Fotogrāfs Luigi Reccia

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

—I don't think I have the answer to this question. Every photographer has a different point of view, the beauty of this world is that you can learn something from everyone.

—Vai Tu esi fotogēnisks?

—The only two people who said I'm beautiful are my mother and James Blunt.

—Kā tu nokļuvi fotogrāfijas jomā?

—I started shooting pictures in 2009, I've been involved in music production for years and then in 2012 I started shooting weddings. I started as a second shooter for a friend and then little by little I built my own business.

—Kuri, Tavuprāt, ir svarīgākie labas fotogrāfijas elementi?

—The moment between two moments.

—Vai Tu mīli ceļošanu?

—I travel a lot, from the moment I wake up in the morning until I go to bed, every day. It doesn't matter if I use my car, a train, a plane or my mind. It's a lifetime trip.

—Kas Tev vislabāk patīk savā profesijā?

—Being surrounded by happiness and nice people. The connection. Being together. The humanity needs to stay together and talk, touch, see, hear.

—Kas Tavā profesijā Tev patīk vismazāk?

—Well I guess there's no perfect job in this world :)

—Kāda būs fotogrāfijas nākotne?

—Future doesn't exist (yet).

—Kas ir īpašs fotogrāfijas žanrā, kurā specializējies?

—There's nothing special about wedding photography. People make it special.

—Kā Tu uztver kritiku?

—I take everything I can to improve my skills.
Sometimes I kidnap children and burn cars.
(Should I say I'm being ironic?)

—Vai fotogrāfijā ir kādas īpašas tendences?

—It's a complicated business, growing year by year, changing forms constantly.

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

—Being emotionally involved in his/her pictures. Nothing else.

—No kā fotogrāfējot būtu jāizvairās?

—Being a jerk, I think.

—Kādus parasti nepamanītus brīžus var notvert fotogrāfs?

—An apparently meaningless moment can be captured forever with one click and being remembered for the rest of the life.

—Kas ietekmē fotogrāfijas vērtību? Kādi ir tās elementi?

—It's all about what people feel when they see that picture.

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

—Not me for sure, I'm still working on it...

—Ko Tu vēlētos fotogrāfēt?

—Myself.

—Vai Tev ir kādi profesionālie tabu?

—I don't touch wedding dresses.

—Ar ko Tu kopā vēlētos fotogrāfēt?

—Whoever wants to :)

—Par ko Tu satraucies un kāpēc?

—I'm a restless mind. There's no reason for it and it took me years to understand it. I accepted it and I don't know why I'm like this. I'm worried about a lot of things every day, personal and in general about our future as human beings.

—Kas ir Tavas dzīves iespaidīgakais brīdis?

—When I lose everything and I started to know myself.

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

—The little Prince, of course!
Living on an asteroid, in the outer space, watching stars all the time, dreaming, being free...

—Kas Tevi iedvesmo dzīvē un kāpēc?

—I have my grandfather's name. He has been the most influential person in my life. If I could have a time machine, I would like to go back when he was still on this earth and say him "look what I've become".

—Kā Tu definētu veiksmi? Vai to var izmērīt?

—Being a successful person is useless if you don't have respect for yourself and other people. So I can say that the successful person is the one who is also respectful and respected.

—Vai Tev labāk patīk tikt mīlētam vai tikt cienītam?

—Read the previous one :)

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

—Being naive.

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

—A book, my compact camera and my diary for sure.
Just because I need to have time for myself.

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

—I'm a left-handed person and I bought this rechargeable pen from moleskine, which is beautiful but it's a gel ink pen so everytime I write I get my diary, my hand and sometimes my clothes dirty.

—Kā Tu mācies, lai uzņemtu arvien labākas fotogrāfijas?

—I go to seminars, I participate to conventions and other workshops, I watch movies and tv series, I read, I experience life.

—Kuri darbi Tevi kā fotogrāfu ir visvairāk iedvesmojuši?

—My favorite wedding photographer right now is Giuseppe Marano, from Sicily.

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

—"Cameras are expensive."

—Ko Tu vēlies pastāstīt ar savām fotogrāfijām?

—I just want to tell a story in my way. I know pictures tell at the same time what we see and what we have inside. With my pictures I hope to know myself better than now.

—Kas Tevi motivē turpināt uzņemt fotogrāfijas?

—I'm curious.

—Vai Tavi vecāki bija stringri vai netik stingri?

—My parents are not perfect, their love made me the person I am just as their mistakes.
Oh, and they are rock 'n' roll too.

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

—I wouldn't change anything.

—Ko Tu domā par dzīvi uz citām planētām?

—I don't know what to think about the life on THIS planet.

—Kas ir Tavi varoņi?

—My father is my hero.

—Ko Tu necieni?

—False people above all.

—Ko Tu dari brīvajā laikā?

—Reading, writing, having good time with my friends.

—Kuru Tavu pusi citi nekad neredz?

—I am constantly divided in two different and opposite ways: if people see me happy, they don't see I could be sad, if they see me talking a lot, they don't know I would be silent instead.

—Kad Tu esi pilnībā apmierināts ar savu darbu?

—When I know I could stop time at least in one picture.

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

—Roles? Where we are going we don't need... roles!

—Vai Tu vienkārši sadraudzējies?

—It depends, sometimes I'm very quick to empathize with people, other times it can take even years.

—Kur Tu vēlētos dzīvot?

—Wherever there's beauty around me.
But if I have to pick one, Amsterdam would be a choise.

—Labākā lieta dzīvē ir:
