Today we’d like to introduce you to Emil Gasparian.
Hi Emil, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
In 2008, my passion for photography ignited when my wife and I stumbled upon a local mall photo studio. We decided to capture a Christmas picture with our little puppy. However, upon receiving the overpriced and low-quality prints, we realized that not all photographers are created equal. Of course, we were comparing the images to our wedding pictures since we had our wedding less than a year ago.
As newlyweds, we feared that this dilemma would continue when we have children and many more events to capture. So, we asked ourselves, “Can we do it ourselves?” And thus, our photography business was born.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Becoming a wedding photographer is not a smooth road. It requires hard work, dedication, and a lot of practice. Wedding photography is a competitive field, and standing out among the competition can be challenging.
To become a successful wedding photographer, you need to have excellent photography skills, as well as people skills to communicate and work well with clients. You need to have a good eye for capturing special moments, be able to handle difficult lighting situations, and have a keen sense of timing.
I believe the most daunting obstacle is establishing your presence and gaining recognition. Buying expensive equipment and mastering the art of photography is much more straightforward compared to brand recognition that you need to succeed in the world of photography.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
We specialize in Wedding Photography. Photography is our passion and our goal is to make sure clients are happy. “Clean”, “Contemporary” and “Gorgeous” are some descriptions of our photography. Having said that, we’ve been fortunate to photograph other events such as engagement parties, birthday parties, portraits, business products, and corporate events throughout Los Angeles.
I’ve been told not just by clients but by other photographers that I capture people very candidly, and that sets me apart from most others out there. I have a dedicated gallery on my website with just candid shots or people.
What were you like growing up?
I was a very naughty kid. That’s all I have to say.
