Fotografas Kathryn Edwards

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

—Well that would be Kathryn Edwards of course! ;-)

—Ar esate fotogeniškas?

—Unusually for a photographer I quite like having my picture taken. Although I wouldn't say I am photogenic. I tend to just grin inanely at the camera or pout! haha! My profile picture is a rare photo my photographer friend caught of me off guard. Always the best ones!

—Kaip jūs atsiradote fotografijos industrijoje?

—Quite by accident really. It is a long story. But the short version is – I was 30, and the guest at many weddings that year, and sort of discovered photography during that year. It was a few years later that I decided to give wedding photography a go, and I have never looked back!

—Jūsų nuomone, kokie yra svarbiausi geros nuotraukos komponentai?

—Kuo ypatingas fotografijos žanras, kuriame jūs specializuojatės?

—Ar fotografijoje egzistuoja tendencijos?
