Фотограф Anna Červinková

—Как вы попали в индустрию фотографии?

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

—Как вы считаете, какие самые важные составляющие хорошей фотографии?

—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.

—Любите путешествовать?

—I do. A LOT.

—Что в вашей профессии вам нравится больше всего?

—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.

—Что в вашей профессии вам нравится меньше всего?

—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!

—Как вы относитесь к критике?

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

—По каким критериям клиенты должны выбирать своего фотографа?

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

—Чего нельзя допускать при съемке?

—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.

—Что обычные люди упускают из виду, в то время как фотограф может увидеть?

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

—Кого бы вы назвали символом XXI века?

—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.

—Есть ли у вас какие-то табу в работе?

—I would never publish something uncomfortable for the model.

—С кем вы хотели бы поснимать?

—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.

—О чем вы беспокоитесь и почему?

—Meaning of life and such things, usual stuff.

—Расскажите о самом сильном впечатлении в своей жизни.

—Everytime I set on a journey into unknown.

—Каким персонажем из мультфильма, книги или кино вы были бы и почему?

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

—Как вы определяете успех? Можно ли его измерить?

—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.

—Что вы берете с собой в путешествие и почему?

—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.)

—Расскажите о своем самообучении: что вы делаете, чтобы снимать лучше?

—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.

—Как вы считаете, что вам следовало бы знать в первую очередь, когда вы начинали фотографировать?

—How extremely important it is to shoot RAW.

—Что вы хотите донести до людей с помощью фотографии?

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

—Что побуждает вас продолжать заниматься фотографией?

—Visual fascination.

—Если бы можно было вернуться в прошлое, что бы вы сделали иначе?

—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.

—Кто для вас пример для подражания?

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

—Кого вы считаете недостойным уважения?

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

—Чем вы занимаетесь в свободное время?

—Sleep, ride my bike or walk in nature.

—Придаете ли вы значение традиционным ролям мужчин и женщин?

—Being human.

—Вы любите собак? А кошек?

—Cats cats cats cats cats cats cats!

—Самое лучшее в жизни — это:

—Life.
