—Kā tu nokļuvi fotogrāfijas jomā?

—On the age of 16 I started my first job at a photo studio where I learned all sorts of photography and also weddings. The first years I was a assistend and enjoyed the weddings a lot, the energy the love the fun!

—Vai Tu esi fotogēnisks?

—Well let I be honest yes I'am..... but that's in my dream ;-) glad I'm at the other side of the lens.

—Kuri, Tavuprāt, ir svarīgākie labas fotogrāfijas elementi?

—I think it needs a great moment, so you can not only see the love but also feel it!

—Yeah I do, to explore new wedding location is amazing!

—paying taxes

—Kā Tu uztver kritiku?

—I think it's very important to keep growing

—No kā fotogrāfējot būtu jāizvairās?

—We think we do need no other families or friends to shoot with the Iphones among us, we can do it no worries :-) just enjoy the day

—Kāda būs fotogrāfijas nākotne?

—Wedding photography will even get better than it's already is

—Kas ir īpašs fotogrāfijas žanrā, kurā specializējies?

—We now see a lot of outdoor wedding ceremony's during the golden hour (sundown) That's something new for us but we like it a lot. We can't have a better light

—Pirmkārt un galvenokārt - kurš Tavuprāt ir labākais fotogrāfs Tavā pilsētā? :)

—Well, it all depends on who you ask.
What is the best car in the world ? Everyone just sees things differently and especially in photography which is an art in itself, where everything is subjective, ask 10 people this question and probably you will get 11 different answers ! :)

—Kādi ir kritēriji, kas klientam jāņem vērā, izvēloties fotogrāfu?

—If there is one thing I always encourage newlyweds to do when looking for a wedding photographer is to pay very good attention to the portfolios and see which style would suit them and most importantly when meeting a wedding photographer – have him show a full wedding coverage and not get "fooled" by the best 2-3 photos everyone uploads online.

—Kā tu nokļuvi fotogrāfijas jomā?

—It was back in 2007 I think ... photography was already a hobby for me and as I already had a "decent" DSLR kit ( by those times' standards ) a friend of mine ( who was a videographer ) asked me to go with him and shoot some christenings. I was scared as hell thinking I have a huge responsibility but everything went well and then I moved to weddings, still shooting for him as I didn't have any portfolio. The next year I started going solo and ... 10 years later here we are.

—Vai Tu esi fotogēnisks?

—Never :)

—Kuri, Tavuprāt, ir svarīgākie labas fotogrāfijas elementi?

—Besides the basic technical stuff – composition and message/feeling are by far the key elements of an attractive wedding photograph.

—Vai Tu mīli ceļošanu?

—Sure, who doesn't ?
Although I shot quite a few after wedding session abroad with just the bride and groom, I would love to be able to shoot a full destination wedding sometime.

—Kas Tev vislabāk patīk savā profesijā?

—Happiness in the client's eyes when they look at their wedding photos for the first time.

—Kas Tavā profesijā Tev patīk vismazāk?

—Hmm tough one...
If I'd had to choose, it would probably the fact that I have to refuse some clients that reeeeealy want me as their wedding photographer, because I already booked their wedding date for someone else.

—Kā Tu uztver kritiku?

—I embrace it – it's the only way we move up the ladder.

—Kāda būs fotogrāfijas nākotne?

—Probably not much would change – no matter how advanced the cameras will get. A strong and great wedding image from the 50s is still great today so I can only image – the things that bring value to an image will stay constant over time.

—No kā fotogrāfējot būtu jāizvairās?

—Photography is an art – no doubt about that and I find it unacceptable for a client to give the photographer exact and strict examples of they want their wedding images to look like, by bringing photos from other photographers around the world and setting stirct guidelines and boundaries regarding their own images. A photographer should be hired if you liked his own style, not to reproduce someone else's work.

—Vai Tev labāk patīk tikt mīlētam vai tikt cienītam?

—Kad Tu plāno ceļot, ko Tu ņem līdzi un kāpēc?

—Ja uz zemes nolaistos citplanētieši un Tu būtu pirmais, ko viņi satiktu, ko Tu viņiem teiktu?

—Namaste :)
