Fotograf Kinga Leftska

—Først og fremst, hvem vil du si er den beste fotografen i Venezia, Italia? :)

—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:)

—Er du fotogen?

—Am I? 0.0

—Hvordan ble du en del av fotografbransjen?

—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.

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

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

—Er du glad i å reise?

—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!

—Hva liker du best med yrket ditt?

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

—Hva liker du minst med yrket ditt?

—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.

—Hvordan ser fremtiden ut for fotografering?

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

—Hva er det spesielle med den fotografisjanger du har spesialisert deg i?

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

—Hvordan takler du kritikk?

—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.

—Finnes det noen trender innen fotografering?

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

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

—Hvilke ting er absolutt ikke tillatt under fotograferingen?

—Lack of connection between the couple and the photographer!

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

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

—Hva påvirker bildets verdi? Hvilke elementer inneholder det?

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

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

—Hvem inspirerer deg i ditt liv, og hvorfor?

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

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

—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.

—Foretrekker du å bli likt eller respektert?

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

—Hvem sitt arbeid har inspirert deg mest som fotograf?

—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.
