Fotograf Luigi Reccia

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

—I don't think I have the answer to this question. Every photographer has a different point of view, the beauty of this world is that you can learn something from everyone.

—Jste fotogeničtí?

—The only two people who said I'm beautiful are my mother and James Blunt.

—Jak jste se dostali do fotografického průmyslu?

—I started shooting pictures in 2009, I've been involved in music production for years and then in 2012 I started shooting weddings. I started as a second shooter for a friend and then little by little I built my own business.

—Jaké jsou podle vás nedůležitější součásti dobré fotografie?

—The moment between two moments.

—Cestujete rádi?

—I travel a lot, from the moment I wake up in the morning until I go to bed, every day. It doesn't matter if I use my car, a train, a plane or my mind. It's a lifetime trip.

—Co máte nejredši na vaší profesi?

—Being surrounded by happiness and nice people. The connection. Being together. The humanity needs to stay together and talk, touch, see, hear.

—Co se vám líbí nejméně na vaší profesi?

—Well I guess there's no perfect job in this world :)

—Jaká je budoucnost focení?

—Future doesn't exist (yet).

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

—There's nothing special about wedding photography. People make it special.

—Jak zvládáte kritiku?

—I take everything I can to improve my skills.
Sometimes I kidnap children and burn cars.
(Should I say I'm being ironic?)

—Jsou nějaké trendy v oblasti focení?

—It's a complicated business, growing year by year, changing forms constantly.

—Jaké by měl mít zákazník kritérium při výběru fotografa?

—Being emotionally involved in his/her pictures. Nothing else.

—Co není dovoleno při focení?

—Being a jerk, I think.

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

—An apparently meaningless moment can be captured forever with one click and being remembered for the rest of the life.

—Co ovlivňuje hodnotu fotografie? Jaké jsou její prvky?

—It's all about what people feel when they see that picture.

—Kdo může být podle vás symbolem 21. století?

—Not me for sure, I'm still working on it...

—Co chcete fotit?

—Myself.

—Máte nějaké profesní tabu?

—I don't touch wedding dresses.

—S kým byste chtěli fotit?

—Whoever wants to :)

—Čeho se bojíte a proč?

—I'm a restless mind. There's no reason for it and it took me years to understand it. I accepted it and I don't know why I'm like this. I'm worried about a lot of things every day, personal and in general about our future as human beings.

—Jaký byl nejpůsobivější okamžik ve vašem životě?

—When I lose everything and I started to know myself.

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

—The little Prince, of course!
Living on an asteroid, in the outer space, watching stars all the time, dreaming, being free...

—Kdo vás inspiruje ve vašem životě a proč?

—I have my grandfather's name. He has been the most influential person in my life. If I could have a time machine, I would like to go back when he was still on this earth and say him "look what I've become".

—Jak byste definovali úspěch? Jak ho měříte?

—Being a successful person is useless if you don't have respect for yourself and other people. So I can say that the successful person is the one who is also respectful and respected.

—Byli byste raději oblíbení nebo respektovaní?

—Read the previous one :)

—Jaká je největší chyba, kterou jste kdy v práci udělali?

—Being naive.

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

—A book, my compact camera and my diary for sure.
Just because I need to have time for myself.

—Existuje něco, co byste si byli raději nekoupili z vašich pomůcek, které vlastníte? A proč?

—I'm a left-handed person and I bought this rechargeable pen from moleskine, which is beautiful but it's a gel ink pen so everytime I write I get my diary, my hand and sometimes my clothes dirty.

—Jak se vzděláváte, abyste pořidili lepší fotografie?

—I go to seminars, I participate to conventions and other workshops, I watch movies and tv series, I read, I experience life.

—Čí práce vás ovlivnila nejvíce jako fotografa?

—My favorite wedding photographer right now is Giuseppe Marano, from Sicily.

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

—"Cameras are expensive."

—Co byste rádi řekli skrze vaše fotografie?

—I just want to tell a story in my way. I know pictures tell at the same time what we see and what we have inside. With my pictures I hope to know myself better than now.

—Co vás motivuje v dalším focení?

—I'm curious.

—Měli vaši rodiče být méně nebo více přísní?

—My parents are not perfect, their love made me the person I am just as their mistakes.
Oh, and they are rock 'n' roll too.

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

—I wouldn't change anything.

—Co o životě na ostatních planetách?

—I don't know what to think about the life on THIS planet.

—Kdo jsou vaši hrdinové?

—My father is my hero.

—Pro koho nemáte žádný respekt?

—False people above all.

—Co děláte ve svém volném čase?

—Reading, writing, having good time with my friends.

—Jakou vaši tvář nikdy neuvidí veřejnost?

—I am constantly divided in two different and opposite ways: if people see me happy, they don't see I could be sad, if they see me talking a lot, they don't know I would be silent instead.

—Kdy jste zcela spokojeni s vaší prací?

—When I know I could stop time at least in one picture.

—Věříte v tradiční role mužů a žen?

—Roles? Where we are going we don't need... roles!

—Získáváte snadno nové přátele?

—It depends, sometimes I'm very quick to empathize with people, other times it can take even years.

—Kde byste rádi žili?

—Wherever there's beauty around me.
But if I have to pick one, Amsterdam would be a choise.

—Nejlepší věc v životě je:

—Keep dreaming.

—Nejotravnější věc v životě je:

—Stop dreaming.

—Existuje něco, co byste chtěli změnit?

—My room is painted in a very ugly green.

—Co byste chtěli změnit na sobě?

—Sometimes I use irony to avoid questions.

—Co byste chtěli změnit ve světě?

—I would erase every kind of racism.

—Máte nějaké tipy pro začínající fotografy?

—Kdyby přišli na naši planetu mimozemšťané a vy byste byli první osobou, se kterou se potkají, co byste jim řekli?
