Fotógrafo Marina Rygalina

—Em primeiro lugar - quem é para si o melhor fotógrafo em Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Espanha? :)

—I don't know my direct competition, since I am concentrating on my own professional development and growth

—Você é fotogénica(o)?

—I usually look good on pictures if I am not caught off guard:)

—Como se iniciou na indústria da fotografia?

—I was starting from Sensual Private Sessions, then was drawn into Beauty and Fashion Fields. At some point I was taking part in the shoots for the Wedding Dresses. I was fascinated by the beauty of the dresses, and realised that it is mainly the fairytale effect that I like, and it started showing in my pictures.

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

—Emotions, composition, colour palette, light, decor elements

—O que mais gosta na sua profissão?

—Creating Beauty. I see it everywhere and in almost everything and I like to show it through the lens...
I want other people to see it the way I see it.

—O que menos gosta na sua profissão?

—It takes me some time before I can sit on a computer and go through pictures. I can not do it right away after the shoot. I tend to be very excited after the event and am liking everything, without criticism, it is hard to make a selection of the best pictures. But if I come back to them in a week, I tend to cool down with my emotions and I can look at my work objectively already.
