Jurufoto Anna Červinková

—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—Someone asked me once to shoot their wedding.. haven't stopped since & it's been now over 7 years.

—Apakah komponen paling penting sekeping foto yang bagus menurut pendapat anda?

—Feelings. I love when my photos help people to recall their precious moments or even people who were absent on the occasion can sense the essence of it. A good photo should speak to them all.

—Adakah anda minat mengembara?

—I do. A LOT.

—Apakah yang paling anda sukai mengenai kerjaya anda?

—I love going to places and meeting new people on one of the most important days in their life. The emotions are almost tangible! Sometimes we meet just briefly in the hurry of the day, but I love to blend with the crowd and be a silent observer of all the beauty and joy around.

—Apakah yang paling anda tidak suka mengenai kerjaya anda?

—Editing cave.. spending weeks in row to edit and deliver the images as I do all my editing. But on the other hand I love when I download the images right after the shoot and spend just hours experimenting with edits and swooning over new photos!

—Bagaimanakah cara anda menangani kritikan?

—I love to recieve feedback, learn form it and grow!

—Apakah sepatutnya menjadi kriteria untuk seorang pelanggan memilih jurufoto?

—How connected they feel to the photos and stories he/she shares.

—Apakah perkara yang patut dielakkan semasa penggambaran?

—Everything that suits the couple is allowed. As for me, I request to be the only photographer (with my co-shooter) during the ceremony, so wedding guests can be fully present and enjoy the ceremony.

—Apakah perincian yang selalunya terlepas tanpa disedari namun boleh disedari oleh seorang jurufoto?

—I love catching those candid moments, non staged or posed – kids running around, people interacting, small details which make the wedding story so honest.

—Siapakah individu yang boleh menjadi simbol abad ke-21 menurut pendapat anda?

—Every single one. This century is more than ever before focused on individuality and with the spread of social media every single person matters and can have a voice.

—Adakah anda ada sebarang tabu profesional?

—I would never publish something uncomfortable for the model.

—Siapakah orang yang anda mahu merakam foto bersamanya?

—Everyone who wants to create something together. I love people contributing and helping with the shoot. Sometimes I wonder that the final image doesn't belong to a photographer at all with all those talented people in the background.

—Apakah yang merisaukan anda, dan mengapa?

—Meaning of life and such things, usual stuff.

—Apakah detik paling mengesankan dalam hidup anda?

—Everytime I set on a journey into unknown.

—Jika anda ialah karakter dalam kartun, buku atau filem, siapakah yang anda ingin jadi dan kenapa?

—I just love Aragorn from Lord of the Rings. So mysterious yet so kind and wise.

—Bagaimanakah anda mentakrifkan kejayaan? Bagaimanakah anda mengukurnya?

—Success is when a person loves what you do. And it can be your grandma, your parents or boyfriend, random people on the internet or big crowds. No matter how 'big' these people are, if what you do speaks to others, that is success. Some people just crawl for bigger success and don't realize how successful and gifted they already are or what they're missing on.

—Apabila anda pergi mengembara, apakah yang anda bawa bersama anda dan mengapa?

—As little as possible. And that apply to life as well. After all, what is life than one big travel?
On my travels I realised, that the less you carry, the less you have to care about, the more you can immerse into the everyday experience instead. (For example – one pair of the trousers&one dress makes outfit choices so much easier.)

—Bagaimanakah anda meningkatkan diri untuk merakam gambar yang lebih baik?

—Constantly learning from every picture I take, from pictures taken by others and by simly looking around and observing. Training your eye is the key.

—Apakah satu perkara yang anda harap anda telah tahu ketika mula merakam foto?

—How extremely important it is to shoot RAW.

—Apakah yang ingin anda sampaikan melalui foto anda?

—My photographs are far from saying, they're more about feeling. I hope.

—Apakah yang memotivasikan anda untuk terus mengambil gambar?

—Visual fascination.

—Jika anda boleh kembali ke masa lalu, apakah yang akan ada lakukan dengan cara berbeza?

—Nothing, because it wouldn't make me the person I am today. I don't really recognize mistakes in my life, it's just life, learning and trying, failing and improving.

—Siapakah hero anda?

—There might come a row of fantasy characters. Am I too old for that?

—Siapakah orang yang anda tidak hormat kepadanya?

—For authorities. We're all human and sometimes school kid can have more wisdom than politician or teacher.

—Apakah yang anda lakukan pada masa lapang?

—Sleep, ride my bike or walk in nature.

—Adakah anda percaya dengan peranan tradisi bagi lelaki dan perempuan?

—Being human.

—Anda suka anjing atau kucing?

—Cats cats cats cats cats cats cats!

—Perkara terbaik dalam hidup ialah:

—Life.
