Fotograf Eugene Nyathi

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—Hahaha ... when I take the photo "yes" but when someone else take the photo nope!!

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—I needed a hobby to relieve me from a stress filled life. I needed to do something that wasn't "work" ....

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—The emotion of the photo ... its voice, what it says!

—Cestujete rádi?

—O yes....and boy do i travel...haven't done the Asian countries yet but am sure one day I will .... am waiting for an opportunity to travel again to Paris...been there before but long ago and without a camera then.

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—Meeting people .... especially new people, they all have their own unique story.

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—Making a decision to choose between 2 similar photographs!!

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—It will always be to make people happy.

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

—The ability to be a part of two people who are starting out together ... being trusted to record that memory.

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—Its never easy to be criticised ... I however ask myself what is the purpose of the criticism. I learn through being encouraged, infact I grow leaps and bounds when I am encouraged but criticism has the same effect for me. So I may drag my lip for a day but soon I rise up and keep walking.

—Jsou nějaké trendy v oblasti focení?

—Yes there are....trends are fine, but I prefer classic styles that remain because trends come and go and I believe the foundation of my photography must be based on the clear basic photography truths.

—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—A photographer who they click with ... you can't say "this pathetic, useless, unreliable photographer did our wedding and did these beautiful photos....the photographer becomes part of the memory.

—Co není dovoleno při focení?

—It all depends on which part of the shoot I am doing...I communicate verbally when its needed but I don't allow myself to be a chatter box... I don't chew gum when shooting either....or headphones during shooting, evening answering calls or texting....no, no, no.

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

—That moment when the bride walks in and the grooms face lights up...everyone at that moment is fixed on the bride but there is of course the groom, the parents, watching their daughter walking down that aisle. The detail of the wedding gown and all the accessories that come with it. As a photographer, I have been behind the scenes with the couple to I am aware of their challenges up to this moment and very emotion at that moment makes sense.

—Čeho se bojíte a proč?

—Jak byste definovali úspěch? Jak ho měříte?

—Success is being brave enough to follow your heart, its measured by the satisfaction it brings to my life.

—Respected. Respect is earned, you can be liked today and unliked tomorrow. Respect however means your life has been watched and evaluated by those around you.

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