—Pirmiausia ir svarbiausia – ką galite įvardinti kaip geriausią fotografą jūsų mieste? :)

—The best photographer doesn't exist, only styles! Today there are so many photographers, and each one has their own style. As long as you work hard to constantly grow and push yourself then you will be happy, your clients will be happy and you will become a great photographer.

—Kokie turėtų būti kliento kriterijai, kad pasirinkti fotografą?

—To select the photographer via his/her work and style and not the price, with out forgetting that they must connect.

—Kaip jūs atsiradote fotografijos industrijoje?

—You could say that it was hidden away inside me for a long time. Without realising I have always had a camera to hand since I was little. Love my dads Canon 650 EOS and always used to take it off his hands. Never thought that it would turn out to be something that I loved doing.

—Ar esate fotogeniškas?

—To be honest, no not really. That is why I hide behind the camera :P

—Jūsų nuomone, kokie yra svarbiausi geros nuotraukos komponentai?

—A good photo has to have life in it. If a photo does not have a penetrating look, or the calmness of a smile, then for me that photo is not natural enough and that is what I always look for in my wedding photos.

—Ar mėgstate keliauti?

—I love new and unknown territories, this make you push your skills and ideas to the limits and keeps you improving. I have several trips lined up this year and cant wait to work somewhere new. And if it is for vacactional purpose, then without a doubt, but I can assure you that my camera will never leave my side.

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka labiausiai?

—The reaction when I hand my work in and the happiness it brings. I will love photography no matter what, and will always love it no matter what people say about my work. All photographers want to exceed their expectations, improve, update themselves, master new techniques, and we are very perfectionist when it comes down to our own work, so it is a fantastic feeling when others congratulate you on your efforts.

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka mažiausiai?

—Nothing, I came from a financial work environment with a stressful background to something that I dreamt about doing for a long time. And when you manage to do something you dream about there will be some down moments but you remember what you are doing and why you are doing it, and that motivating crawls right back in and you thrive again.

—Kaip susitvarkote su kritika?

—Constructive criticism helps me improve, mature and evolve. There is always a positive way of looking at things, and criticism can be broken down and used in a positive manner.

—Kokia bus fotografijos ateitis?

—Well who knows, it is constantly changing and there are so many different styles and techniques to choose from. But hopefully, it will become less fictional and more natural.

—Kokių dalykų turi būti vengiama fotografuojant?

—Pressure on the bride and groom. In order to take the best and most natural shots we need the bride and groom to be as relaxed as possible. And also mobile and table devises. There are numerous of occasions when the groom could not see the bride walking down the isle due to the amount of people leaning out with their phones and tables.

—Ar galite duoti keletą patarimų tik pradedantiems fotografams?

—Study, practice, be humble, open to the world!

—Kaip jūs atsiradote fotografijos industrijoje?

—Probably in the same way of most of us: a friend asked me to shoot her wedding, then, since I had already a big passion about photography, after I saw that I enjoyed a lot to capture real moments, I decided-well actually together with my husband Graziano Guerini- to follow that path (step by step).

—Ar esate fotogeniškas?

—sure ;)

—Jūsų nuomone, kokie yra svarbiausi geros nuotraukos komponentai?

—I think there is not an exact answer, everyone likes a photo because of many reasons, also personal reasons given by personal taste.
Personally, using of course a good technique, I aim to capture always the emotions, the real moments, that's what really matters in a perfect service in my opinion.
And in the Creative Sessions I aim to create beautiful photos, so I take care of the esthetique by following my personal sense of taste, but always trying to give some emotions to the viewers.
Also controlling lights and shadows is very important, often essential.

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka labiausiai?

—Shooting weddings in different countries, with different traditions, it's very interesting, and we often work between Italy, Austria and Hungary, but not only.
And this job allows me to meet new people, of course, and this is also a beautiful side of being a wedding photographer.
And being able to give to these people memories they will be joyful to watch in the future, well, that makes me proud.

—Kaip susitvarkote su kritika?

—I'm always studying, always trying new things, and always following photographers whose works I love, and I'm always ready to learn from them.
There is always to learn something new, and there is always someone who can teach me something. So, I usually accept critics if well motivated :)

I was an amateur photographer and it was a simple hobby until I decided to take several photos during one of my friends' wedding. He ended up loving my photos more than the wedding photographer's and encouraged me to create a website. The rest is history.

—We are so fortunate to play a role in the union of two people that love each other and want to broadcast this to the world. We have the responsibility to capture these unique moments and offer them something they will cherish for the rest of their lives.
