Rozhovor
-
—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?
—Quality, good light, but first and foremost emotion!
-
—Cestujete rádi?
—Absolutely!
-
—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?
—It's never the same, it's always somewhat challenging, so I never get bored, but I mostly love the fact that I can see how I improve myself with every single photograph.
-
—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?
—Sometimes it's the endless hours of photo editing.
-
—Jaká je budoucnost focení?
—Too insane to imagine.
-
—Co je výjimečného na žánru fotografií, na který se specializujete?
—I love capturing people's real emotions. My photoshoots involve short walks, dancing, playfullness, movement etc. All of it makes it so much more real and special.
-
—Jak zvládáte kritiku?
—At frst I laugh, cry, hate all at the same time for a brief second and then I try to understand the critizism, is it a reliable source to change something, to learn from it and is it something I benefit from.
Because sometimes criticism comes from clients who simply want to haggle with price. -
—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?
—Portfolio is a big part of it, but make sure you like the person!Now matter how well a photographer offers you guidance or ideas during the photo shoot, if you don't feel comfortable with them, you won't get the desired result.
-
—Co není dovoleno při focení?
—Starting to shoot from minute 1. If I have new clients, I take 10 minutes to walk to the destination and simply chat. With those ten minutes they forget that I am a stranger and real peronalities and emotions start to surface.
-
—Jakých detailů, které obvykle projdou bez povšimnutí, si může fotograf všimnout?
—I always notice bad posture or tension. I have my own little tricks to eliminate such things.

—S kým byste chtěli fotit?
—Rankin, I'd be happy to just look at him shoot too.

You measure it with your own happiness. -
—Byli byste raději oblíbení nebo respektovaní?

-
—Jak se vzděláváte, abyste pořidili lepší fotografie?

Also, working with other photographers and scrolling through good photography on Instagram is a good way to get the idea juices flowing. -

-

-
—Věříte v tradiční role mužů a žen?
—What's traditional? What does it mean? Traditions are different all over the world, they mostly come into our lives trhough media, through other people or from a different timeframe. If people and pretty much everything else evolve with time, why shouldn't the roles for men and women. So no, I do not believe in them in a way that makes the media a clickmagnet nowadays. I trust in nature and I believe men and women are different, they should celebrate it, but their right to do things have to be equal!

Have a back up plan.
PRACTICE -
—Kdyby přišli na naši planetu mimozemšťané a vy byste byli první osobou, se kterou se potkají, co byste jim řekli?
