—Khách hàng nên có tiêu chí nào để lựa chọn nhiếp ảnh gia?

—First of all, it's important that the bride and groom identify themselves with the photographer and his work, the choice should be made by whether they consider he is the one who's worth recording their lifetime memories. Then, they should absolutely watch an entire wedding shot by the one they chose. I like being approached by future weds who know a thing or two about photography and who got their mind set on what they really want.

—Bạn bước chân vào nghề chụp ảnh như thế nào?

—I started taking pictures in 2000 and shooting weddings in 2008. At first, I didn't want to do weddings, I thought it would diminish my work. But I started anyway and found the most challenging environment, I discovered that no matter what type of photography you do, you can always reinvent yourself and find new ways to tell a story. Especially when you meet extraordinary people all the time :)

—Bạn có ăn ảnh không?

—I consider I ain't, but it so happens that on occasion some other photographer catches the good/bright sight of me.

—Theo ý kiến của bạn, những thành phần nào là quan trọng nhất của một bức ảnh đẹp?

—First & foremost, the people involved and their mood (if you're shooting people), then the light (I began ”seeing” the light after years of shooting) and the decisive moment. I don't agree that the quality of a photograph is not important, but it indeed comes in second after the feelings it produces.

—Bạn có yêu thích du lịch không?

—So much that if it would be possible I would be traveling all the time.

—Điều bạn thích nhất trong nghề của mình là gì?

—The diversity – today I'm shooting a wedding, tomorrow a baptism, after tomorrow a concert, then a family portrait, a corporate event or some landscape. It's what keeps me connected all the time.

—Điều bạn không thích nhất trong nghề của mình là gì?

—Having too much to edit.

—Thái độ của bạn trước những lời phê bình như thế nào?

—I'm all in for constructive criticism, don't like destructive one. That's why we're here on My Wed, right? To constantly learn from other photographers and document ourselves about where we are as wedding photographers. I, for one, would like to hear more criticism about my work and where to improve. Here's an idea: you could implement a section where each photographer could post one photo/week for critique :D

—Cần tránh những điều gì khi chụp ảnh?

—Getting in front of the photographer.

—Tương lai của nghề chụp ảnh sẽ như thế nào?

—I think it is constantly evolving and that we'll always see changes for the good. We'll always have trends that come and go, the important thing is to know who you are and do what you really like, not necessarily follow the hype.

—Bạn có chuyên môn đặc biệt về thể loại ảnh nào?

—Oh, everything about it is special. I must admit I suffer when someone refers to it as a banality, thinking that ”real artists” don't do wedding photos. Special is meeting new people, seeing new places or facing new challenges. Besides war photography, I find it the most challenging type, you get to meet all kinds of situations during one day: different light every minute, you get to shoot outdoors and indoors, in plain sun or in the shadow of a tree/building, inside a cave or on a mountain top etc. etc. Need I say more?

—Khách hàng nên có tiêu chí nào để lựa chọn nhiếp ảnh gia?

—Three things: portfolio, personality, and of course, budget.

—Bạn bước chân vào nghề chụp ảnh như thế nào?

—Bạn có ăn ảnh không?

—I don't feel like a photogenic person.

—Điều bạn thích nhất trong nghề của mình là gì?

—I am dealing, most of the time, with happiness and love during the day of wedding. I am in constant movement – meeting different people. The life looks like the box of chocolates – you never know what kind of clients you get :)

—Điều bạn không thích nhất trong nghề của mình là gì?

—Uncertainty of the future bookings.

—Thái độ của bạn trước những lời phê bình như thế nào?

—I am handle very well constructive criticism – criticism helps my development of being better photographer.

—Cần tránh những điều gì khi chụp ảnh?

—I don't see that kind of things.

—Tương lai của nghề chụp ảnh sẽ như thế nào?

—Difficult to say – maybe the future will be screenshot from the video coverage. For sure there will be more and more competitiveness with the guests capturing the moments through their better and better phones and their ability to instantly share those photos on all social media platforms.

—Bạn có chuyên môn đặc biệt về thể loại ảnh nào?

—In few hours the photographer needs to capture the story of love between the bride and groom, connection to their friends, and nurture of their parents.

—Trước tiên - ai là người bạn cho là tốt nhất nhiếp ảnh gia trong Granada? :)

—The best photographer doesn't exist, only styles! Today there are so many photographers, and each one has their own style. As long as you work hard to constantly grow and push yourself then you will be happy, your clients will be happy and you will become a great photographer.

—Khách hàng nên có tiêu chí nào để lựa chọn nhiếp ảnh gia?

—To select the photographer via his/her work and style and not the price, with out forgetting that they must connect.

—Bạn bước chân vào nghề chụp ảnh như thế nào?

—You could say that it was hidden away inside me for a long time. Without realising I have always had a camera to hand since I was little. Love my dads Canon 650 EOS and always used to take it off his hands. Never thought that it would turn out to be something that I loved doing.

—Bạn có ăn ảnh không?

—To be honest, no not really. That is why I hide behind the camera :P

—Theo ý kiến của bạn, những thành phần nào là quan trọng nhất của một bức ảnh đẹp?

—A good photo has to have life in it. If a photo does not have a penetrating look, or the calmness of a smile, then for me that photo is not natural enough and that is what I always look for in my wedding photos.

—Bạn có yêu thích du lịch không?

—I love new and unknown territories, this make you push your skills and ideas to the limits and keeps you improving. I have several trips lined up this year and cant wait to work somewhere new. And if it is for vacactional purpose, then without a doubt, but I can assure you that my camera will never leave my side.

—Điều bạn thích nhất trong nghề của mình là gì?

—The reaction when I hand my work in and the happiness it brings. I will love photography no matter what, and will always love it no matter what people say about my work. All photographers want to exceed their expectations, improve, update themselves, master new techniques, and we are very perfectionist when it comes down to our own work, so it is a fantastic feeling when others congratulate you on your efforts.

—Điều bạn không thích nhất trong nghề của mình là gì?

—Nothing, I came from a financial work environment with a stressful background to something that I dreamt about doing for a long time. And when you manage to do something you dream about there will be some down moments but you remember what you are doing and why you are doing it, and that motivating crawls right back in and you thrive again.

—Thái độ của bạn trước những lời phê bình như thế nào?

—Constructive criticism helps me improve, mature and evolve. There is always a positive way of looking at things, and criticism can be broken down and used in a positive manner.

—Tương lai của nghề chụp ảnh sẽ như thế nào?

—Well who knows, it is constantly changing and there are so many different styles and techniques to choose from. But hopefully, it will become less fictional and more natural.

—Cần tránh những điều gì khi chụp ảnh?

—Pressure on the bride and groom. In order to take the best and most natural shots we need the bride and groom to be as relaxed as possible. And also mobile and table devises. There are numerous of occasions when the groom could not see the bride walking down the isle due to the amount of people leaning out with their phones and tables.
