Fotograaf Brita B

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—Quality, good light, but first and foremost emotion!

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—Absolutely!

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

—It's never the same, it's always somewhat challenging, so I never get bored, but I mostly love the fact that I can see how I improve myself with every single photograph.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

—Sometimes it's the endless hours of photo editing.

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—Too insane to imagine.

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—I love capturing people's real emotions. My photoshoots involve short walks, dancing, playfullness, movement etc. All of it makes it so much more real and special.

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

—At frst I laugh, cry, hate all at the same time for a brief second and then I try to understand the critizism, is it a reliable source to change something, to learn from it and is it something I benefit from.
Because sometimes criticism comes from clients who simply want to haggle with price.

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

—Portfolio is a big part of it, but make sure you like the person!Now matter how well a photographer offers you guidance or ideas during the photo shoot, if you don't feel comfortable with them, you won't get the desired result.

—Mida pildistades kindlasti ei tohiks teha?

—Starting to shoot from minute 1. If I have new clients, I take 10 minutes to walk to the destination and simply chat. With those ten minutes they forget that I am a stranger and real peronalities and emotions start to surface.

—Mis võiksid olla need detailid, millele tavaliselt tähelepanu ei pöörata, kuid mida fotograaf võib märgata?

—I always notice bad posture or tension. I have my own little tricks to eliminate such things.

—Kellega koos sa tahaksid pildistada?

—Rankin, I'd be happy to just look at him shoot too.

—Kes sind su elus inspireerib ja miks?

—Jane Goodall, for me she reminds us that we are guests on this planet and that we should take care of life that we so eagerly want to destroy.

—Kuidas sa defineeriksid edu? Kuidas sa seda mõõdad?

—Success = satisfaction
You measure it with your own happiness.

—Kas sa tahaksid, et sa pigem meeldiksid inimestele või et nad austaksid sind?

—Respected, simply likeness is so much easier to achieve.

—Mida sa endaga reisides kaasa võtad ja miks?

—Camera and drone gear. I don't think I need to explain.

—Kuidas sa ennast koolitad, et paremaks fotograafiks saada?

—Practice, practice, practice and at least once a year I try to take an interesting new class.
Also, working with other photographers and scrolling through good photography on Instagram is a good way to get the idea juices flowing.

—Mis oleks see üks asi, mida sa sooviksid, et oleks teadnud enne fotograafiaga alustamist?

—Editing tricks I know now.

—Mida sa oma fotodega öelda soovid?

—World can be a happy and joyful place.

—Mis motiveerib sind fotograafina jätkama?

—My own improvement in it.

—Kui sa saaksid ajas tagasi minna, mida sa teeksid erinevalt?

—I would not spend money on unnecessary gear.

—Kas sa arvad, et teistel planeetidel on elu?

—Wish I could photograph it ;)

—Keda sa ei austa?

—Peope who complain about things they could change while sitting down and doing nothing.

—Millal sa oled oma tööga täiesti rahul?

—This happens very rarely. I'm very happy with my work pretty much all the time, but I feel like there is always space for improvement. I could be doing this for 60 years and I would still feel te same way.

—Kas sa usud meeste ja naiste traditsioonilistesse rollidesse?

—What's traditional? What does it mean? Traditions are different all over the world, they mostly come into our lives trhough media, through other people or from a different timeframe. If people and pretty much everything else evolve with time, why shouldn't the roles for men and women. So no, I do not believe in them in a way that makes the media a clickmagnet nowadays. I trust in nature and I believe men and women are different, they should celebrate it, but their right to do things have to be equal!

—Kas sa leiad kergesti sõpru?

—50/50

—Kas sulle meeldivad koerad või kassid?

—Dogs all the way.

—Keda või mida sa vihkad?

—Broccoli

—Parim asi elus on:

—Now

—Kõige ärritavam asi elus on:

—When you are stuck with a problem that's out of your hands.

—Kas sa võiksid anda mõned näpunäited alustavatele fotograafidele?

—Don't be afraid.
If you mess it up, do it again.
Have a back up plan.
PRACTICE

—Kui Maale saabuksid tulnukad ja sina oleksid esimene inimene, keda nad kohtaksid, mida sa neile ütleksid?

—I am such a curious person I'd probably have a week long converstion about them, their life and where they come from. I hope their friendly tourists in that case :D

—Kui sul oleks võimalik vändata film, siis mis žanrist see oleks?

—Action! I love the intence and diverce camerawork. That gengre gives plenty of opportunities to do it.
