—Først og fremmest - hvem kan du navngive som den bedste fotograf i Craiova? :)

—Well, it all depends on who you ask.
What is the best car in the world ? Everyone just sees things differently and especially in photography which is an art in itself, where everything is subjective, ask 10 people this question and probably you will get 11 different answers ! :)

—Hvad bør kriterierne være for en kunde, der skal vælge en fotograf?

—If there is one thing I always encourage newlyweds to do when looking for a wedding photographer is to pay very good attention to the portfolios and see which style would suit them and most importantly when meeting a wedding photographer – have him show a full wedding coverage and not get "fooled" by the best 2-3 photos everyone uploads online.

—Hvordan blev du en del af fotografiindustrien?

—It was back in 2007 I think ... photography was already a hobby for me and as I already had a "decent" DSLR kit ( by those times' standards ) a friend of mine ( who was a videographer ) asked me to go with him and shoot some christenings. I was scared as hell thinking I have a huge responsibility but everything went well and then I moved to weddings, still shooting for him as I didn't have any portfolio. The next year I started going solo and ... 10 years later here we are.

—Er du fotogen?

—Never :)

—Hvad er de vigtigste komponenter i et godt billede efter din mening?

—Besides the basic technical stuff – composition and message/feeling are by far the key elements of an attractive wedding photograph.

—Elsker du at rejse?

—Sure, who doesn't ?
Although I shot quite a few after wedding session abroad with just the bride and groom, I would love to be able to shoot a full destination wedding sometime.

—Hvad kan du bedst lide ved dit fag?

—Happiness in the client's eyes when they look at their wedding photos for the first time.

—Hvad synes du mindre godt om ved dit fag?

—Hmm tough one...
If I'd had to choose, it would probably the fact that I have to refuse some clients that reeeeealy want me as their wedding photographer, because I already booked their wedding date for someone else.

—Hvordan håndterer du kritik?

—I embrace it – it's the only way we move up the ladder.

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ud for fotografering?

—Probably not much would change – no matter how advanced the cameras will get. A strong and great wedding image from the 50s is still great today so I can only image – the things that bring value to an image will stay constant over time.

—Hvilke ting er slet ikke tilladt under fotograferingen?

—Photography is an art – no doubt about that and I find it unacceptable for a client to give the photographer exact and strict examples of they want their wedding images to look like, by bringing photos from other photographers around the world and setting stirct guidelines and boundaries regarding their own images. A photographer should be hired if you liked his own style, not to reproduce someone else's work.

—Først og fremmest - hvem kan du navngive som den bedste fotograf i San Diego? :)

—I think that we all want to say ourselves but really the best wedding photographer is the one the best fits the style of what the bride and groom are looking for. But as far as artistic, creative, documentary wedding photography, it's got to be me ;)

—Hvad bør kriterierne være for en kunde, der skal vælge en fotograf?

—Stay away from Pinterest and keep it real. Real is always better. Make sure they do research and spend the money. This is the ONE area you don't what to skimp out on. If the bride and groom set a budget and it turns out that wedding photographers cost more, well than it's time to change the budget as well. Don't try to work with it. Make sure you see at least 2 full weddings. Photographers only want to show you their best.

—Hvordan blev du en del af fotografiindustrien?

—It looked like a lot of fun! I wanted to approach it differently than your "traditional" wedding photographer. It really paid off :)

—Er du fotogen?

—It depends on who's taking them.

—Hvad er de vigtigste komponenter i et godt billede efter din mening?

—Moment, Light and Composition.

—Elsker du at rejse?

—I love it!

—Hvad kan du bedst lide ved dit fag?

—Trying to make a picture. It's a challenge that is highly rewarding.

—Hvad synes du mindre godt om ved dit fag?

—I am very hard on myself and by far my worst critic. But it's this that keeps me pushing, improving my eye and making better photographs.

—Hvordan håndterer du kritik?

—I like it. As long as it's coming from the right people/places.

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ud for fotografering?

—Hopefully more documentary and true to life. There are a lot of clichés that are so unnecessary.

—Hvilke ting er slet ikke tilladt under fotograferingen?

—Ruining moments to make something cheesy.

—Kan du give et par råd til de fotografer, som lige er startet?

—Study, practice, be humble, open to the world!

—Hvordan blev du en del af fotografiindustrien?

—Probably in the same way of most of us: a friend asked me to shoot her wedding, then, since I had already a big passion about photography, after I saw that I enjoyed a lot to capture real moments, I decided-well actually together with my husband Graziano Guerini- to follow that path (step by step).

—Er du fotogen?

—sure ;)

—Hvad er de vigtigste komponenter i et godt billede efter din mening?

—I think there is not an exact answer, everyone likes a photo because of many reasons, also personal reasons given by personal taste.
Personally, using of course a good technique, I aim to capture always the emotions, the real moments, that's what really matters in a perfect service in my opinion.
And in the Creative Sessions I aim to create beautiful photos, so I take care of the esthetique by following my personal sense of taste, but always trying to give some emotions to the viewers.
Also controlling lights and shadows is very important, often essential.

—Hvad kan du bedst lide ved dit fag?

—Shooting weddings in different countries, with different traditions, it's very interesting, and we often work between Italy, Austria and Hungary, but not only.
And this job allows me to meet new people, of course, and this is also a beautiful side of being a wedding photographer.
And being able to give to these people memories they will be joyful to watch in the future, well, that makes me proud.

—Hvordan håndterer du kritik?

—I'm always studying, always trying new things, and always following photographers whose works I love, and I'm always ready to learn from them.
There is always to learn something new, and there is always someone who can teach me something. So, I usually accept critics if well motivated :)

—Kan du lide hunde eller katte?
