Фотограф Dan Fedez

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

—There are some really good photographers here, each one with it's own style.

—Чи ви фотогенічні?

—I usually look better on the othe side of the camera haha

—Як ви опинилися у галузі фотографії?

—Had the opportunity to work with a company that does lifestyle photography, after a year I jumped to wedding photography with them and 1 year later I decided to work by myself.

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

—Good lightning, being able to control the light is key.

—Чи любите ви подорожувати?

—Of course, who doesn't! That's actually what approached me to photography! You will see a lot of traveling photos as well on my social media.

—Що вам більш за все подобається у вашій професії?

—For the wedding couple there's always the doubt of how are the photos going to be, but looking at their reaction and excitement once they see them it's one of things to feel thankful for.

—Що вам менш за все подобається у вашій професії?

—Bridezillas haha or sometimes the maid of honor. I know, I know; they want everything to be perfect on the big day, but hey, you have to trust me on this one, let the art behind the lenses flow!

—Яким буде майбутнє фотографії?

—Hopefully better and better photographs, there's a little bit of doubt about photography and the upcoming technology, but I think the artsy element it's always going to be human, no matter what.

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

—It's more intimate, you get to know real people and as a photographer you have to become one with the wedding itself. Achieve that connection with groom and bride and also the guests.

—Як ви справляєтеся з критикою?

—Photography as an art has been always very subjective, but there's something no one can deny; a good photo is a good photo! Even if you can't explain it. Also in photography you never stop learning, so I don't take criticism too serious, just take the best part of it and forget the rest!

—Чи є якісь тренди у фотографії?

—Yes, the same as any other style of photography or even art; there's always gonna be tendencies, some may follow them, some may not and some may create them.

—Якими для клієнта повинні бути критерії вибору фотографа?

—Read the bio, see their pictures and see if you really feel identified with that specific photographer, remember; is the best day of your life!

—Чого слід уникати при фотозйомці?

—Not to be open to suggestions, I've seen a lot of photographers mounted on their egos, shooting their own style not paying attention to what the couple wants! Big mistake!

—Які деталі, що, зазвичай, проходять непоміченими, може «зловити» фотограф?

—It's hard to be in different places at the time, it's always good to count on a second camera to get that little details that can be missed for a bit of a sec while doing the "important shot".

—Що впливає на цінність фотографії? Якими є елементи цього?

—Laughs, reactions, true feelings, a good photographer is able to capture the essence of the moment!

—Яка людина, на вашу думку, може бути символом 21-го століття?

—We live in an era of super individualism, anyone doing a little bit something for the goodness of everyone is a symbol!

—Кого ви бажаєте сфотографувати?

—Any couple in the search of genuine photographs, that ones that comes easy for everyone as there's a connection between couple and photographer.

—Чи маєте ви якісь професійні табу?

—Photoshop. To make a photograph look the way it is "supposed to be" instead of showing the real thing!

—З ким ви хотіли б пофотографувати?

—I think Jim Carrey is one of the most interesting persons in the world, for me he sees life through different eyes than the average person.

—Про що ви хвилюєтесь і чому?

—Sometimes technology can play tricks on you or even betray you, but as long as you are well prepared, there's nothing to worry about.

—Який момент є найбільш вражаючим у вашому житті?

—The present! I've always been to "easy going" to worry about the past, or future, just try to relax and enjoy the moment!

—Якщо ви були б персонажем мультика, книги або фільму, ким саме ви були б і чому?

—Probably a captain of sci-fi movie, imagine to see all the stars and constellations and galaxies through that perspective.

—Хто надихає вас у вашому житті і чому?

—Michael O'neill is one of my favorite photographers, he have had such amazing opportunities to shot super interesting people like Orson Welles, Steve Jobs, Scorsese and many Master Yoguis.

—Як ви визначаєте успіх? Як ви його вимірюєте?

—Success is achieve your purpose, one step at a time. That your couples likes and thank for your work, that's how you know you've made it correctly!

—Ви надали б перевагу тому, щоб вас любили чи все-таки поважали?

—It's easy to get liked, but not that easy to get respected. So to achieve that is the measure of it.

—Чи вашим батькам варто було б бути більш чи менш суворими?

—As kids we never truly understand why our parents do the things they do. And then one day the phrase "you will understand when you are older" makes sense.

—Якщо ви могли б повернутися назад у часі, що б ви зробили інакше?

—Probably being more risky in certain moments of my life but I'm pretty happy and thankful for where life has get me to.

—А як щодо життя на інших планетах?
