Fotógrafo Kinga Leftska

—Em primeiro lugar - quem é para si o melhor fotógrafo em Venice, Itália? :)

—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:)

—Você é fotogénica(o)?

—Am I? 0.0

—Como se iniciou na indústria da fotografia?

—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.

—Em sua opinião, quais são os componentes mais importantes para uma boa fotografia?

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

—Gosta de viajar?

—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!

—O que mais gosta na sua profissão?

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

—O que menos gosta na sua profissão?

—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.

—Qual será o futuro da fotografia?

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

—O que há de especial para si, no género de fotografia em que se especializou?

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

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