Fotograf Franklin Balzan

—Är du fotogenisk?

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

—Hur började du inom fotografi?

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

—Vilka är enligt dig de viktigaste komponenterna för ett bra fotografi?

—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.

—Älskar du att resa?

—Ohh yes :)

—Vad gillar du mest med ditt yrke?

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

—Vad gillar du minst med ditt yrke?

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

—Hur kommer framtiden för fotografering att se ut?

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

—Vad är det speciella med den fotografigenre du specialiserar i?

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

—Hur hanterar du kritik?

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

—Finns det några trender inom fotografering?

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

—Vad bör kriterierna vara för en kund som ska välja en fotograf?

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

—Vad är absolut inte tillåtet under fotograferingen?

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

—Vilka detaljer kan en fotograf fånga som vanligtvis går obemärkta?

—Geometries, reflections, frames.

—Vem skulle du vilja fotografera med?

—Roberto Valenzuela and Livio Lacurre certainly.
