—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—Do you really really like the portfolio of the photographer

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—On the age of 16 I started my first job at a photo studio where I learned all sorts of photography and also weddings. The first years I was a assistend and enjoyed the weddings a lot, the energy the love the fun!

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—Well let I be honest yes I'am..... but that's in my dream ;-) glad I'm at the other side of the lens.

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—I think it needs a great moment, so you can not only see the love but also feel it!

—Cestujete rádi?

—Yeah I do, to explore new wedding location is amazing!

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—The connection with the people

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—paying taxes

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—I think it's very important to keep growing

—Co není dovoleno při focení?

—We think we do need no other families or friends to shoot with the Iphones among us, we can do it no worries :-) just enjoy the day

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—Wedding photography will even get better than it's already is

—Co je výjimečného na žánru fotografií, na který se specializujete?

—We now see a lot of outdoor wedding ceremony's during the golden hour (sundown) That's something new for us but we like it a lot. We can't have a better light

—Za prvé a především – koho můžete jmenovat jako nejlepšího fotografa ve vašem městě? :)

—Well, it all depends on who you ask.
What is the best car in the world ? Everyone just sees things differently and especially in photography which is an art in itself, where everything is subjective, ask 10 people this question and probably you will get 11 different answers ! :)

—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—If there is one thing I always encourage newlyweds to do when looking for a wedding photographer is to pay very good attention to the portfolios and see which style would suit them and most importantly when meeting a wedding photographer – have him show a full wedding coverage and not get "fooled" by the best 2-3 photos everyone uploads online.

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—It was back in 2007 I think ... photography was already a hobby for me and as I already had a "decent" DSLR kit ( by those times' standards ) a friend of mine ( who was a videographer ) asked me to go with him and shoot some christenings. I was scared as hell thinking I have a huge responsibility but everything went well and then I moved to weddings, still shooting for him as I didn't have any portfolio. The next year I started going solo and ... 10 years later here we are.

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—Never :)

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—Besides the basic technical stuff – composition and message/feeling are by far the key elements of an attractive wedding photograph.

—Cestujete rádi?

—Sure, who doesn't ?
Although I shot quite a few after wedding session abroad with just the bride and groom, I would love to be able to shoot a full destination wedding sometime.

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—Happiness in the client's eyes when they look at their wedding photos for the first time.

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—Hmm tough one...
If I'd had to choose, it would probably the fact that I have to refuse some clients that reeeeealy want me as their wedding photographer, because I already booked their wedding date for someone else.

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—I embrace it – it's the only way we move up the ladder.

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—Probably not much would change – no matter how advanced the cameras will get. A strong and great wedding image from the 50s is still great today so I can only image – the things that bring value to an image will stay constant over time.

—Co není dovoleno při focení?

—Photography is an art – no doubt about that and I find it unacceptable for a client to give the photographer exact and strict examples of they want their wedding images to look like, by bringing photos from other photographers around the world and setting stirct guidelines and boundaries regarding their own images. A photographer should be hired if you liked his own style, not to reproduce someone else's work.

—Čí práce vás ovlivnila nejvíce jako fotografa?

—Susan Stripling.

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—In 2004 I got a digital camera for Christmas, back when digital cameras weren't attached to every device. I was facinated with how you could freeze time, and then view the past later. I couldn't set it down. A few years later I shot my first wedding, fell in love with it and 10 years later have shot over 200.

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—Sometimes... If I've gotten enough sleep and have a glass of wine or two

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—A moment. For sure. If it doesn't have this it's not worth remembering. After that, certainly lighting and composition go a long way.

—Cestujete rádi?

—Absolutely. We have traveled all over the world taking photos!

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—I love that every weekend I get to be a huge part of someone's "most important day of their life."

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—Crazy church ladies that force me to shoot from 100 feet away in the balcony during the ceremony.

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—I love it. As long as it is constructive it is one of the biggest gifts you can give to me.

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—More and more instant gratification. A one month turn around average for a wedding will turn into a day.

—Čeho se bojíte a proč?

—I've found that the energy I've wasted in the past on worrying about things was better spent on just doing what I was supposed anyway. No regrets. No fear.

—Co je výjimečného na žánru fotografií, na který se specializujete?

—The father of the bride that has never cried in public before. The look on the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time. The uncle that doesn't normally drink is dancing up a storm on the dance floor.
