Fotograf Franklin Balzan

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—I wouldn't say so. I am usually the one behind the camera and do not enjoy being seen to much.

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—It was a natural evolution... I love street photography, fashion and portrait and therefore love shooting wedding photography in my artsy-journalistic style.

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—Especially for wedding photography, certainly the photo must convey emotion and have a story to tell. Apart from these two aspects then, there are also the technical aspects such as lighting and composition.

—Cestujete rádi?

—Ohh yes :)

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—Moving from place to place, meeting new people and creating art.

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—The headache of possibly not being able to make it to the wedding due to some illness or something.

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—Mirrorless cameras are already with us – their technology has already catched with their heavier DSLR counterparts.

—Co je výjimečného na žánru fotografií, na který se specializujete?

—Emotions and the once in a lifetime event, which everyone has been preparing so much to.

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—Positively, as it helps me improve. Infact it helps me see things which otherwise I would not have noted.

—Jsou nějaké trendy v oblasti focení?

—It seems most photographers are moving towards a journalistic fastpaced style.

—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—The artistic style of the photo – colour, tone, framing.

—Co není dovoleno při focení?

—Relaxing! One must keep concentrated till the last seconds of a wedding.

—Jakých detailů, které obvykle projdou bez povšimnutí, si může fotograf všimnout?

—Geometries, reflections, frames.

—S kým byste chtěli fotit?

—Roberto Valenzuela and Livio Lacurre certainly.
