Aljoša Videtič<br />
Grega Šajn<br />
Fotografira že od zgodnjih najstniških let. Že njegov<br />
mentor ga je začutil kot potencial in mu je posvetil<br />
ogromno časa. Prve nagrade so prišle kot potrditev<br />
in fotografijo je začel jemati zares. Prvo poroko je<br />
fotografiral po takratnih pravilih o poziranju, z obilico<br />
statične fotografije. Z leti izkušenj in dobrih odzivov<br />
naročnikov je dobesedno dobil krila. Rad se igra s<br />
trenutki, ki so neponovljivi, vendar ta igra v sebi skriva<br />
ogromno znanja. Situacije se nenehno spreminjajo,<br />
potrebna je zbranost, trenutkov ni mogoče ponavljati. V<br />
Sloveniji ga je najbolj prevzelo okolje Kekčeve domačije,<br />
kamor ga je prijatelj Grega (Šajn) povabil kot fotografa<br />
svojega poročnega dne. Sicer pa je prepričan, da je<br />
lahko vsako okolje odlično, če je energija prava. Zadnji<br />
dve leti je fotografiral kar nekaj porok v tujini, v Italiji in<br />
na Portugalskem. Ne more pozabiti letošnje poroke na<br />
Azorih, otočju sredi Atlantika, kjer je s parom iz Kanade<br />
po letu dni pisanja mailov preživel nepozaben teden,<br />
sprejeli so ga kot člana družine. Veseli se vsakega<br />
povabila, potovanj in spoznavanja novih čudovitih ljudi in<br />
najbolj nenavadnih krajev sveta.<br />
Fotografija ga spremlja že vse življenje, saj je<br />
bil njegov oče mojster fotografije, po dolgih letih<br />
hobija pa je tudi njemu postala poslovni izziv. Pri<br />
poročni fotografiji uživa, ker ima enostavno rad<br />
ljudi. Fascinira ga neponovljivost dogodka in s tem<br />
odgovornost do trenutkov, ki jih je potrebno ujeti.<br />
Vsa emotivnost trenutka se prenaša na fotografa –<br />
pomembno je, da par ob gledanju fotografij podoživi<br />
čustva poročnega dne. Vsaka poroka mu predstavlja<br />
nov izziv: kot fotograf mora začutiti karakter ter<br />
odnos para in to prikazati na fotografiji. Njegove<br />
najljubše lokacije poročne fotografije so stara<br />
mestna jedra, ki nudijo igriva ozadja ter kontrast<br />
med poročnim parom in vsakdanjim življenjem,<br />
v Sloveniji na primer Ljubljana in Piran. Vedno je<br />
navdušen nad zaljubljenimi pari, ki ne pozabijo, da<br />
je bistvo poročnega dne prav v njih samih in uživajo<br />
drug z drugim. Sam se vedno čustveno vplete v<br />
poroko, ker tako bolje dela. Prav tako se veseli<br />
naročnikov, ki mu popolnoma zaupajo in dopuščajo<br />
vso fotografsko svobodo.<br />
Aljoša has been taking photographs since<br />
he was a teenager. His mentor noticed<br />
his potential and devoted untold hours to<br />
the budding talent. Confirmation arrived<br />
in the form of awards Aljoša received for<br />
his photographs, and eventually the young<br />
amateur started taking photography seriously.<br />
He photographed his first wedding in the<br />
traditional style that was in vogue at the time,<br />
featuring a preponderance of static shots.<br />
Years of experience and satisfied clients<br />
literally gave him wings. He loves to play with<br />
unique, special moments, however that “play”<br />
requires a great deal of proficiency. Things are<br />
in a constant flux and one needs to be really<br />
focused, as scenes cannot be recreated. In<br />
Slovenia, the setting that impressed him most<br />
was that of the homestead Kekčeva domačija,<br />
where he was summoned to photograph the<br />
wedding of his friend and colleague Grega<br />
Šajn. Otherwise he believes that any setting<br />
can be great if the energy is right. Over the<br />
past couple of years he has photographed<br />
quite a few weddings abroad, in Italy and<br />
Portugal. A wedding that is particularly firmly<br />
etched on his memory took place earlier this<br />
year in Azore Islands, where after a year of<br />
exchanging emails he spent an unforgettable<br />
week with a couple from Canada who treated<br />
him like a member of the family. He looks<br />
forward to every assignment, every trip and<br />
loves meeting new wonderful people in the<br />
most extraordinary places all over the globe.<br />
Photography has always been a part of<br />
Grega’s life, as his father was a master<br />
photographer. After many years of treating<br />
photography as a hobby, however, Grega<br />
too started regarding it as a professional<br />
challenge. He loves wedding photography<br />
because he simply loves people. He is<br />
fascinated by the uniqueness of the event<br />
and the responsibility to capture key<br />
moments on camera. The entire emotional<br />
charge of a scene is channelled through the<br />
photographer: when looking at the photos,<br />
the couple should relive the emotions of their<br />
wedding day. Every wedding poses a new<br />
challenge; as a photographer he should sense<br />
and capture the character and the relationship<br />
of the couple in the photograph. His favourite<br />
locations for wedding photography are<br />
old town centres that provide picturesque<br />
backdrops and contrasts between the<br />
wedding couple and everyday life, in Slovenia<br />
typically Ljubljana and Piran. He is always<br />
enthralled by lovebirds who are aware that<br />
they themselves are the heart and soul of the<br />
wedding day, and truly enjoy one another.<br />
He himself always gets emotionally involved<br />
as well, as he works better that way. In<br />
particular, he enjoys working for clients who<br />
trust him unconditionally, allowing him to give<br />
free reign to his artistic expression.<br />
