Hello friends, you see that we do not

agree at the same time that we have

to say hello so a pretty interesting video

is presented in which we are going to

get almost like the dog and the cat

but well, said all this nonsense, as you

can see, we are again duplicated as you

can also see, we have arranged a microphone

so that we do not have problems as

in the previous videos in which the sound

went up and down constantly but hey, they

are technical problems that the important thing, as

I always say, is the content and well,

we hope that this video also has an

interesting content for you what we want to

talk about today, and although I take full

initiative all the time because I wanted to

take Erika, but I have not left her

this time because, well, I am told that

if I do not do things as I

want, it does not end up working but

hey, what I wanted to get to is

that we would like to ask you if

any of you before the wedding season begins

or all these things, if you set some

goals so that, well, that wedding season works

and things end up improving or if you

have a problem, well, I don't know, in

the flash control or you have another problem

in the light control or you do not

clarify with this, or you want to direct

less or, well, all this set of goals

that I suppose and we hope that more

than any of you should be preparing or

organizing, right?

Could you tell us about some of your

goals for this year?

Yes, of course.

In addition, it is something that I commented

with the last girl who was at home,

Gil it's a question she asked me, right?

So, I told Víctor a little while ago,

I said, look how curious, that she asked

me, like, Erika, what goals do you have,

not as a team but you as an

individual person in the world of, well, in

this wedding season, right?

And it seemed interesting to me because I

think this helps us improve and I told

her that there was one as the most

important and it is the one that I

have been dragging since I started working with

Víctor, which is that my problem is that

I am very shy, right?

And then, when I have to interact with

the couple, well, all the security that I

have in myself, well, it falls, right?

It's like I'm always doubting and it's something

that Víctor always tells me, you have to,

when you say a directive, you have to

say it clearly and believe it because if

the boyfriends see that you doubt, they will

also doubt and they will not be sure

of what you are asking them, right?

And then that's what I was telling her,

right?

That I think that many times, especially in

the moment of the report, I hide in

Víctor, right?

It's like I'm going to the wheel, right?

What he's doing, well, I'm getting what I

can.

What I have left over.

Yes, exactly, exactly.

I'm taking the crumbs of bread from what

he has left over and sometimes that.

I want to get on stage, but of

course, he doesn't let me because he has

done that scene.

I'm directing it.

Of course, exactly.

And it's like you can't come in and

at that moment I get angry, but then

I understand it because it really is true.

It's like I want to take advantage of

something that someone is doing and I shouldn't.

And then that's like my main goal, since

this year I have two weddings that I

have to do alone.

Well, alone, with another partner.

But I'm a little nervous because that's it,

right?

During the day of the wedding, I think

I more or less solve myself well or

I feel comfortable, but at the time of

the report, which is the face-to-face

with the grooms, there I'm a little green

because it's hard for me.

Sometimes Víctor gets angry because I give him

clues or I tell him, look, we could

do this, I don't know what, but I

say it to his ear.

And Víctor says to me, but what are

you doing?

And I get super nervous because on top

of being a damn brilliant idea, I tell

him, but why don't you execute, damn it?

And he tells me, no, no, no, you

do it.

You do it, you make it better.

And then there we have...

I mean, the clear example is this damn

photo, one of my best.

I'm talking about the photo of the hands

in which the idea was Erika.

The idea was hers.

I mean, she had to have executed it.

Okay, it was a complicated day for her.

She was pregnant, six months, nervous and such.

But I tell her, damn it, this was

the photo of the year.

And it escaped you because you didn't know

how to control your nerves.

You're seeing, excuse me, that the light is

increasing and decreasing.

It's because outside there's a day of clouds

and lights, and that's why it goes up

and down.

I always say that I'm going to buy

a light ring so that it illuminates us

well, but as you can see, I never

do it until the moment comes, like this

one, when it's back in place.

Having said that, I shut up.

No, well, I don't know, the goal is

a bit...

Something that Víctor always tells me, until you

don't believe it yourself, that you can do

it, you're not going to improve.

I mean, because I'm so afraid of being

in a relationship with my partner, that they

see that I'm nervous, or that what I

do is not 100% what I would

like, well, I shield myself from it.

It's always like the report, or I tell

him, or I'm going to do details.

I say, do you want me to do

the details of the tables?

Which is something I don't like, but at

that moment it seems perfect to me.

And if I accompany him, well, that's it.

I always shield myself behind him, and that's

it, I'm doing what he had left over.

What I tell him is that the good

thing about photographers is that we always shield

ourselves, or we protect ourselves behind a camera.

And I always tell him, imagine that the

camera is like your superhero mask, that you

hide behind it.

I mean, I'm not a guy who likes

to relate enormously to people.

I mean, I'm a guy more for myself,

but at the moment I'm with the camera

on me, and I'm working, I mean, there's

no going back.

That's the only way, to move forward and

believe in yourself, and have the confidence that

what you're going to do is going to

turn out well.

Sometimes it doesn't go well either, but that's

circumstantial, or it's like anecdotal.

If it doesn't go well, it's the same,

right?

Well, it's the same, you understand me.

But it goes that way, okay?

One of my goals is that, well, I

have a few for this year, and the

first one is that I would like the

gallery that I deliver, that is, the final

gallery, the one with 600 images, to be

more compact.

Not only at times, because I think it's

fine, but I mean when it comes to

aesthetics, to the final edition, it's not that

it's bad, but there are photos, for whatever

reason, right?

Because the light didn't go with it, because

the groom's houses weren't the right ones, well,

I mean, the right ones, like the lighting

and all that, and ultimately the whole thing

isn't as harmonious as I would like it

to be.

That's one of the goals that I would

like to achieve this year, if the weddings

finally work, well, if they manage to do

all of them, because of the COVID, well,

we'll see.

Another goal is that I would like to

see if I can focus at once, because

even though I try, at the last wedding

everything started to go a little better, but

in the first two I wasn't completely focused,

the couple was also in their worlds, and

I didn't focus as I should on those

transition photos, on those off moments, on simple

moments, on looking beyond the couple, I mean,

capturing the atmosphere.

But I think that happens to you, and

I've told you many times, because he gets

angry, he gets angry with himself, and he

gets angry with the couple.

No, but I don't get angry face to

face.

No, no, he gets angry, well, we're better

off, we're eating, and he gets angry, and

he's scolding me as if he was scolding

the couple, because he wants more from her,

or he wants things that maybe, that's what

we always talk about, we have super high

expectations of that couple, and maybe the boyfriend

is not a super expressive boyfriend, but he

gives more points for the wedding, and Victor

doesn't like that, because in the end the

wedding is two, and if it doesn't get

compensated, and then it shows, when you give

all the results, it shows who did more

at the wedding or not, and then sometimes

these things make him disconnect a bit, and

maybe I tell him, but Victor, let's go

there, I don't know what, because I'm a

bit more, in that sense, I stand out

more, because the boyfriend doesn't have energy, well,

he doesn't have energy, but I do my

job, but Victor, that affects him more, and

sometimes when they have very high expectations that

it's going to be a wedding, and for

some reason they fall, he also falls sometimes.

It's that the first two have fallen by

their own weight.

Yes, but I mean, in that aspect I'm

more like a donkey, you know, I put

my ears like this, and I keep going,

and it affects him more, and that makes

that sometimes, he's more disconcentrated.

Here we are not here to talk about

the dirty rags, tell us more goals that

you have for this year.

Another goal that I have, no, sorry.

No, man, we are not here to put

a bet on me, we are here to

contribute.

No, no, but also, here I have another

dirty rag, I'll give you a lot.

Another goal is, for example, when it's the

dance, or the photos, on the dance floor

and all that, when they put lights, with

the ball, well, I don't know how it's

called, the ball.

No, what she, what you mean, are those

lights, like from a disco, from a disco,

that are like, that magenta tone, that pink

tone, or whatever, that sometimes it's so complicated

to bring them to the computer, edit them

correctly, or simply in the same shot.

Yes, that's what Victor tells me, sometimes I

don't understand that light, because when he does

it, he does it in a very easy

way, and he explains it to me, and

it's easy, but I go crazy, it's like,

sometimes I put flash, and at that moment

I don't have to put why a light

comes, and then Victor, what he always tells

me, is that before shooting, think how that

light works, that it's not so complicated, you

just have to understand it, and now I'm

in that process, because always, before starting the

party, I always ask him, let's see, what

parameters do you put?

Because I put this, and it doesn't work,

and in the end he tells me, Rica,

there's no magic formula, you have to see

how that light comes in, because maybe at

a certain moment, I take off the flash,

and I play with those lights, to play

more with those tones that come in the

faces, and that's still something that's hard for

me, and at the first moment of that

party, I'm insecure, because I still don't understand

how they work, and it's something that's a

pending signature that I have, and that I

have to do well, because if not, my

photos of his will look very different.

Another pending signature for me is that everything

depends on being standing for a year, even

if that's an excuse, being standing for a

year, couples are not 100% receptive, maybe

everything is a bit mixed up, I always

say that the important thing is to work,

years will come when we can take more

risks, and all these things, but the truth

is that on my personal side, and it's

been a while since I've been to a

pre-wedding, even though the pre-wedding went

well, but I don't feel the freshness that

I had a couple of years ago, which

is normal, because we've been a year not

only without practice, but also a year of

thinking that we haven't worked well, so that's

one of the main problems, that I don't

know which football game I'm playing, whether to

win or to draw, I mean, I don't

know if...

Sometimes I don't know where I'm going, if

I get closer, if I get closer less,

if I do this, sometimes, and that happens

to me, for example, not now, but all

the time, sometimes I think that what I

do, I've already done it before, so I

repeat myself constantly, and that tortures me a

lot, because sometimes I'm going to ask for

a photo and I think, oh no, I've

already done it, or I've already done something

similar, I'm going to do another one, and

then that collapse makes me end up doing

the usual photos again, I mean, the usual

photos, the basic pose of all life, face

to face, kisses, caresses, I mean, and no,

and I'm not betting on that, I would

like to get out of that block, and

the only way that I've gotten out of

those blocks that I've had throughout all these

years, has been to forget that I'm blocked,

and even if I'm going to do something

that I've already done before, let me go

free, because in the end, I'm sure I'm

doing something completely different from what I originally

had in mind.

Yes, and it happens to you a lot,

you have a starting point that you improve,

but after two minutes, you start doing different

things, because in the end, from the initial

photo to the one you stay in, it

has nothing to do with it.

But yes, couples this year are a little

bit special.

Yes, well, I think we're all a little

bit more...

Yes, there's not so much closeness, and sometimes

that...

But those are excuses for bad photos.

Yes, exactly.

Yes, that's true.

Yes, and also...

No, because you have to work well, and

you have to adapt to the environment, and

you have to think about everything.

The last goal.

Because that's something that we always say, we

have to put a few and try to

meet them, because sometimes if we put a

lot, we don't meet any.

The last one, which is a bit like

what we talked about in the previous video,

that sometimes I have mistakes as a beginner,

that...

I leave things, or rather, the typical percha,

because in a moment when the boyfriend is

changing, there's a percha.

And then, that makes my photo of what

could have been good, because there's a good

light, a good acting, of the couple because

they're doing something that's good.

But there's a photographer who got nervous, he

didn't look through the lens or the lens,

and he didn't look at the elements that

are inside, and then he didn't realize, or

he didn't want to realize because of his

nerves, that there were elements that were bothering,

and that makes the photo go down, and

it doesn't end up working.

Exactly.

That was one of the...

Yes, yes, it's one of the goals that

I'm trying...

And without it looking sexist, to improve.

I'm going to comment on this one.

When I see that mistake in women photographers,

I get even angrier.

Why?

Because you women have your eyes more prepared

to look at those little details.

Men are more like this, like little donkeys

that we throw forward and we don't look

at the detail that the boy wears on

his shirt, or the girlfriend that goes like

this, no.

And that's why when I see a woman

photographer that makes these mistakes, I get angry

because I say, look, this girl looks at

everything, things that I don't realize, she realizes,

like her, and suddenly the wedding day comes

and I say, how could she have put

that in the frame?

But well, those are things.

And my last goal, and it's not a

joke, it's not a joke, the next...

No, I don't think you know, I don't

think you're going to laugh, no, no.

I thought it was what we were talking

about before.

No, no, no.

Raising rates.

Ah!

Well, that too.

Yes, I mean, we want to raise rates

even more.

In fact, the last test we did with

the last couple.

And it worked.

And it worked.

I mean...

We don't know if it's also luck of...

Well, it's one in one.

Exactly.

But...

Well, we raised 500 euros more.

I know it's not much, but in the

price we were at, for Spanish couples, it's

a nice price and we want that.

I mean, we want to raise rates again

and...

Why not?

I mean...

Well, we think our work is consolidating...

Of course.

We're more and more like a team.

Yes, yes, yes.

And it's worth it.

And now, I mean, it's not comparable like

when you started four years ago to the

work we're doing together now.

I mean...

Now we understand each other much more.

But that's not...

I mean, that's not a tangible value.

I mean, that can't be weighed.

You can't say that to a couple.

No, it's that now we earn more because

you work better.

No, that's not like that.

No, I mean, we earn more because we

deserve it and because our work is worth

it.

Because of the value we give to our

photography.

Nothing more and nothing less.

It's not because we give more.

No.

That's what we want to do or where

we want to go.

We'll tell you if it works in a

few months.

But sometimes, when you're sure of yourself that

it's going to work and you believe it,

it might work or you have more possibilities

for it to work.

So, there are no more objectives, right?

No, just three.

Well, there are many.

We end the video.

Yes.

Can we start criticizing again when this is

over?

Yes?

Yes, now it's my turn.

Well, guys, nothing more and we leave you.

We hope you liked all this.

The truth is that the other day in

Oporto we met by pure chance because she

was in charge of the albums and all

these things and she had to talk and

the truth is that we liked her and

she was the one who told me and

who proposed this subject of objectives.

I said, well, we record together and that's

it.

So, nothing more, friends.

Be good.

I wish you all the best and see

you soon.

Until next time.

Bye.
