Preguntas frecuentes generales

 

P: ĀæEntregas cada imagen que tomas?

R: No, no lo hago. Elimino imĆ”genes duplicadas, tomas de prueba, tomas enfocadas perdidas, tomas con malas expresiones y otras imĆ”genes que pueden diluir la entrega general del producto. Por ejemplo, debido a que disparo con aperturas bajas, a veces tomo algunas fotos adicionales para asegurarme de tener el enfoque perfecto. No espero que tenga la experiencia o el tiempo para hacer zoom en cada imagen para seleccionar la que tiene el enfoque mĆ”s nĆ­tido, asĆ­ que paso tiempo haciĆ©ndolo de nuestra parte. En otro ejemplo, las risas sinceras y las lĆ”grimas emocionales son algunas de las mejores imĆ”genes del dĆ­a. Desafortunadamente, tambiĆ©n pueden producir algunas expresiones faciales poco favorecedoras. PodrĆ­amos tomar algunos extras de cualquiera de estos momentos para asegurarnos de tener una gran toma con la expresiĆ³n ideal para el momento. Puedo eliminar los que siento que son duplicados y solo entregar el mejor.

P: ĀæHa disparado en mi lugar antes?

R: He disparado en docenas de lugares, asĆ­ que hay alguna posibilidad de que tenga. Sin embargo, si no lo he hecho, tratarĆ© de llegar al lugar temprano el dĆ­a y me asegurarĆ© de realizar un recorrido completo para buscar los mejores lugares para tomar fotografĆ­as. Ā”TambiĆ©n hago investigaciones en lĆ­nea antes de tu gran dĆ­a!

 

P: ĀæHacĆ©is bodas de destino? ĀæQuĆ© cargos adicionales estĆ”n asociados con las bodas de destino?

R: Si bien Chad Populis Photography tiene su sede en el Ć”rea de Nueva Orleans y el sureste de Luisiana, puedo atender a clientes de todo el mundo. Mis paquetes de fotografĆ­a de bodas de destino incluyen el costo del viaje y las adaptaciones razonables 

ā€‹

P: ĀæSu estudio hace fotos de rostros, retratos individuales, retratos familiares, sesiones de reciĆ©n nacidos, fotografĆ­a comercial u otros tipos de fotografĆ­a?

R: SĆ­, tengo experiencia en muchos campos de la fotografĆ­a. 

 

P: ĀæHacĆ©is fotos de QuinceaƱeras, Debutantes, Bah Mitzvahs, Fiestas, Discotecas o Eventos Corporativos?

R: actualmente, las bodas y los eventos relacionados con ellas son los Ćŗnicos eventos que cubro.

ā€‹
Estilo y Calidad

 

P: ĀæCuĆ”l es tu estilo y filosofĆ­a con respecto a la fotografĆ­a?

R: Por naturaleza y hĆ”bito, soy un fotĆ³grafo de estilo de vida, una mezcla de estilos callejero, urbano, de moda y documental. Por lo tanto, tiendo a ser atraĆ­do por los comportamientos y la belleza de las personas y las interacciones sociales, por lo que mis fotos tienden a capturar la emociĆ³n de la escena actual. Si bien obtener todas las fotos con poses y estilos es importante, buscar esos momentos sinceros que suceden orgĆ”nicamente es lo que realmente hace un gran portafolio. Como ocurre con la mayorĆ­a de los fotĆ³grafos, los Ć”ngulos, las perspectivas, la exposiciĆ³n y cĆ³mo componemos nuestras imĆ”genes siempre serĆ”n el centro de atenciĆ³n. Pero siempre se priorizarĆ” la iluminaciĆ³n para que sus fotos sean nĆ­tidas y enfocadas. La luz natural es lo que prefiero, pero muchas veces es necesaria una iluminaciĆ³n creativa adecuada para capturar algunos momentos.

ā€‹

P: Mi local es muy oscuro. ĀæCĆ³mo maneja su estudio estossituaciones, y Āæpuedo ver muestras?

R: Si la situaciĆ³n lo permite, configuraremos iluminaciĆ³n adicional para asegurarnos de obtener imĆ”genes enfocadas. Algunas capillas no permiten la fotografĆ­a con flash; y por esa razĆ³n, fotografĆ­o en cĆ”maras con un excelente rendimiento en condiciones de poca luz y lentes con aperturas bajas.

ā€‹

Preguntas de postproducciĆ³n


P: ĀæRetocas todas las imĆ”genes en nuestra descarga de imĆ”genes?

R: SĆ­, lo hago. Cada imagen que entrego es postproducida con mi estilo caracterĆ­stico de postproducciĆ³n. Esto implica correcciĆ³n de color, ajuste de exposiciĆ³n, procesamiento selectivo de blanco y negro, ajustes de claridad, mapeo de tonos y otras correcciones. Muchos fotĆ³grafos no publicarĆ”n ninguna imagen o solo publicarĆ”n imĆ”genes "seleccionadas" de su boda. Esto significa que es posible que tenga imĆ”genes demasiado oscuras, que tenga tonos de piel extraƱos u otros defectos fotogrĆ”ficos comunes.
