Fotogrāfs Filip Gržinčić

—Vai Tu esi fotogēnisks?

—Well, I prefer staying on the other side of the camera, although don't mind putting some poses on :)

—Kā tu nokļuvi fotogrāfijas jomā?

—I started photographing 9 years ago and with time, I photographed more of people, emotions, fashion than landscape or similar.. so I wanted to do a wedding and my friends took me as their wedding photographer and it all started then..

—Kuri, Tavuprāt, ir svarīgākie labas fotogrāfijas elementi?

—A good photo has to show emotion and has to cause emotion with persons looking at it. Then I find it sucessfull.

—Vai Tu mīli ceļošanu?

—I adore traveling. If I have camera with me (in 90% of the case), then maybe I spend too much time searching for a good shot instead of just enjoying in the moments. Being a photographer takes a lot of love, but it is also a curse!
