Fotogrāfs Kinga Leftska

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

—Can't tell... When there's many photographers in Venice there's only few good storytellers! I'm sure you'll find a right one – one who sees with a hear not just with a camera:)

—Vai Tu esi fotogēnisks?

—Am I? 0.0

—Kā tu nokļuvi fotogrāfijas jomā?

—Ages ago when I was already into couples shoots one of my friends trusted me and asked me if I wanted to photograph their destination wedding. That's how it all started! I fell in love with white dresses and beautiful bouquets and right after my friends' wedding an avalanche of wedding requests started.

—Kuri, Tavuprāt, ir svarīgākie labas fotogrāfijas elementi?

—Candid moments. No posing. I hate posing! And light. Light is always important.

—Vai Tu mīli ceļošanu?

—I love travelling, I'm a freelance photographer not only for the sake of photography but also for the sake of travelling. I spend few months a year with my backpack!

—Kas Tev vislabāk patīk savā profesijā?

—FREEDOM! And the possibility of meeting cool new people from all over the world all the time.

—Kas Tavā profesijā Tev patīk vismazāk?

—I hate it when someone tells me he booked another photographer who was cheaper even though he didn't like his work as much as mine. Why would you hire anyone at all then? Isn't it a complete waste of money in such case? My myself, I either hire someone whose work I'm totally in love with or I don't hire anyone at all.

—Kāda būs fotogrāfijas nākotne?

—I hope it's not iPhone wedding photography eeek!

—Kas ir īpašs fotogrāfijas žanrā, kurā specializējies?

—Candid moments. It really happens hardly ever that the couple is playing someone else as soon as they see the camera nearby.

—Kā Tu uztver kritiku?

—Can't remember anyone criticising my work haha! Hope it stays that way :) And when it comes to general criticism – I think i'm surrounded by good people rather than critics.

—Vai fotogrāfijā ir kādas īpašas tendences?

—There's been, there are and there will be trends. In photography and in any other field.

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

—Only THE STYLE. Not the budget. You don't want to cry over your wedding photos.

—No kā fotogrāfējot būtu jāizvairās?

—Lack of connection between the couple and the photographer!

—Kādus parasti nepamanītus brīžus var notvert fotogrāfs?

—Covering wedding photographers' cameras with your iPhone? We want to capture the first kiss, not a bunch of phones in the air.

—Kas ietekmē fotogrāfijas vērtību? Kādi ir tās elementi?

—True moments, true smiles, real laughs, honest tears and natural light.

—Kurš cilvēks, Tavuprāt, varētu būt 21. gadsimta simbols?

—Any person. We are all the creators of the 21st century.

—Ko Tu vēlētos fotogrāfēt?

—Honest people who trust me and my skills.

—Vai Tev ir kādi profesionālie tabu?

—I don't

—Ar ko Tu kopā vēlētos fotogrāfēt?

—There's only a few world class photographers I'd like to work with.

—Par ko Tu satraucies un kāpēc?

—I worry my life is to short to see each and every piece of the world

—Kas ir Tavas dzīves iespaidīgakais brīdis?

—My partner asking me to marry him! (While getting this captured by our favourite photographer in the world:))

—Ja Tu būtu multfilmas, grāmatas vai filmas varonis, kurš tas būtu un kāpēc?

—I'd be King Julian because I can improvise his voice and be as silly as he is just to make other laugh ;) He also wears cool crowns doesn't he?! haha ;)

—Kas Tevi iedvesmo dzīvē un kāpēc?

—My man. He's just the best and whatever goes wrong he can always make me feel better.

—Kā Tu definētu veiksmi? Vai to var izmērīt?

—Everyone masures success with his own measure. For me it's doing what I love, loving and being loved and travelling as often as possible.

—Vai Tev labāk patīk tikt mīlētam vai tikt cienītam?

—I'd rather be respected. You can't be liked by everyone. No one is.

—Kas ir lielākā kļūda, ko Tu esi pieļāvis darbā?

—Can't recall any.

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

—My camera! Because I wouldn't remember everything so well.

—Vai kāda ierīcēm (gadžetiem), kas Tev pieder, ir tāda, kuru Tev nebūtu vajadzējis pirkt? Kāpēc?

—I think I like and use all the gadgets that I've ever brought.

—Kā Tu mācies, lai uzņemtu arvien labākas fotogrāfijas?

—I take part in world class workshops with my favourite photographers in Europe, North and South America.

—Kuri darbi Tevi kā fotogrāfu ir visvairāk iedvesmojuši?

—Rafal Bojar, Luka Mario, Fer Juaristi, Sebastian Nandryka. They do more of an art rather than just clicks. They open people to get the true selves out of them.

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

—Can't remember.

—Ko Tu vēlies pastāstīt ar savām fotogrāfijām?

—I try to be honest. Always. Not sure there's anything I hide

—Kad Tu esi pilnībā apmierināts ar savu darbu?

—Hardly ever – even when my clients shred tears of joy when receiving the final images. I always think something could be done better. It's just about being ambitious when it comes to photography I guess?:)
