Fotografo Anna Červinková

—Come sei entrato nell'industria della fotografia?

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

—Secondo te, quali sono le componenti più importanti di una bella foto?

—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.

—Ti piace viaggiare?

—I do. A LOT.

—Che cosa ti piace di più nella tua professione?

—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.

—Che cosa ti piace di meno nella tua professione?

—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!

—Come gestisci la critica?

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

—Quali criteri dovrebbe utilizzare un cliente per scegliere un fotografo?

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

—Che cosa non è ammesso durante la ripresa fotografica?

—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.

—Quali dettagli, che solitamente passano inosservati, riesce a notare un fotografo?

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

—Secondo te, chi può essere considerato simbolo del XXI secolo?

—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.

—Hai qualche tabù professionale?

—I would never publish something uncomfortable for the model.

—Con chi vorresti fare una sessione di ripresa fotografica?

—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.

—Che cosa ti fa preoccupare e perché?

—Meaning of life and such things, usual stuff.

—Qual è stato il momento più impressionante della tua vita?

—Everytime I set on a journey into unknown.

—Se tu fossi un personaggio di cartone animato, libro o film, chi saresti e perché?

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

—Come puoi definire il successo? Come si misura?

—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.

—Preparandoti per partire, che cosa metteresti in valigia e perché?

—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.)

—Che formazione professionale segui per fare fotografie migliori?

—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.

—Qual è l'unica cosa che vorresti aver saputo iniziando a scattare foto?

—How extremely important it is to shoot RAW.

—Che cosa vuoi dire con le tue fotografie?

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

—Qual è la tua motivazione per continuare a scattare fotografie?

—Visual fascination.

—Se potessi tornare nel passato, che cosa faresti in modo diverso?

—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.

—Chi sono i tuoi eroi?

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

—Per chi non hai rispetto?

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

—Che cosa fai nel tuo tempo libero?

—Sleep, ride my bike or walk in nature.

—Credi nei ruoli tradizionali di donne e uomini?

—Being human.

—Ti piacciono i cani o i gatti?

—Cats cats cats cats cats cats cats!

—La cosa migliore nella vita è:

—Life.
