Photographe Anna Červinková

—Comment avez-vous commencé à travailler dans la photographie ?

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

—Selon vous, quels sont les éléments les plus importants d'une bonne photo ?

—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.

—Aimez-vous voyager ?

—I do. A LOT.

—Quel aspect de votre profession préférez-vous ?

—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.

—Quel aspect de votre profession aimez-vous le moins ?

—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!

—Comment gérez-vous les critiques ?

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

—Quels devraient être les critères pour qu'un client choisisse un photographe ?

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

—Quels sont les interdits lors de photographie ?

—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.

—Quels détails seul un photographe peut-il remarquer ?

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

—Quelle personne peut être le symbole du 21ème siècle selon vous ?

—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.

—Avez-vous des tabous professionnels ?

—I would never publish something uncomfortable for the model.

—Avec quel photographe aimeriez-vous faire une séance photo ?

—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.

—De quoi vous inquiétez-vous, et pourquoi ?

—Meaning of life and such things, usual stuff.

—Quel a été le moment le plus impressionnant de votre vie ?

—Everytime I set on a journey into unknown.

—Si vous étiez un personnage de dessin animé, de livre ou de film, qui seriez-vous et pourquoi ?

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

—Comment définissez-vous le succès ? Comment le mesurez-vous ?

—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.

—Quand vous partez en voyage que prenez-vous avec vous et pourquoi ?

—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.)

—Quelle méthode utilisez-vous pour améliorer vos prises de photo ?

—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.

—Quelle chose auriez-vous aimer connaître avant de vous lancer dans la photographie ?

—How extremely important it is to shoot RAW.

—Qu'aimeriez-vous dire avec vos photos ?

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

—Quelle est votre motivation pour continuer la photographie ?

—Visual fascination.

—Si vous pouviez revenir dans le temps, que changeriez-vous ?

—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.

—Qui sont vos héros ?

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

—Pour qui n'avez-vous aucun respect ?

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

—Que faites-vous pendant votre temps libre ?

—Sleep, ride my bike or walk in nature.

—Croyez-vous en le traditionalisme des rôles de l'homme et de la femme ?

—Being human.

—Préférez-vous les chats ou les chiens ?

—Cats cats cats cats cats cats cats!

—La plus belle chose de la vie est :

—Life.
