Interview: Photographer Vidin Stoyanov (Bulgaria)
Can you tell us a little about you?
Energetic, responsible and unpredictable. I love my family and my work. And I'm 100% there.
How and when did you get into photography?
I used to buy and sell things. So I accidentally came across a Sony camera. While I was looking for a digger for him I started looking at it and taking pictures with it. Then I decided to keep it to myself. I didn't even like the souvenir photos he took, but I saw on the Internet that he was capable of many things. So I started reading and watching videos and got into photography.
What does photography mean to you?
The shortest description is: a way of life. I turned my hobby into a profession
Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.
Oh, I don't have a specific style. I always love new things and am constantly experimenting with photo retouching.
Where do you get inspiration from?
Whiskey
Do you think in advance what you want in the picture?
Of course. While taking the photo itself, I already know how I will process it. Before they start shooting, I know what I want the end result to be.
Studio, on location or both?
It depends on the type of photo shoot. But I think I like it better in the studio, because there I'm the boss and I don't care about rain, wind and light.
Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?
The time of hobby photographer was long ago. For 7 years now I have been working only this and with this I feed my family
What has been your most memorable session and why?
When I worked at low prices and naturally got bad customers. There was a wedding where I had an argument with the groom's father. I ended up leaving halfway through the wedding. Immediately after that I doubled my prices.
Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?
Canon and my favorite is 24-70mm II.
What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business?
Don't rush to market. To organize various photo sessions on his own without payment. If you have to pay a model.
What do you think of our new magazine?
It looks great. There are so many talented photographers and models out there and I wish I could meet them all
