攝影師 Hiram Trillo

—您上相嗎？

—Nope...that's why I try to stand behind the camera :)

—您如何開始從事攝影行業？

—I have been in photography for a while, but took the leap to wedding photography after being terribly disappointed with out own wedding imagery.

—您認為一張好照片裡最重要的元素有哪些？

—Emotion! An image without soul and feeling is an empty image.

—您熱愛旅行嗎？

—Yes! I am lucky enough to be able to travel all over the world capturing memories for other.

—您最喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—The range of people I get to meet, and the love displayed across cultures.

—您最不喜歡這個職業的哪個部分？

—Traveling without my family! Now that I am a father it's tough leaving my family for days. But I have an amazing wife that is my rock and cheerleader.

—攝影的前景如何？

—I don't know and that is what I love about it. Having to discover myself and push myself each wedding is an amazing feeling and hope that I keep pushing forward.

—您擅長的攝影類型有什麼特別之處？

—You have one shot! That is it! I love capturing moments as they happen and don't recreate any, so I have one shot.

—您如何應對批評？

—I think well. You have to, no one is perfect and the only way to keep learning and pushing yourself is by listening and paying attention. There will always be "hater" and people that will try to pull you down. Just keep your head up and your client happy.

—攝影有什麼潮流？

—Yes, there are always trends and they change all the time. I try not to follow them because most trends die out. I focus on giving my clients timeless pieces with the next generation in mind. I want their children and grandchildren to cherish the images as much as they do.

—客戶選擇攝影師的標準有哪些？

—You must click! You have to have chemistry. Not every client is your client and when you figure that out you will develop amazing client relationships and long time friends.

—拍攝時應該避免哪些事項？

—It's free game with me, I want to see the crazy side of my clients. That's when i know they trust me completely.

—通常不會被注意，但攝影師卻能留意的細節有哪些呢？
