—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—His style. They have to love the style of a photographer. That way they can trust him and let him do his own job.

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—My first wedding was for a friend that loved my travel photos. Than I just got into the wedding photography and now I love it.

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—I like to say that I can be on both sides of a camera.

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—A happy couple in a great location. A great location can be found everywhere, you just have to have your eyes open.

—Cestujete rádi?

—That is what brought me to photography in a first place.

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—Being around so many new and interesting personalities and making them happy with my photo stories.

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—Sitting behind the computer :)

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—I always love to hear a good word about my work, but sometimes a constructive criticism is just a part of the way to being better and better.

—Co není dovoleno při focení?

—Shooting with guns :)

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—locations, locations, locations

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

—Every couple is unique and so is their story.

—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—First of all, it's important that the bride and groom identify themselves with the photographer and his work, the choice should be made by whether they consider he is the one who's worth recording their lifetime memories. Then, they should absolutely watch an entire wedding shot by the one they chose. I like being approached by future weds who know a thing or two about photography and who got their mind set on what they really want.

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—I started taking pictures in 2000 and shooting weddings in 2008. At first, I didn't want to do weddings, I thought it would diminish my work. But I started anyway and found the most challenging environment, I discovered that no matter what type of photography you do, you can always reinvent yourself and find new ways to tell a story. Especially when you meet extraordinary people all the time :)

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—I consider I ain't, but it so happens that on occasion some other photographer catches the good/bright sight of me.

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—First & foremost, the people involved and their mood (if you're shooting people), then the light (I began ”seeing” the light after years of shooting) and the decisive moment. I don't agree that the quality of a photograph is not important, but it indeed comes in second after the feelings it produces.

—Cestujete rádi?

—So much that if it would be possible I would be traveling all the time.

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—The diversity – today I'm shooting a wedding, tomorrow a baptism, after tomorrow a concert, then a family portrait, a corporate event or some landscape. It's what keeps me connected all the time.

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—Having too much to edit.

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—I'm all in for constructive criticism, don't like destructive one. That's why we're here on My Wed, right? To constantly learn from other photographers and document ourselves about where we are as wedding photographers. I, for one, would like to hear more criticism about my work and where to improve. Here's an idea: you could implement a section where each photographer could post one photo/week for critique :D

—Co není dovoleno při focení?

—Getting in front of the photographer.

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—I think it is constantly evolving and that we'll always see changes for the good. We'll always have trends that come and go, the important thing is to know who you are and do what you really like, not necessarily follow the hype.

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

—Oh, everything about it is special. I must admit I suffer when someone refers to it as a banality, thinking that ”real artists” don't do wedding photos. Special is meeting new people, seeing new places or facing new challenges. Besides war photography, I find it the most challenging type, you get to meet all kinds of situations during one day: different light every minute, you get to shoot outdoors and indoors, in plain sun or in the shadow of a tree/building, inside a cave or on a mountain top etc. etc. Need I say more?

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

—Конечно же я!))) Если серьезно, то несколько и каждый из низ по-своему хорош

—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—По убыванию значимости: 1) фотограф как человек (если у него бомбические кадры, но в процессе общения вы поняли, что он не с вашего мира – проходите мимо); 2) фотография (стиль, обработка); 3) условия, прайс

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—Оууу, сейчас понастальгирую...Купил фотик, снимал что вижу, и, наверно, как это у многих бывает, однажды знакомая мне сказала: "Леха! Ты же фотограф! Сними мою свадьбу, пожалуйста". А я такой: "Э, ну, как бы я не фотограф, тем более не снимал еще свадьбы". А в ответ: "Ну у тебя же есть зеркалка, будешь фотографом на моей свадьбе".
Это была моя первая свадьба.

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—Больше да, чем нет

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—Свет, эмоции, атмосфера

—Cestujete rádi?

—Офкорс!

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—Новые знакомства, общение. Радость от пойманых моментов.

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—Одним словом – фотошоп

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—Плохо. Она не окрыляет

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—Думаю, что мода в фотографиях, как и в одежде будет чередоваться: сегодня модно клёш, завтра – зауженные брюки, через неделю – снова клёш. В свадебной фотографии то же самое

—Co není dovoleno při focení?

—Носить с собой одну камеру )
