—How did you start working in the wedding photography field?

—I have always been a street photographer, a role which I find very challenging because of its unexpected along with the need of being always one step ahed, to anticipate, to be creative while keeping an aesthetic and an emotional flavor in my pictures. This kind of challenge I've found within wedding photography which with every assignment gives me the strength to break my own boundaries.

—What are the key elements that make a photo attractive?

—A good photo to me is the one which can pass even the smallest feeling to the one who watches it. A great picture is the one that every time you look at it you find something new and you ask yourself what was the photographer thinking of when he took it or how did he take it?

—What is there in your work that brings you joy?

—Photography makes me feel different in any way. No matter how many photographers you gather together in one place, asking them to take the same shot in the end you'll never have an identical picture, but every single one will have the touch of each individual photographer.

—My wife would say I am and I cannot debate too much with her on this subject. :-) I feel much better though while I find myself behind the camera than in front of it.

—Is it easy for you to make friends?

—I communicate easily, but I have just a few friends and I intend to stay like this. Friends to me are the ones you would die for just because they're your friends.

—What mistake in your professional experience you treat as the biggest one?

—I have tried to attend a wedding one week before the event. The good thing was it didn't happen one week after, isn't it? :-) In the end everything went perfect.

—Can you imagine what wedding photography will be like in future?

—I'm expecting wedding photography would bring more creativeness, more competitiveness among photographers and more educated customers who will demand more artistic pictures which would lead wedding photography to a higher level than it is nowadays.

—Is there anything in your work that you don't like or even hate?

—I don't like seeing people fighting on which gear is better tending to forget that gear sometimes comes even last in the whole scenario.

—What should future newlyweds pay attention to when looking for a wedding photographer?

—The first think is to know what they want followed by building a relationship with their desired photographer. Wedding photography cannot rely on a simple cost oriented transaction.

—How do you deal with criticism?
