Fotograf Anna Červinková

—Co sprawiło, że zajmujesz się fotografią?

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

—Jakie twoim zdaniem są najważniejsze czynniki decydujące o dobrym zdjęciu?

—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.

—Kochasz podróże?

—I do. A LOT.

—Co najbardziej lubisz w swoim zawodzie?

—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.

—Co najmniej lubisz w swoim zawodzie?

—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!

—Jak radzisz sobie z krytyk?

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

—Jakie kryteria powinien przyjąć klient przy wyborze fotografa?

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

—Co jest absolutnie niedozwolone podczas sesji?

—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.

—Jakie zwykle niezauważane szczegóły może uchwycić fotograf?

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

—Jaka osoba może być twoim zdaniem uznana za symbol XXI wieku?

—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.

—Czy masz zawodowe tabu?

—I would never publish something uncomfortable for the model.

—Z kim marzy ci się fotografować?

—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.

—Co cię martwi i dlaczego?

—Meaning of life and such things, usual stuff.

—Jaka była najwspanialsza chwila w twoim życiu?

—Everytime I set on a journey into unknown.

—Gdybyś był/była postaci z kreskówki, książki lub filmu, kto by to był?

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

—Jaka jest twoja definicja sukcesu? Co jest jego miarą?

—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.

—Co zabierasz ze sob w podróż i dlaczego?

—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.)

—Jak uczysz się robić lepsze zdjęcia?

—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.

—Czy jest coś, o czym warto byłoby wiedzieć, zaczynając karierę w fotografii?

—How extremely important it is to shoot RAW.

—Co chcesz przekazać poprzez swoje fotografie?

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

—Co motywuje cię do dalszej pracy w fotografii?

—Visual fascination.

—Mając możliwość cofnąć się w czasie, co być zrobił/zrobiła inaczej?

—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.

—Kto jest twoim bohaterem/bohaterką?

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

—Do kogo nie żywisz szacunku?

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

—Co robisz w czasie wolnym?

—Sleep, ride my bike or walk in nature.

—Czy wierzysz w tradycyjne role mężczyzny i kobiety?

—Being human.

—Wolisz psy czy koty?

—Cats cats cats cats cats cats cats!

—W życiu najlepsze jest:

—Life.
