Fotograf Kinga Leftska

—Først og fremmest - hvem kan du navngive som den bedste fotograf i Venedig, Italien? :)

—Can't tell... When there's many photographers in Venice there's only few good storytellers! I'm sure you'll find a right one – one who sees with a hear not just with a camera:)

—Er du fotogen?

—Am I? 0.0

—Hvordan blev du en del af fotografiindustrien?

—Ages ago when I was already into couples shoots one of my friends trusted me and asked me if I wanted to photograph their destination wedding. That's how it all started! I fell in love with white dresses and beautiful bouquets and right after my friends' wedding an avalanche of wedding requests started.

—Hvad er de vigtigste komponenter i et godt billede efter din mening?

—Candid moments. No posing. I hate posing! And light. Light is always important.

—Elsker du at rejse?

—I love travelling, I'm a freelance photographer not only for the sake of photography but also for the sake of travelling. I spend few months a year with my backpack!

—Hvad kan du bedst lide ved dit fag?

—FREEDOM! And the possibility of meeting cool new people from all over the world all the time.

—Hvad synes du mindre godt om ved dit fag?

—I hate it when someone tells me he booked another photographer who was cheaper even though he didn't like his work as much as mine. Why would you hire anyone at all then? Isn't it a complete waste of money in such case? My myself, I either hire someone whose work I'm totally in love with or I don't hire anyone at all.

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ud for fotografering?

—I hope it's not iPhone wedding photography eeek!

—Hvad er der specielt ved den fotografigenre, du specialiserer dig i?

—Candid moments. It really happens hardly ever that the couple is playing someone else as soon as they see the camera nearby.

—Hvordan håndterer du kritik?

—Can't remember anyone criticising my work haha! Hope it stays that way :) And when it comes to general criticism – I think i'm surrounded by good people rather than critics.

—Er der nogen tendenser inden for fotografering?

—There's been, there are and there will be trends. In photography and in any other field.

—Hvad bør kriterierne være for en kunde, der skal vælge en fotograf?

—Only THE STYLE. Not the budget. You don't want to cry over your wedding photos.

—Hvilke ting er slet ikke tilladt under fotograferingen?

—Lack of connection between the couple and the photographer!

—Hvilke detaljer, der som regel går ubemærket hen, vil en fotograf bemærke?

—Covering wedding photographers' cameras with your iPhone? We want to capture the first kiss, not a bunch of phones in the air.

—Hvad påvirker værdien af et foto? Hvilke elementer indeholder det?

—True moments, true smiles, real laughs, honest tears and natural light.

—Hvilken person kan være symbolet på det 21. århundrede efter din mening?

—Any person. We are all the creators of the 21st century.

—Har du nogen professionelle tabuemner?

—Hvad har været det mest imponerende øjeblik i dit liv?

—My partner asking me to marry him! (While getting this captured by our favourite photographer in the world:))

—Hvis du var en animeret figur, en fiktiv person eller en person i en film, hvem ville du så være, og hvorfor?

—I'd be King Julian because I can improvise his voice and be as silly as he is just to make other laugh ;) He also wears cool crowns doesn't he?! haha ;)

—Hvem inspirerer dig i dit liv, og hvorfor?

—My man. He's just the best and whatever goes wrong he can always make me feel better.

—Hvordan definerer du succes? Hvordan måler du det?

—Everyone masures success with his own measure. For me it's doing what I love, loving and being loved and travelling as often as possible.

—Foretrækker du, at folk kan lide dig, eller at de respekterer dig?

—I'd rather be respected. You can't be liked by everyone. No one is.

—Hvad er den største fejl, du nogensinde har begået i dit arbejde?

—Can't recall any.

—Når du skal rejse, hvad tager du så med dig, og hvorfor?

—My camera! Because I wouldn't remember everything so well.

—I think I like and use all the gadgets that I've ever brought.

—Hvordan uddanner du dig selv til at tage bedre billeder?

—I take part in world class workshops with my favourite photographers in Europe, North and South America.

—Hvis arbejde har haft størst indflydelse på dig som fotograf?

—Rafal Bojar, Luka Mario, Fer Juaristi, Sebastian Nandryka. They do more of an art rather than just clicks. They open people to get the true selves out of them.

—Hvad er det eneste, du ville ønske, du vidste, da du begyndte at tage billeder?

—Can't remember.

—Hvad vil du gerne fortælle med dine fotografier?

—I want to say that true love still exists

—I try to be honest. Always. Not sure there's anything I hide

—Hvornår er du helt tilfreds med dit arbejde?
