Fotograf Franklin Balzan

—Er du fotogen?

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

—Hvordan blev du en del af fotografiindustrien?

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

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

—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.

—Elsker du at rejse?

—Ohh yes :)

—Hvad kan du bedst lide ved dit fag?

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

—Hvad synes du mindre godt om ved dit fag?

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

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ud for fotografering?

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

—Hvad er der specielt ved den fotografigenre, du specialiserer dig i?

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

—Hvordan håndterer du kritik?

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

—Er der nogen tendenser inden for fotografering?

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

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

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

—Hvilke ting er slet ikke tilladt under fotograferingen?

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

—Hvilke detaljer, der som regel går ubemærket hen, vil en fotograf bemærke?

—Geometries, reflections, frames.

—Hvem ville du gerne fotografere sammen med?

—Roberto Valenzuela and Livio Lacurre certainly.
