need to notice an important moment before it actually happens. Coherent events, the outburst or even withholding of emotions, a look – overall multiple facets that merge into one single scene.

—Paano mo tinuturuan ang sarili mo na kumuha ng mas magagandang mga larawan?

—Talk with colleagues, putting up new experiences.

—Ano ang nais mong sabihin sa iyong mga larawan?

—Share moments, emotions, and – if it doesn't concern weddings,- depict my own emotions and gorgeous landscapes

—Ano ang nag-uudyok sa iyo na ipagpatuloy ang pagkuha ng mga larawan?

—I'd like to visit as many places as possible, create extraordinary material to still my hunger for perfection

—Kung maaari mong balikan ang nakaraan, ano ang babaguhin mo?

—I do not regret anything...

—Kailan ka ganap na nasisiyahan sa iyong trabaho?

—When I see that an album receives a bright smile even at the second viewing.
Non-wedding relatedly: a direct second order, an honest compliment.

—Mabilis ka ba makipagkaibigan?

—I'm an instant blender :)

—Saan mo gustong manirahan?

—Near the sea

—Mayroon bang buhay pagkatapos ng kasal?

—I have not tried it yet ;)

—Mahilig ka ba sa mga aso at pusa?

—Dogs are not just with you out of interest, I respect and love them more, but I am ok with cats too.

—Kung ang mga alien ay pumunta sa Earth at ikaw ang una nilang makikilala, ano ang sasabihin mo sakanila?

—Hi, would you like to grab a beer? :D

—Bukas ako pupunta at gagawa...

—...nothing, just sleep long and deep for a change:)
