Photographer Franklin Balzan

—Ikaw ba ay photogenic?

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

—Paano ka nagsimula sa industriya ng photography?

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

—Ano ang mga mahahalagang bahagi ng isang magandang larawan sa iyong opinyon?

—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.

—Mahilig ka ba maglakbay?

—Ohh yes :)

—Ano ang pinakagusto mo sa iyong propesyon?

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

—Ano ang hindi mo gusto sa iyong propesyon?

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

—Ano ang magiging kinabukasan ng photography?

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

—Ano ang espesyal sa kategorya ng photography kung saan ka dalubhasa?

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

—Paano ka tumatanggap ng pagpuna?

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

—Mayroon bang mga trend ang photography?

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

—Ano ang dapat na pamantayan ng isang customer sa pagpili ng photographer?

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

—Ano ang mga bagay na dapat iwasan kapag kumukuha ng larawan?

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

—Ano ang mga detalye na kadalasan ay hindi napapansin na napapansin ng photographer?

—Geometries, reflections, frames.

—Sino ang gusto mong makasama sa pagkuha ng larawan?

—Roberto Valenzuela and Livio Lacurre certainly.
