攝影師 Hitesh Patel

—首先─您認為誰是達洛尼加, 美國最優秀的攝影師呢？ :)

—To be honest, noboby is the best. It depends on what the photographer sees and captures. Everyone has different vision including the clients, so the question is does my photos see your vision?

—您上相嗎？

—Being a photographer myself, I hate taking my own pictures. Thus, it's rare that I have shots of myself, I just do not look good :)

—您如何開始從事攝影行業？

—When my son was born, all I wanted to do was take some nice shots. That turned into a passion slowly, and today I am proud of how much I grew as a photographer. From taking photos on a mobile device to professional gear.

—您認為一張好照片裡最重要的元素有哪些？

—Good lighting

—您熱愛旅行嗎？

—Yes of course.

—您最喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—Creating something amazing. Creating great composition. Creating images that makes my client say "WoW".

—您最不喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—Nope, honestly I enjoy everything about it. That's why I don't get bored. If you did not enjoy this you wouldn't last too long.

—攝影的前景如何？

—I really hope it doesn't change. Weddings are done based on religion and history, and I don't want to loose our history.

—您擅長的攝影類型有什麼特別之處？

—You get everything into one genre. Wedding have wide landscape shots, detail shots, portrait shots, close up (headshots), involved. Other genres are strictly one pointed.

—您如何應對批評？

—It only makes me better.

—攝影有什麼潮流？

—Not that I have come across yet

—客戶選擇攝影師的標準有哪些？

—How they capture the day and is it what you want your images to look like.

—拍攝時應該避免哪些事項？

—not knowing how to properly take photos, you only have one chance to make it right, the wedding is not gonna happen again.

—通常不會被注意，但攝影師卻能留意的細節有哪些呢？

—Invitation cards, wedding gifts, wedding decor.

—什麼事物會影響照片的價值？它包含了哪些因素？

—Memories of your day, memories of your love one enjoying your wedding day, memories of the little ones running around having a blast, memories of mom and dad crying, memories of the groom reaction when he sees you for the first time.

—您想拍誰？

—I love shooting, it doesn't matter to me who is next to me.

—您有任何職業禁忌嗎？

—No

—您想和誰一起拍攝？

—Again it doesn't matter to me, since I love shooting.

—您會擔心什麼？為什麼？

—Couples who are not into the photos aspect of the day. I know some couple hate posing and thus the reason why they don't get into the photos as much as I would like them to be. However, posing is not always required to take great images.

—您人生中印象最深刻的一刻是什麼？

—The day my son was born.

—如果您是個卡通、小說或電影角色，您想成為誰？為什麼？

—Haha, I think the best answer would be Iron Man. One of my favorite cartoon/comic character simply because he's into alot of tech stuff.

—誰能在生命中激發您的靈感？為什麼？

—My son, he's has very little knowledge and doesn't know alot, but it's for him, I am here working for. I want him to have a better life then what I had.

—您如何定義成功？您會怎麼衡量它？

—Success to me is when I can spend more time with my family without worry about money. One way to measure it is by how many days in a week you spend with your family and how many days you spend working.

—您是希望被喜愛或是被景仰呢？

—I rather be liked then respected. Respect means that you can not be down to earth with me, and can not be your self. Liked your more open to me. I rather have people more open to me instead of being respected.

—當您要去旅行時，您會帶什麼？為什麼？

—Everything, it's better to be well prepared then unpreapred. I take almost everything with me, because I do not know what I will run into.
