Fotograf Anna Červinková

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—Someone asked me once to shoot their wedding.. haven't stopped since & it's been now over 7 years.

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—Feelings. I love when my photos help people to recall their precious moments or even people who were absent on the occasion can sense the essence of it. A good photo should speak to them all.

—Cestujete rádi?

—I do. A LOT.

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—I love going to places and meeting new people on one of the most important days in their life. The emotions are almost tangible! Sometimes we meet just briefly in the hurry of the day, but I love to blend with the crowd and be a silent observer of all the beauty and joy around.

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—Editing cave.. spending weeks in row to edit and deliver the images as I do all my editing. But on the other hand I love when I download the images right after the shoot and spend just hours experimenting with edits and swooning over new photos!

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—I love to recieve feedback, learn form it and grow!

—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—How connected they feel to the photos and stories he/she shares.

—Co není dovoleno při focení?

—Everything that suits the couple is allowed. As for me, I request to be the only photographer (with my co-shooter) during the ceremony, so wedding guests can be fully present and enjoy the ceremony.

—Jakých detailů, které obvykle projdou bez povšimnutí, si může fotograf všimnout?

—I love catching those candid moments, non staged or posed – kids running around, people interacting, small details which make the wedding story so honest.

—Kdo může být podle vás symbolem 21. století?

—Every single one. This century is more than ever before focused on individuality and with the spread of social media every single person matters and can have a voice.

—Máte nějaké profesní tabu?

—I would never publish something uncomfortable for the model.

—S kým byste chtěli fotit?

—Everyone who wants to create something together. I love people contributing and helping with the shoot. Sometimes I wonder that the final image doesn't belong to a photographer at all with all those talented people in the background.

—Čeho se bojíte a proč?

—Meaning of life and such things, usual stuff.

—Jaký byl nejpůsobivější okamžik ve vašem životě?

—Everytime I set on a journey into unknown.

—Pokud byste byli animovaná, literární nebo filmová postava, kdo byste byli a proč?

—I just love Aragorn from Lord of the Rings. So mysterious yet so kind and wise.

—Jak byste definovali úspěch? Jak ho měříte?

—Success is when a person loves what you do. And it can be your grandma, your parents or boyfriend, random people on the internet or big crowds. No matter how 'big' these people are, if what you do speaks to others, that is success. Some people just crawl for bigger success and don't realize how successful and gifted they already are or what they're missing on.

—Když cestujete, co si berete s sebou a proč?

—As little as possible. And that apply to life as well. After all, what is life than one big travel?
On my travels I realised, that the less you carry, the less you have to care about, the more you can immerse into the everyday experience instead. (For example – one pair of the trousers&one dress makes outfit choices so much easier.)

—Jak se vzděláváte, abyste pořidili lepší fotografie?

—Constantly learning from every picture I take, from pictures taken by others and by simly looking around and observing. Training your eye is the key.

—Jedna věc, kterou byste si přáli vědět, když jste začínali s focením?

—How extremely important it is to shoot RAW.

—Co byste rádi řekli skrze vaše fotografie?

—My photographs are far from saying, they're more about feeling. I hope.

—Co vás motivuje v dalším focení?

—Visual fascination.

—Pokud byste se mohli vrátit v čase, co byste udělali jinak?

—Nothing, because it wouldn't make me the person I am today. I don't really recognize mistakes in my life, it's just life, learning and trying, failing and improving.

—Kdo jsou vaši hrdinové?

—There might come a row of fantasy characters. Am I too old for that?

—Pro koho nemáte žádný respekt?

—For authorities. We're all human and sometimes school kid can have more wisdom than politician or teacher.

—Co děláte ve svém volném čase?

—Sleep, ride my bike or walk in nature.

—Věříte v tradiční role mužů a žen?

—Being human.

—Máte rádi psy a kočky?

—Cats cats cats cats cats cats cats!

—Nejlepší věc v životě je:

—Life.
