Fotógrafo Franklin Balzan

—¿Es usted fotogénico(a)?

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

—¿Cómo empezó a trabajar en la industria de fotografía?

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

—¿En su opinión, cuáles son los elementos más importantes de una buena fotografía?

—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.

—¿Le gusta viajar?

—Ohh yes :)

—¿Qué le gusta más de su profesión?

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

—¿Qué le gusta menos de su profesión?

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

—¿Cuál será el futuro de la fotografía?

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

—¿Qué tiene de especial el género fotográfico en que trabaja?

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

—¿Cómo gestiona las críticas?

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

—¿Existe alguna tendencia en la fotografía?

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

—¿Qué criterios debería tener en cuenta una persona a la hora de elegir a un fotógrafo?

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

—¿Qué no está permitido de ningún modo cuando realiza una fotografía?

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

—¿Qué detalles que normalmente no tenemos en cuenta puede un fotógrafo captar?

—Geometries, reflections, frames.

—¿Con quién le gustaría fotografiar?

—Roberto Valenzuela and Livio Lacurre certainly.
