Fotograaf Marina Rygalina

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

—I don't know my direct competition, since I am concentrating on my own professional development and growth

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

—I usually look good on pictures if I am not caught off guard:)

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—I was starting from Sensual Private Sessions, then was drawn into Beauty and Fashion Fields. At some point I was taking part in the shoots for the Wedding Dresses. I was fascinated by the beauty of the dresses, and realised that it is mainly the fairytale effect that I like, and it started showing in my pictures.

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—Emotions, composition, colour palette, light, decor elements

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—Yes, totally exciting. Now I live in a smaller town in the mountains and although it is great as a home, it makes me want to get out once in a while for a search of an adventure and beauty.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

—Creating Beauty. I see it everywhere and in almost everything and I like to show it through the lens...
I want other people to see it the way I see it.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

—It takes me some time before I can sit on a computer and go through pictures. I can not do it right away after the shoot. I tend to be very excited after the event and am liking everything, without criticism, it is hard to make a selection of the best pictures. But if I come back to them in a week, I tend to cool down with my emotions and I can look at my work objectively already.

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—Drone operated maybe????:)))

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—The situation is dynamic and you have less time to adjust to the fast changing conditions.

—Mida sa endaga reisides kaasa võtad ja miks?

—When travelling for work I take camera and off camera flash lights. As for leisure time, Iphone is enough, and lots of cloths and cosmetics of course.

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

—I was hesitant about which lens to get. I choose 50mm 1,4 lens, which is amazing for portraits, but you have to constantly move with it since it is not a zoom. Not sure if I would change it, but I would love to get an extra zoom lens.
Some studio lights were not really useful since I prefer to work on the go.

—Kuidas sa ennast koolitad, et paremaks fotograafiks saada?

—I observe what I like and do everything to figure out how was it done.I also like attending workshops of my favourite photographers cause you tend to see their direct approach and means of how they achieved it.
