Fotograf Mona Varga

—Er du fotogen?

—Is special the fact that you, as the newly weds photographer, have the most important part of their journey.

—Hvordan håndterer du kritik?

—I don't think anyone likes to be criticized, but as long as you receive constructive critics, I think it's only for the best. Because you, as a photographer get to evolve. And that can only be a positive thing.

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

—Small details. Instant moments and expressions. Feelings, looks, touches... everything. Common people are not looking at the art side of things. They only see the finished product and opine.

—Couples who care about each other, couples which look at each other with emotions. Cause when you love, everything is better. And most certainly the photos show it.

But I do have lots of photographers which I admire. And I adore their works.
