写真家Tatsiana Avakyan氏

—最初に - イェーテボリ, スウェーデンで最高の写真家として誰の名前を挙げることができますか？:)

—This is a hard question, isn's it? It depends on so many aspects like style, editing, way you work with couple, vision, etc. I personally have some favourites whose works I admire, but I am keeping as a secret, I am letting everyone else to choose for themselves.

—写真写りは良い方ですか？

—From my childhood I have this idea in my head that I look horrible on pictures... you know fake smile from your first schoolbook picture? I generally consider myself as a non photogenic person. But I believe that anyone can look good on pictures if camera is in right hands.

—どうして写真撮影業界に入ったのですか？

—It all started in 2012, when I took my first dslr camera to my brothers wedding. I was following the photographer as her assistant, trying to find interesting angles, watching her work with the couple, asking million questions (I can only imagine how annoyed she must have been). I managed to take 3 really nice portraits from that day, which I still like now. This was how it all begun.

—あなたの職業について一番好きなことは何ですか？

Another favourite part of being a wedding photographer is constantly meeting new people, communicating, learning their stories.

—あなたの職業について一番嫌いなことは何ですか？
