Fotógrafo Anna Červinková

—¿Cómo empezó a trabajar en la industria de fotografía?

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

—¿En su opinión, cuáles son los elementos más importantes de una buena fotografía?

—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.

—¿Le gusta viajar?

—I do. A LOT.

—¿Qué le gusta más de su profesión?

—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.

—¿Qué le gusta menos de su profesión?

—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!

—¿Cómo gestiona las críticas?

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

—¿Qué criterios debería tener en cuenta una persona a la hora de elegir a un fotógrafo?

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

—¿Qué no está permitido de ningún modo cuando realiza una fotografía?

—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.

—¿Qué detalles que normalmente no tenemos en cuenta puede un fotógrafo captar?

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

—En su opinión, ¿qué persona podría ser un símbolo del siglo XXI?

—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.

—¿Tiene tabúes profesionales?

—I would never publish something uncomfortable for the model.

—¿Con quién le gustaría fotografiar?

—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.

—¿Qué le preocupa y por qué?

—Meaning of life and such things, usual stuff.

—¿Cuál ha sido el momento más impactante de su vida?

—Everytime I set on a journey into unknown.

—Si fuera un personaje de animación, literario o cinematográfico, ¿quién le gustaría ser y por qué?

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

—¿Cómo definiría el éxito? ¿Cómo lo mide?

—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.

—Cuando va de viaje, ¿qué lleva consigo y por qué?

—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.)

—¿Cómo se forma para tomar las mejores imágenes?

—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.

—¿Cuál es la única cosa que desearía haber sabido cuando comenzó a tomar fotografías?

—How extremely important it is to shoot RAW.

—¿Qué desea decir con sus fotografías?

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

—¿Qué le motiva a continuar tomando imágenes?

—Visual fascination.

—¿Si pudiera volver atrás en el tiempo, qué haría de forma diferente?

—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.

—¿Quiénes son sus héroes?

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

—¿Por quién no siente respeto?

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

—¿Qué hace en su tiempo libre?

—Sleep, ride my bike or walk in nature.

—¿Cree en los roles tradicionales de hombres y mujeres?

—Being human.

—¿Le gustan los perros o los gatos?

—Cats cats cats cats cats cats cats!

—Lo mejor de su vida es:

—Life.
