All about us
Well - we have just finished a very busy wedding
season! Yesterday was the last one until September when we fly to the beautiful
island of Kauai. We have tons and tons of backlog BLOGging to do and are
thinking about doing a promotion to keep us BLOGging (ie: a promise to BLOG
everyday for the next month until we get it updated - and if we miss an entry, I
don't know a free something - coffee table book, digital negatives - add
comments here for your suggestions !!??). We will have a wee think about it -
watch this space and we will keep you posted.
Anyway, Alex woke up at 5am this morning we couldn't go back to sleep, so we decided to get up and start working - well Dennis did anyway - and I did my best to distract him by interviewing him and making him interview me:
Who are we???
My name... Dennis Viera
Where I am from… Newport, RI
My style... constantly evolving – always something different and fun.
The piece of equipment I can't part with... 85mm 1.2
A website I visit often... bbc.com and stompy.com
One thing I do daily for my business... pick up my camera and shoot whether I have a job on or not.
3 things you'll find on my desk... photo of Alex, Photoshop for Photographers and my ipod.
Something you must have in every business... a love for your work.
Something I always have with me during a photo shoot... music
If I could have someone shoot a portrait of me if would be... Anton Corbijn
A challenge I face in my company... To do something new and different that will help me stand out and giving away everything for free.
If not a photographer I would have been a... Sound Engineer
What do you think happens to you when you die... come back as something you weren’t very nice to –so I try to be nice to everyone.
What's your drink... tequilla
Something you’ll always find in my car... incense
What I ate for breakfast… 3 coffees (not good)
Something I must have for Summer... a ticket out of Dunedin
I'm annoyed by... politicians who don’t use their power for good things.
Something I love to indulge in... buying records
Boxers or briefs... optional
A favorite beauty product of mine... hand lotion
If I needed therapy it would be for... over thinking things.
I'm happiest when... I am always happy.
If they made a movie about my life, it would be... a black comedy starring Ben Stiller
