Fotograaf Kinga Leftska

—Ennekõike - keda sa nimetaksid parimaks fotograafiks oma linnas? :)

—Can't tell... When there's many photographers in Venice there's only few good storytellers! I'm sure you'll find a right one – one who sees with a hear not just with a camera:)

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

—Am I? 0.0

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—Ages ago when I was already into couples shoots one of my friends trusted me and asked me if I wanted to photograph their destination wedding. That's how it all started! I fell in love with white dresses and beautiful bouquets and right after my friends' wedding an avalanche of wedding requests started.

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—Candid moments. No posing. I hate posing! And light. Light is always important.

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—I love travelling, I'm a freelance photographer not only for the sake of photography but also for the sake of travelling. I spend few months a year with my backpack!

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

—FREEDOM! And the possibility of meeting cool new people from all over the world all the time.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

—I hate it when someone tells me he booked another photographer who was cheaper even though he didn't like his work as much as mine. Why would you hire anyone at all then? Isn't it a complete waste of money in such case? My myself, I either hire someone whose work I'm totally in love with or I don't hire anyone at all.

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—I hope it's not iPhone wedding photography eeek!

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—Candid moments. It really happens hardly ever that the couple is playing someone else as soon as they see the camera nearby.

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

—Can't remember anyone criticising my work haha! Hope it stays that way :) And when it comes to general criticism – I think i'm surrounded by good people rather than critics.

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

—There's been, there are and there will be trends. In photography and in any other field.

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

—Only THE STYLE. Not the budget. You don't want to cry over your wedding photos.

—Mida pildistades kindlasti ei tohiks teha?

—Lack of connection between the couple and the photographer!

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

—Covering wedding photographers' cameras with your iPhone? We want to capture the first kiss, not a bunch of phones in the air.

—Mis teeb fotost väärtusliku? Mis elemendid on olulised?

—True moments, true smiles, real laughs, honest tears and natural light.

—Milline inimene on sinu arvates 21. sajandi sümbol?

—Any person. We are all the creators of the 21st century.

—Keda sa sooviksid pildistada?

—Honest people who trust me and my skills.

—Kas sul on teatud ametialaseid tabusid?

—I don't

—Kellega koos sa tahaksid pildistada?

—There's only a few world class photographers I'd like to work with.

—Mille pärast sa muretsed ja miks?

—I worry my life is to short to see each and every piece of the world

—Mis on olnud su elu kõige kõige muljetavaldavam hetk?

—My partner asking me to marry him! (While getting this captured by our favourite photographer in the world:))

—Kui sa oleksid tegelane multikast, raamatust või filmist, siis kes sa oleksid ja miks?

—I'd be King Julian because I can improvise his voice and be as silly as he is just to make other laugh ;) He also wears cool crowns doesn't he?! haha ;)

—Kes sind su elus inspireerib ja miks?

—My man. He's just the best and whatever goes wrong he can always make me feel better.

—Kuidas sa defineeriksid edu? Kuidas sa seda mõõdad?

—Everyone masures success with his own measure. For me it's doing what I love, loving and being loved and travelling as often as possible.

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

—I'd rather be respected. You can't be liked by everyone. No one is.

—Mis on suurim viga, mida sa töötades oled teinud?

—Can't recall any.

—Mida sa endaga reisides kaasa võtad ja miks?

—My camera! Because I wouldn't remember everything so well.

—Kas sul on mõni vidin, mida sa omad, aga sooviksid, et poleks ostnud? Miks?

—I think I like and use all the gadgets that I've ever brought.

—Kuidas sa ennast koolitad, et paremaks fotograafiks saada?

—I take part in world class workshops with my favourite photographers in Europe, North and South America.

—Kelle töö on sind kui fotograafi kõige rohkem mõjutanud?

—Rafal Bojar, Luka Mario, Fer Juaristi, Sebastian Nandryka. They do more of an art rather than just clicks. They open people to get the true selves out of them.

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

—Can't remember.

—Mida sa oma fotodega öelda soovid?

—I want to say that true love still exists

—Mis motiveerib sind fotograafina jätkama?

—People! My couples! The happiness that they share!

—Millist poolt sinust avalikkus kunagi ei näe?

—I try to be honest. Always. Not sure there's anything I hide

—Millal sa oled oma tööga täiesti rahul?

—Hardly ever – even when my clients shred tears of joy when receiving the final images. I always think something could be done better. It's just about being ambitious when it comes to photography I guess?:)
