Fotogrāfs Brita B

—Kuri, Tavuprāt, ir svarīgākie labas fotogrāfijas elementi?

—Quality, good light, but first and foremost emotion!

—Vai Tu mīli ceļošanu?

—Absolutely!

—Kas Tev vislabāk patīk savā profesijā?

—It's never the same, it's always somewhat challenging, so I never get bored, but I mostly love the fact that I can see how I improve myself with every single photograph.

—Kas Tavā profesijā Tev patīk vismazāk?

—Sometimes it's the endless hours of photo editing.

—Kāda būs fotogrāfijas nākotne?

—Too insane to imagine.

—Kas ir īpašs fotogrāfijas žanrā, kurā specializējies?

—I love capturing people's real emotions. My photoshoots involve short walks, dancing, playfullness, movement etc. All of it makes it so much more real and special.

—Kā Tu uztver kritiku?

—At frst I laugh, cry, hate all at the same time for a brief second and then I try to understand the critizism, is it a reliable source to change something, to learn from it and is it something I benefit from.
Because sometimes criticism comes from clients who simply want to haggle with price.

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

—Portfolio is a big part of it, but make sure you like the person!Now matter how well a photographer offers you guidance or ideas during the photo shoot, if you don't feel comfortable with them, you won't get the desired result.

—No kā fotogrāfējot būtu jāizvairās?

—Starting to shoot from minute 1. If I have new clients, I take 10 minutes to walk to the destination and simply chat. With those ten minutes they forget that I am a stranger and real peronalities and emotions start to surface.

—Kādus parasti nepamanītus brīžus var notvert fotogrāfs?

—I always notice bad posture or tension. I have my own little tricks to eliminate such things.

—Ar ko Tu kopā vēlētos fotogrāfēt?

—Rankin, I'd be happy to just look at him shoot too.

—Kas Tevi iedvesmo dzīvē un kāpēc?

—Jane Goodall, for me she reminds us that we are guests on this planet and that we should take care of life that we so eagerly want to destroy.

—Kā Tu definētu veiksmi? Vai to var izmērīt?

—Success = satisfaction
You measure it with your own happiness.

—Vai Tev labāk patīk tikt mīlētam vai tikt cienītam?

—Respected, simply likeness is so much easier to achieve.

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

—Camera and drone gear. I don't think I need to explain.

—Kā Tu mācies, lai uzņemtu arvien labākas fotogrāfijas?

—Practice, practice, practice and at least once a year I try to take an interesting new class.
Also, working with other photographers and scrolling through good photography on Instagram is a good way to get the idea juices flowing.

—Kas ir tā lieta, ko Tu būtu gribējis zināt pirms sāki nodarboties ar fotogrāfēšanu?

—Editing tricks I know now.

—Ko Tu vēlies pastāstīt ar savām fotogrāfijām?

—World can be a happy and joyful place.

—Kas Tevi motivē turpināt uzņemt fotogrāfijas?

—My own improvement in it.

—Ja Tu varētu ceļot atpakaļ laikā, ko Tu darītu savādāk?

—I would not spend money on unnecessary gear.

—Ko Tu domā par dzīvi uz citām planētām?

—Wish I could photograph it ;)

—Ko Tu necieni?

—Peope who complain about things they could change while sitting down and doing nothing.

—Kad Tu esi pilnībā apmierināts ar savu darbu?

—This happens very rarely. I'm very happy with my work pretty much all the time, but I feel like there is always space for improvement. I could be doing this for 60 years and I would still feel te same way.

—Vai Tu tici tradicionālajam lomu sadalījumam starp vīrieti un sievieti?

—What's traditional? What does it mean? Traditions are different all over the world, they mostly come into our lives trhough media, through other people or from a different timeframe. If people and pretty much everything else evolve with time, why shouldn't the roles for men and women. So no, I do not believe in them in a way that makes the media a clickmagnet nowadays. I trust in nature and I believe men and women are different, they should celebrate it, but their right to do things have to be equal!

—Vai Tu vienkārši sadraudzējies?

—50/50

—Kas Tev patīk labāk - kaķi vai suņi?

—Dogs all the way.

—Vai ir kaut kas vai kāds, ko Tu ienīsti?

—Broccoli

—Labākā lieta dzīvē ir:

—Now

—Kaitinošākā lieta dzīvē ir:

—When you are stuck with a problem that's out of your hands.

—Kādi būtu Tavi padomi jaunajiem fotogrāfiem?

—Don't be afraid.
If you mess it up, do it again.
Have a back up plan.
PRACTICE

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

—I am such a curious person I'd probably have a week long converstion about them, their life and where they come from. I hope their friendly tourists in that case :D

—Ja Tev būtu iespēja uzņemt filmu, kāda žanra filma tā būtu?

—Action! I love the intence and diverce camerawork. That gengre gives plenty of opportunities to do it.
