Fotografer Anna Červinková

—Bagaimana awal Anda masuk ke bidang fotografi?

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

—Apa komponen terpenting dari foto yang baik menurut Anda?

—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.

—Anda suka bepergian?

—I do. A LOT.

—Apa yang paling Anda suka tentang profesi Anda?

—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.

—Apa yang paling tidak Anda suka tentang profesi Anda?

—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!

—Bagaimana Anda menangani kritik?

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

—Apa yang seharusnya menjadi kriteria bagi pelanggan dalam memilih fotografer?

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

—Hal-hal apa yang harus dihindari saat pemotretan?

—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.

—Detail apa yang umumnya lewat tanpa disadari yang tertangkap oleh fotografer?

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

—Siapa yang dapat menjadi simbol abad ke-21 menurut pendapat Anda?

—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.

—Anda memiliki tabu profesi tertentu?

—I would never publish something uncomfortable for the model.

—Dengan siapa Anda ingin menjepret?

—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.

—Apa yang Anda khawatirkan, dan mengapa?

—Meaning of life and such things, usual stuff.

—Apa momen paling mengesankan dalam hidup Anda?

—Everytime I set on a journey into unknown.

—Jika Anda karakter kartun, buku, atau film, siapakah Anda dan mengapa?

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

—Bagaimana Anda mendefinisikan kesuksesan? Bagaimana Anda mengukurnya?

—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.

—Saat Anda akan bepergian, apa saja barang yang Anda bawa dan mengapa?

—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.)

—Bagaimana Anda mengajari diri sendiri untuk mengambil gambar yang lebih baik?

—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.

—Apakah satu hal yang Anda harap Anda tahu saat mulai mengambil foto?

—How extremely important it is to shoot RAW.

—Apa yang ingin Anda katakan dengan foto-foto Anda?

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

—Apa yang memotivasi Anda untuk terus mengambil gambar?

—Visual fascination.

—Jika Anda dapat kembali ke masa lalu, apa yang akan Anda lakukan secara berbeda?

—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.

—Siapa saja pahlawan Anda?

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

—Siapa yang tidak Anda hormati?

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

—Apa yang Anda lakukan di waktu luang?

—Sleep, ride my bike or walk in nature.

—Anda percaya akan peran tradisional untuk pria dan wanita?

—Being human.

—Anda suka anjing atau kucing?

—Cats cats cats cats cats cats cats!

—Hal terbaik dalam hidup itu:

—Life.
