Punto Magazine in Los Angeles

Thank you Oscar and Monique for this great Interview.
Gisela Prishker represents a new generation of Latinos photographers. Specializing in fashion, editorial and wedding photography. Among other thing she works as a photographer for the Hispanic magazine Somos. Originally from Mexico, at the age of 14, she realized her love for photography. At age sixteen, started playing around with the camera while still at school and was offered a job working for a local newspaper, photographing the most popular people in the city and was later moved to shoot images for another section of the paper where she was to cover concerts and famous artists that arrived in the city. Looking for new opportunities she later applied at another newspaper where they rejected her for lack of experience.This did not stop her though as she was determined to get the job. She insisted so much that she did get a job for the paper although not as a photographer at first, but with time was able to work with a reporter and do photography once more.Having won a contest in the Fort Lauderdale Institute later tookher to travel to Miami at age 19, but because of life’s circumstances, Gisela had to take a break from photography for six years. Later her decision to return to the world of photography, would give her more courage than ever to dedicate herself once more to what she loved the most. Although she did not have much money she focused on returning to school to take classes and with the help and support of two very good friends was able to go forward and not give up what she loved. She lived in Montana, where she continued her studies while practicing photgraphy, while doing other types of work to support her photography education. The first time Gisela was able to develop an image in the darkroom was for her a truly magical moment. To be able to actually see for the first time how an image was transformed, made her appreciate her vocation even more so.It’s only been three years since Gisela opened her business in photography and for the first time ever, has been able to dedicate herself 100% to the business. These days, you rarely see her without a camera as she is always looking for something beautiful to photograph.Her inspiration along the way has been Annie Lebowitz and Mary Ellen Marks. “Somethingthat always worries me is the prostitution of young poor children, and Annie captures this in her images” I have always thought I would like to do what Annie does for a living and also Mary Ellen’s style because I love documentary or editorial work and the interesting people you can capture. Gisela’s style of photography according to her is sensual. Her work is also addictive, as her clients not only look for her only once a year, but keep coming back at least threetimes in a year for photo shoots. “I don’t just sell an image or a product, apart from a service,I sell experience”.
Gisela always tries to make her sessions fun and tries to make her subject feel as though she is the most beautiful woman in the universe. What she likes the most is boudoir and shooting models. “It is a very intimate moment, besides the person has to have much trust and confidence in you to be able to present themselves for this type of photoshoot. Gaining the trust of the client is the best thing, because after this occurs, you canbegin to capture any kinds of images that onewants because that trust is now there”. Prishker also enjoys fashion and editorial photography, and is yet working on this to take it to another level. With the help of a hairstylist/make-up artist friend, her plans are to create a portafolio of high fashion photography. Joining her will also be a fashion designer and this project, she hopes will be completed very soon.Gisela is a frequent flyer to Florida where she once also resided. She does this once a month as she already has her calendar scheduled with clients who have booked photo shoots with her for when she arrives. Usually, her clients are ready to schedule a new session before they have seen the images from the previous one. When they do see the images, they make plans to prepare for the next shoot so that they may look even better.
Last year she very proudly was able to conduct an event in the Shrine Auditorium, where she gathered a group of professional Hispanic photographers, fashion designers, models, make-up artists etc. in order to make a promotional video and also form a networking group of professionals that also include florists, videographer, catering services, wedding planners. All this with the purpose of starting her own company although small at first but her goals are to make it grow with time. Definitely what Gisela sells is her personality and a great achievement for her at this time in her life has been the ability to be able to balance her career with her personal life. This is something she did not have before. Now a days she is able to dedicate more time to those things she loves to do besides her career and spend more time with family and friends. Her future plans besides forming her own company, include to give more seminars, contribute to magazines, and she is also a mentor to three very important people whom she is currently helping to improve their photography. She would like to see them grow and become better than her at what they do. Advice to any photographer is to fight for what you want, be persistent. That it is not easy and there are sacrifices that need to be made, but if you love what you do it is well worth it in the end and great things will come. Also very important, not to forget to givethanks to those who helped you along the way and beable to recognize those who helped.web site: http://www.giselaprishker.net/

In my laguage:


Gisela representa una nueva generación de fotógrafos Latinos. Su especialidad es fotografía de modas, editorial y bodas. Ella se movió a California hace poco tiempo, y trabaja como fotógrafa para la revista Hispana Somos Originalmente de México, a la edad de 14 años se dio cuenta desu amor a la fotografía. A los 16 empezó a jugar con la cámara mientras aun estaba en la escuela y le ofrecieron un trabajo para un periódico local haciendo fotos de la gente mas popular en la ciudad. Después la movieron a otra sesión del periódico donde pudo cubrir fotos de conciertos y la gente famosa que llegaba a la cuidad. Buscando nueva oportunidades, aplico para trabajar en otro periódico donde la rechazaron por falta de experiencia.
Esto no paro a Gisela ya que estaba determinada a conseguir el trabajo. Lo logro aunque no en fotografía al principio, pero con el tiempo pudo trabajar al lado de un reportero y una vez mas hacer fotografías.
Gano un concurso en el instituto de Fort Lauderdale y esto la llevo a viajar a Miami a la edad de 19 años, pero
por circunstancias de la vida, ella tuvo que tomarse seis anos lejos de la fotografía. Su decisión de regresar una vez mas al mundo de fotografía le dio mas animo que nunca a dedicarse a lo que ella amaba mas. Aunque no contaba con mucho dinero, se enfoco en regresar al colegio y tomar mas clases. Esto lo pudo lograr con la ayuda de
dos muy buenas amigas quienes la apoyaron y convencieron seguir adelante. Vivió en Montana, donde continuo con sus estudios y practicaba la fotografía mientras trabajaba para ayudarle con su educación. La primera vez que Gisela revelo en blanco y negro en el cuarto oscuro fue para ella una maravilla. El poder ver por primera vez como se transformaban las imágenes, la hizo apreciar aun mas el arte de la fotografía. Hace apenas tres años que Gisela abrió su propio negocio dedicado a la fotografía. En estos días, le encanta traer siempre con ella una cámara y fotografiar a todo lo que se le haga bonito. A lo largo de su carrera se ha inspirado en Annie Lebowitz y Mary Ellen Marks. “Algoque a mi me preocupa es la prostitución de los niños pobres”, y Annie captura esto. “ Siempre he pensado que me gustaría hacer lo que hace Annie para poder vivir pero tambien lo que hace Mary Ellen, porque me gusta mucho los documentales y la gente interesante que se captura”. Cuando le preguntamos sobre su estilo de fotografía nos contesta que siempre ha sido un estilo sensual. Su trabajo, según ella, es un poco adictivo, ya que los clientes no solo la buscan una vez al año, sino vuelven por lo menos tres veces. “No vendo solo una foto ni un producto, aparte de un servicio vendo la experiencia”. Siempre trata de que sus sesiones sean divertidas, y hace sentir a su clienta la mujer mas hermosa del universo, tratando de hacer subir su autoestima. Lo que mas le gusta es el bodoir y la fotografía de modelos. “Es un momento muy intimo, aparte la persona tiene que tener mucha confianza para prestarse a este tipo de fotografía, el poder ganarse la confianza de un cliente es lo mas lindo, después que esto ocurre, uno puede capturar lo que uno quiera porque hay esa confianza”. Editorial de modas o fashion es algo que también le atrae, y aun esta trabajando en esto ya que le gustaría llevar este tipo de fotografía a otro nivel. Con la ayuda de un amigo estilista/maquillista, piensa crear un portafolio de “High Fashion photography”. Esto lo va a lograr también con la ayuda de un diseñador de modas y así llevar su fotografía al nivel que ella quiere. Este proyecto lo piensa tener completo muy pronto. Gisela, quien ahora reside en California, viaja a la Florida (donde vivió parte de su vida) una vez al mes donde ya tiene en su calendario por lo menos cinco clientes esperando para sesiones de fotos. Gisela nos
dice que sus clientes antes de aun ver sus fotos terminadas ya están pidiendo la próxima sesión de fotos. Cuando ven sus fotos, definitivamente se preparan para la proxima, y hacen planes para poder verse mejor.
El año pasado Gisela realizo un evento en el Shrine Auditorium donde reunió a varios profesionales latinos en fotografía, modas, maquillaje etc. esto fue un gran logro para ella, ya que muchos dudaban que podría lograrlo. El poder trabajar en el Shrine, para ella fue como un sueño que se hizo realidad. Entre todos hicieron un photo shoot, y vídeo de promoción. Sus planes, formar un grupo de networking con la ayuda de todos estos profesionales mas una florería, catering, wedding planner, etc. y así comenzar su propia compañía aunque pequeño al principio, pero poder crecer con el tiempo. Definitivamente, lo que mas vende a Gisela es su personalidad, y un gran logro en este momento de su vida es el haber aprendido a balancear su carrera con su vida personal, algo que antes no tenia. Hoy en día puede dedicar mas tiempo a todo lo que le gusta aparte de la fotografía ya sea su familia,
o amigos. Sus planes para el futuro, aparte de formar su propia compañía, es el poder dar mas seminarios y aportar a varias publicaciones. Gisela también es mentora de 3 personas y con su ayuda, quiere verlas crecer y llegar a ser mejores fotografos que ella.
El consejo que tiene para cualquier fotógrafo es que luchen por lo que quieren y que sean persistentes. Que se comprometan con lo que quieran hacer. No es fácil pero si se sacrifica un poco y te gusta, la recompensa es
grande.También algo muy importante, nunca olvidar reconocer cuando un fotógrafo te ayuda y darles las gracias.
