Fotograf Samo Rovan

—Po pierwsze i najważniejsze - kto według Ciebie jest najlepszym fotografem w Twoim mieście? :)

—It depends on who you ask.
In 2015 I was WPJA photographer of the year – worldwide.

—Co sprawiło, że zajmujesz się fotografią?

—After working 7 years as a photojournalist and another 7 years as an architect I decided to become full-time wedding photographer.

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

—The strong content.

—Co najbardziej lubisz w swoim zawodzie?

—For me the best thing to do in life is shooting weddings.

—Czy w fotografii panują jakieś trendy?

—There are, but I don't believe in them. I don't like trends. They come and go. For me, photography should be timeless. So I practice nice colors and black & white photographs with strong content.

—Jakie kryteria powinien przyjąć klient przy wyborze fotografa?

—I always say to my clients – think about what will your kids see in your wedding album, when they will get married after 20/30 years.

—Jakie zwykle niezauważane szczegóły może uchwycić fotograf?

—A good photographer can capture beautiful photos of the couple but also the hidden/small moments that no one sees. A good photographer can capture the 'making of' at the same level as the 'must be' photos.

—Kogo chcesz fotografować?

—I've photographed Hollywood movie stars, super-rich people, politicks,... but also very normal couples. For me is the same. It's not about what the people are or do, the wedding is about the love between two souls.

—Jaka była najwspanialsza chwila w twoim życiu?

—In personal life – definitely my kids birth. In professional career – winning the Photographer of the year 2015 title by Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA). Another huge moment was speaking in front of almost 2000 people at the Wedding Brasil conference in Sao Paulo.

—Kto inspiruje cię w życiu i dlaczego?

—My wife and my kids. They are my biggest inspiration. My son is a very talented football player. Daughter is a national champion in saxophone. And my wife – I'd never be where I am without her!

—Co robisz w czasie wolnym?

—I love trail running. So I try to spend as much time in nature and mountains as possible. Now and then I also make something from wood.
