—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.

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

—Rolf Vendis – according to LKFA.lv awards 2018

—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—Listen to your heart, and just imagine your self on my photos ;)

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—It was a point to start, so I've been recommended, and it was good first experience

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—Yes I am! Because I know how to get a stunning picture, and I can show and teach it to my clients!

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—The most important is to send a message that you will feel the atmosphere of that day.

—Cestujete rádi?

—​Yes! I can travel all year, but only if I’m with my family. Travelling with them is the most valuable thing for me.

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—People, that see my pictures are saying – WOW! you got that image for us! That's wonderful! Thank you!

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—Deadlines, I'm trying my best that it won't get me in frustration. Also, I’m getting better and better every time.

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—I'm open for crytics.

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—I hope that I will be involved in it!

—Co není dovoleno při focení?

—Always smile! remember it!

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

—The best photographer doesn't exist, only styles! Today there are so many photographers, and each one has their own style. As long as you work hard to constantly grow and push yourself then you will be happy, your clients will be happy and you will become a great photographer.

—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—To select the photographer via his/her work and style and not the price, with out forgetting that they must connect.

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—You could say that it was hidden away inside me for a long time. Without realising I have always had a camera to hand since I was little. Love my dads Canon 650 EOS and always used to take it off his hands. Never thought that it would turn out to be something that I loved doing.

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—To be honest, no not really. That is why I hide behind the camera :P

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—A good photo has to have life in it. If a photo does not have a penetrating look, or the calmness of a smile, then for me that photo is not natural enough and that is what I always look for in my wedding photos.

—Cestujete rádi?

—I love new and unknown territories, this make you push your skills and ideas to the limits and keeps you improving. I have several trips lined up this year and cant wait to work somewhere new. And if it is for vacactional purpose, then without a doubt, but I can assure you that my camera will never leave my side.

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—The reaction when I hand my work in and the happiness it brings. I will love photography no matter what, and will always love it no matter what people say about my work. All photographers want to exceed their expectations, improve, update themselves, master new techniques, and we are very perfectionist when it comes down to our own work, so it is a fantastic feeling when others congratulate you on your efforts.

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—Nothing, I came from a financial work environment with a stressful background to something that I dreamt about doing for a long time. And when you manage to do something you dream about there will be some down moments but you remember what you are doing and why you are doing it, and that motivating crawls right back in and you thrive again.

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—Constructive criticism helps me improve, mature and evolve. There is always a positive way of looking at things, and criticism can be broken down and used in a positive manner.

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—Well who knows, it is constantly changing and there are so many different styles and techniques to choose from. But hopefully, it will become less fictional and more natural.

—Co není dovoleno při focení?

—Pressure on the bride and groom. In order to take the best and most natural shots we need the bride and groom to be as relaxed as possible. And also mobile and table devises. There are numerous of occasions when the groom could not see the bride walking down the isle due to the amount of people leaning out with their phones and tables.
