Fotograaf Diego Velasquez

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

—I hope I am.

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—At university, during my attendance to arts career, I stumbled upon photography, and started to explore its several types, period during which I was able to carry out several photographic coverages, among those, a violinist performance. Not long after that, she recommended me to photograph her sister ́s wedding, and providing that service, I started to get involved in the wedding photography world.

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—Composition, lighting and creativity.

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—Yes, I love to know places and cultures that are new to me.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

—Being part of a new family at each wedding, being able to meet new people and to travel.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

—Working on weekends, unfortunately you miss opportunities to share
with your own family and friends, gatherings, birthdays, weddings, etc.

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—I think that fast advance of technology, social networks and access to information, are a fundamental key for the future of photography.

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—I am one of those people that believe that something definitely spiritual happens on a wedding day, with the union of a man and a woman, what is so special? that every couple is unique, with different personalities. Add to that the way a photography tells that story, and you will definitely have a very special result.

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

—I am open to critics and suggestions, I personally believe that they help you to grow, as long as these are constructive.

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

—I think that wedding photography trends already exist, such as photo journalism, artistic type and those that are in constant evolution, as I mentioned before, due to technological advance and globalization.

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

—-A good portfolio (not only one or four pictures, a full portfolio). -Responsibility (It is important to have a good feeling with the photographer, in general lines I recommend a pre-wedding session so you can familiarize with the way he works, so you know if he is
punctual, responsible and creative). – Good feedback from its clients.

—A good timing, take and composition creativity, with those elements you can touch people’s heart.

—Kuidas sa defineeriksid edu? Kuidas sa seda mõõdad?

—I think that success is relative, maybe an achievement for me, might not be so relevant for another person, is to be able to say one day: I wish to do, to have or achieve said thing, for example a family, work in want you love, understand that happiness is not given by thing but is shared.

—Kas sul on mõni vidin, mida sa omad, aga sooviksid, et poleks ostnud? Miks?
