Fotograf Anna Červinková

—Hvordan ble du en del av fotografbransjen?

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

—Hva er de viktigste komponentene i et bra bilde etter din mening?

—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.

—Er du glad i å reise?

—I do. A LOT.

—Hva liker du best med yrket ditt?

—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.

—Hva liker du minst med yrket ditt?

—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!

—Hvordan takler du kritikk?

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

—Hva bør kriteriene være for en kunde som skal velge en fotograf?

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

—Hvilke ting er absolutt ikke tillatt under fotograferingen?

—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.

—Hvilke detaljer, som vanligvis ingen ville lagt merke til, kan en fotograf fange opp?

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

—Hvilken person kan være symbolet på det 21. århundre etter din mening?

—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.

—Har du noen yrkesmessige tabuer?

—I would never publish something uncomfortable for the model.

—Hvem kunne du tenkt deg å fotografere sammen med?

—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.

—Hva bekymrer deg, og hvorfor?

—Meaning of life and such things, usual stuff.

—Hva er det mest imponerende øyeblikket i livet ditt?

—Everytime I set on a journey into unknown.

—Hvilken animert figur, literær person eller filmkarakter ville du vært, og hvorfor?

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

—Hvordan definerer du suksess? Hvordan måler du graden av suksess?

—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.

—Når du skal ut å reise; hva tar du med deg, og hvorfor?

—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.)

—Hvordan utdanner du deg for stadig å ta bedre bilder?

—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.

—Hva spesifikt skulle du ønske at du visste da du begynte å fotografere?

—How extremely important it is to shoot RAW.

—Hva ønsker du å formidle gjennom dine bilder?

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

—Hva motiverer deg til å fortsette med fotografering?

—Visual fascination.

—Hva ville du ha gjort annerledes hvis du kunne reise tilbake i tid?

—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.

—Hvem er dine helter?

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

—Hvem har du absolutt ingen respekt for?

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

—Hva gjør du i fritiden din?

—Sleep, ride my bike or walk in nature.

—Tror du på tradisjonelle manne- og kvinneroller?

—Being human.

—Liker du hunder eller katter?

—Cats cats cats cats cats cats cats!

—Det beste i livet er:

—Life.
