Φωτογράφος Anna Červinková

—Πώς ξεκίνησες να ασχολείσαι με τη φωτογραφία;

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

—Ποια είναι τα πιο σημαντικά στοιχεία μιας καλής φωτογραφίας κατά τη γνώμη σας;

—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.

—Αγαπάτε τα ταξίδια;

—I do. A LOT.

—Τι σας αρέσει περισσότερο στο επάγγελμά σας;

—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.

—Τι σας αρέσει λιγότερο στο επάγγελμά σας;

—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!

—Πώς αντιμετωπίζετε την κριτική;

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

—Με ποια κριτήρια θα πρέπει ένας πελάτης να επιλέγει φωτογράφο;

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

—Ποια πράγματα δεν επιτρέπονται σε καμία περίπτωση κατά τη φωτογράφηση;

—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.

—Ποιες λεπτομέρειες που συνήθως περνούν απαρατήρητες μπορεί να παρατηρήσει ένας φωτογράφος;

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

—Ποιο πρόσωπο αποτελεί το σύμβολο του 21ου αιώνα κατά τη γνώμη σας;

—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.

—Έχετε επαγγελματικά ταμπού;

—I would never publish something uncomfortable for the model.

—Με ποιους σας αρέσει να τραβάτε φωτογραφίες;

—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.

—Τι σας ανησυχεί και γιατί;

—Meaning of life and such things, usual stuff.

—Ποια ήταν η πιο εντυπωσιακή στιγμή στη ζωή σας;

—Everytime I set on a journey into unknown.

—Εάν ήσασταν ένας λογοτεχνικός ή κινηματογραφικός χαρακτήρας ποιος θα θέλατε να είσαστε και γιατί;

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

—Ποιος είναι ο ορισμός της επιτυχίας; Πώς μετριέται η επιτυχία;

—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.

—Όταν πρόκειται να ταξιδέψετε, τι παίρνετε μαζί σας και γιατί;

—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.)

—Πώς εκπαιδεύετε τον εαυτό σας για να μάθει να παίρνει καλύτερες φωτογραφίες;

—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.

—Τι εύχεστε να γνωρίζατε όταν ξεκινήσατε να τραβάτε φωτογραφίες;

—How extremely important it is to shoot RAW.

—Τι θέλετε να πείτε με τις φωτογραφίες σας;

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

—Τι σας παρακινεί να συνεχίσετε να τραβάτε φωτογραφίες;

—Visual fascination.

—Εάν μπορούσατε να πάτε πίσω στο χρόνο, τι θα κάνετε διαφορετικά;

—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.

—Ποιοι είναι οι ήρωες σας;

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

—Για ποιον δεν έχετε καθόλου σεβασμό;

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

—Τι κάνετε στον ελεύθερο χρόνο σας;

—Sleep, ride my bike or walk in nature.

—Πιστεύετε στους παραδοσιακούς ρόλους για τους άνδρες και τις γυναίκες;

—Being human.

—Συμπαθείτε τα σκυλιά ή τις γάτες;

—Cats cats cats cats cats cats cats!

—Το καλύτερο πράγμα στη ζωή είναι:

—Life.
