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

—There are some really good photographers here, each one with it's own style.

—Ar esate fotogeniškas?

—I usually look better on the othe side of the camera haha

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka labiausiai?

—For the wedding couple there's always the doubt of how are the photos going to be, but looking at their reaction and excitement once they see them it's one of things to feel thankful for.

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka mažiausiai?

—Bridezillas haha or sometimes the maid of honor. I know, I know; they want everything to be perfect on the big day, but hey, you have to trust me on this one, let the art behind the lenses flow!

—Kokia bus fotografijos ateitis?

—Hopefully better and better photographs, there's a little bit of doubt about photography and the upcoming technology, but I think the artsy element it's always going to be human, no matter what.

—Kuo ypatingas fotografijos žanras, kuriame jūs specializuojatės?

—It's more intimate, you get to know real people and as a photographer you have to become one with the wedding itself. Achieve that connection with groom and bride and also the guests.

—Kaip susitvarkote su kritika?

—Photography as an art has been always very subjective, but there's something no one can deny; a good photo is a good photo! Even if you can't explain it. Also in photography you never stop learning, so I don't take criticism too serious, just take the best part of it and forget the rest!

—Ar fotografijoje egzistuoja tendencijos?

—Yes, the same as any other style of photography or even art; there's always gonna be tendencies, some may follow them, some may not and some may create them.

—Read the bio, see their pictures and see if you really feel identified with that specific photographer, remember; is the best day of your life!

—Kokių dalykų turi būti vengiama fotografuojant?

—Not to be open to suggestions, I've seen a lot of photographers mounted on their egos, shooting their own style not paying attention to what the couple wants! Big mistake!

—Kokias detales, kurios paprastai būna nepastebėtos, gali pastebėti fotografas?

—Laughs, reactions, true feelings, a good photographer is able to capture the essence of the moment!
