Photographer Erika Bacigálová

—First and foremost – whom can you name as the best photographer in Trnava, Slovakia? :)

—Ja by som vybrala seba, lebo som veľmi náročná a to očakávam aj od druhých :D

—Are you photogenic?

—Áno, ale po pôrode už radšej stojím za objektívom :D

—How did you get in the photography industry?

—Po svojej svadbe mi učarovalo fotografovanie a vtedy som si kúpila svoju prvú zrkadlovku. Od vtedy už prešlo veľa rokov a množstvo štúdia a hlavne množstvo skúseností na svadbách, ale i pri rodinných foteniach.

—What are the most important components of a good photo in your opinion?

—Dobrý fotograf a EMÓCIA – to je základ, pretože bez navodenia príjemnej atmosféry to žiaden fotoaparát nenafotí dobre.

—Do you love traveling?

—Áno a veľmi, raz by som chcela precestovať celý svet, len keby tých peňazí bolo dostatok :-/

—What do you like most about your profession?

—Veľmi rada som v dobrej spoločnosti a keď ide o dobrú zábavu ako na svadbách býva, som vo svojom živle :-) Rada pomáham s organizáciou a nevesty ocenia, keď som im po ruke s cennými radami, šikovnými ručičkami pri obliekaní a to najdôležitejšie, že všetko stihnem zachytiť ani by o tom vedeli :D

—How do you handle criticism?

—Uvolnené fotografie, plné emócií :-)
