—Zijn er bepaalde trends in fotografie?

—Film look and filters but I try to avoid them. I not saying that I don`t use them.

—Welke criteria moet de klant hanteren bij het kiezen van een fotograaf?

—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.

—Hoe bent u beland in de fotografie-industrie?

—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 :)

—Bent u fotogeniek?

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

—Wat zijn volgens u de belangrijkste elementen van een goede foto?

—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.

—Houdt u van reizen?

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

—Wat vindt u het leukst aan uw beroep?

—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.

—Wat vindt u het minst leuk aan uw beroep?

—Having too much to edit.

—Hoe gaat u om met kritiek?

—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

—Wat is er totaal uit den boze bij het fotograferen?

—Getting in front of the photographer.

—Wat ziet u de toekomst van fotografie?

—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.

—Wat is er bijzonder aan het fotografiegenre waarin u zich specialiseert?

—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?
