—Перше і найважливіше - кого ви можете назвати найкращим фотографом у вашому місті? :)

—Anderson Marques, for me a great reference as an artist, photographer and as a person.

—Якими для клієнта повинні бути критерії вибору фотографа?

—Affinity and identification with the photographer's professional and personality.

—Як ви опинилися у галузі фотографії?

—It was very natural, everything was happening slowly. Today I am passionate about photographing couples, participating in the stories and the great moments with the relatives.

—Чи ви фотогенічні?

—No Unfortunately. But who knows with a few months of gym can improve rsrsrsrsrrs

—Якими, на вашу думку, є найголовніші складові гарної фотографії?

—Composition, light and direction. Add to that the impact, attention at decisive moments and an intelligent post-production.

—Чи любите ви подорожувати?

—Very very much. Especially meet new places, cultures and people.

—Що вам більш за все подобається у вашій професії?

—Travel, meet new stories, participate in incredible moments that only the profession allows me today. And finally, know the responsibility and importance that my work can have to perpetuate and influence others!

—Що вам менш за все подобається у вашій професії?

—Being devalued by people who can not see the beauty and seriousness of what we do and why we photograph ..

—Як ви справляєтеся з критикою?

—I always try to learn as much as possible and try to look as if I'm on the other side. In photography, criticism should be part of the life of the professional as a daily exercise. We should always be bothered with something and always on the move looking for ever better things.

—Яким буде майбутнє фотографії?

—Equally important but with better equipment and tools.

—Чого слід уникати при фотозйомці?

—Working lazily, carelessly, miss good times.

—Якими для клієнта повинні бути критерії вибору фотографа?

—1) Do you like the photographer's work? 2) Do you like the photographer? Simple as that.

—Як ви опинилися у галузі фотографії?

—In 2008, I was already doing amateur photography for a couple of year. To do something different for a change, I asked my uncle if I could photograph his wedding. It was his second marriage, they were not asking for a photographer, so there was little risk. I ended up liking it so much, that I decided to do it more.

—Чи ви фотогенічні?

—No! I much rather be behind a camera.

—Якими, на вашу думку, є найголовніші складові гарної фотографії?

—Above all, the photo has to have a certain impact. Wether that's an intense emotion, a good vibe, or just a spectaculair visual impact. After that comes the technical part. So a good lighting, composition, etcetera. But for me, the impact is the most important part, by far.

—Чи любите ви подорожувати?

—Yes, but with moderation though. I'd love to do 3-5 destination weddings a year. I don't think I'd enjoy doing 10, 15 or even more.

—Що вам більш за все подобається у вашій професії?

—It sounds like a horrible cliché, but it's true: Every wedding is different. You never really know what's going to happen. Surprises can happen at every moment. Besides that, I think it's a great honor to be asked to create lifelong memories for the people that are getting married. 5, 10, 25 or even 50 years after they get married, people still remember who took their wedding photos. It's pretty wonderful that you can be an important part in people's lives.

—Що вам менш за все подобається у вашій професії?

—Basically: The postprocessing. I have a horrible concentration when it comes to editing. I love editing my 50-75 favorites from a wedding, but after that, it gets hard for me to keep focused.

—Як ви справляєтеся з критикою?

—I try to extract what people really mean with their comments. Some people have difficulties in finding the right words to give feedback, sometimes making them sound rude. But I always try to figure out what's the real message there.

—Чого слід уникати при фотозйомці?

—'Allowed' is a big word. I'm not the one to say what's allowed or not. However, I don't like to unnecessarily intervene in a wedding. With the exception of the posed shots, I don't like having to tell people what to do, where to stand or how to look.

—Яким буде майбутнє фотографії?

—I think the future of wedding photography will be a further evolution of the direction it's going in right now. More journalistic stuff, more moments. But besides that: technical advances. Faster camera's, better low light capabilities, and other accessories like drones, light field cameras, and stuff like that, giving photographers even more tools to being creative.

—Що робить жанр фотографії, в якому ви знімаєте, особливим?

—I love many aspects of it. I love the fact that people are in a good mood, they take the time to look good as well. People get married in beautiful venues, and you as a photographer gets to be a part of so many people's special day. That's amazing.

—Чиї роботи найбільше вплинули на вас, як на фотографа?

—Susan Stripling.

—Як ви опинилися у галузі фотографії?

—In 2004 I got a digital camera for Christmas, back when digital cameras weren't attached to every device. I was facinated with how you could freeze time, and then view the past later. I couldn't set it down. A few years later I shot my first wedding, fell in love with it and 10 years later have shot over 200.

—Чи ви фотогенічні?

—Sometimes... If I've gotten enough sleep and have a glass of wine or two

—Якими, на вашу думку, є найголовніші складові гарної фотографії?

—A moment. For sure. If it doesn't have this it's not worth remembering. After that, certainly lighting and composition go a long way.

—Чи любите ви подорожувати?

—Absolutely. We have traveled all over the world taking photos!

—Що вам більш за все подобається у вашій професії?

—I love that every weekend I get to be a huge part of someone's "most important day of their life."

—Що вам менш за все подобається у вашій професії?

—Crazy church ladies that force me to shoot from 100 feet away in the balcony during the ceremony.

—Як ви справляєтеся з критикою?

—I love it. As long as it is constructive it is one of the biggest gifts you can give to me.

—Яким буде майбутнє фотографії?

—More and more instant gratification. A one month turn around average for a wedding will turn into a day.

—Про що ви хвилюєтесь і чому?

—I've found that the energy I've wasted in the past on worrying about things was better spent on just doing what I was supposed anyway. No regrets. No fear.

—Що робить жанр фотографії, в якому ви знімаєте, особливим?

—The father of the bride that has never cried in public before. The look on the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time. The uncle that doesn't normally drink is dancing up a storm on the dance floor.
