Фотограф Hitesh Patel

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

—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?

—Чи ви фотогенічні?

—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 :)

—Як ви опинилися у галузі фотографії?

—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.

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

—Good lighting

—Чи любите ви подорожувати?

—Yes of course.

—Що вам більш за все подобається у вашій професії?

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

—Що вам менш за все подобається у вашій професії?

—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.

—Яким буде майбутнє фотографії?

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

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

—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.

—Як ви справляєтеся з критикою?

—It only makes me better.

—Чи є якісь тренди у фотографії?

—Not that I have come across yet

—Якими для клієнта повинні бути критерії вибору фотографа?

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

—Чого слід уникати при фотозйомці?

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

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

—Invitation cards, wedding gifts, wedding decor.

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

—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.

—Кого ви бажаєте сфотографувати?

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

—Чи маєте ви якісь професійні табу?

—No

—З ким ви хотіли б пофотографувати?

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

—Про що ви хвилюєтесь і чому?

—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.

—Який момент є найбільш вражаючим у вашому житті?

—The day my son was born.

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

—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.

—Хто надихає вас у вашому житті і чому?

—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.

—Як ви визначаєте успіх? Як ви його вимірюєте?

—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.

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

—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.

—Коли ви збираєтесь у подорож, що ви берете з собою і чому?

—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.
