—Aké by mal mať zákazník kritérium pri výbere fotografa?

—Three things: portfolio, personality, and of course, budget.

—Ako ste sa dostali do fotografického priemyslu?

—My wife's idea. We photograph the nature, when we were hiking – eventually my wife started to photograph people – finally our friend took us to photograph her wedding in Mexico – and this is how I started my journey with wedding photography.

—Ste fotogenický?

—I don't feel like a photogenic person.

—Aké sú podľa vás najdôležitejšie súčasti dobrej fotografie?

—moment, composition and light. You have to have those three elements in order to have perfect photo.

—Máte radi cestovanie?

—Yes – I love traveling. So far I lived in three different countries and in two different continents. I was born in Poland, lived for 6 years in USA and finally moved to Canada, where I am living today.

—Čo máte najradšej na vašej profesii?

—I am dealing, most of the time, with happiness and love during the day of wedding. I am in constant movement – meeting different people. The life looks like the box of chocolates – you never know what kind of clients you get :)

—Čo sa vám páči najmenej na vašej profesii?

—Uncertainty of the future bookings.

—Ako zvládate kritiku?

—I am handle very well constructive criticism – criticism helps my development of being better photographer.

—Čomu sa určite vyhnúť pri práci?

—I don't see that kind of things.

—Aká bude budúcnosť fotenia?

—Difficult to say – maybe the future will be screenshot from the video coverage. For sure there will be more and more competitiveness with the guests capturing the moments through their better and better phones and their ability to instantly share those photos on all social media platforms.

—Čo je výnimočné na žánri fotografií, na ktorý sa špecializujete?

—In few hours the photographer needs to capture the story of love between the bride and groom, connection to their friends, and nurture of their parents.

—Aké by mal mať zákazník kritérium pri výbere fotografa?

—1) Do you like the photographer's work? 2) Do you like the photographer? Simple as that.

—Ako ste sa dostali do fotografického priemyslu?

—In 2008, I was already doing amateur photography for a couple of year. To do something different for a change, I asked my uncle if I could photograph his wedding. It was his second marriage, they were not asking for a photographer, so there was little risk. I ended up liking it so much, that I decided to do it more.

—Ste fotogenický?

—No! I much rather be behind a camera.

—Aké sú podľa vás najdôležitejšie súčasti dobrej fotografie?

—Above all, the photo has to have a certain impact. Wether that's an intense emotion, a good vibe, or just a spectaculair visual impact. After that comes the technical part. So a good lighting, composition, etcetera. But for me, the impact is the most important part, by far.

—Máte radi cestovanie?

—Yes, but with moderation though. I'd love to do 3-5 destination weddings a year. I don't think I'd enjoy doing 10, 15 or even more.

—Čo máte najradšej na vašej profesii?

—It sounds like a horrible cliché, but it's true: Every wedding is different. You never really know what's going to happen. Surprises can happen at every moment. Besides that, I think it's a great honor to be asked to create lifelong memories for the people that are getting married. 5, 10, 25 or even 50 years after they get married, people still remember who took their wedding photos. It's pretty wonderful that you can be an important part in people's lives.

—Čo sa vám páči najmenej na vašej profesii?

—Basically: The postprocessing. I have a horrible concentration when it comes to editing. I love editing my 50-75 favorites from a wedding, but after that, it gets hard for me to keep focused.

—Ako zvládate kritiku?

—I try to extract what people really mean with their comments. Some people have difficulties in finding the right words to give feedback, sometimes making them sound rude. But I always try to figure out what's the real message there.

—Čomu sa určite vyhnúť pri práci?

—'Allowed' is a big word. I'm not the one to say what's allowed or not. However, I don't like to unnecessarily intervene in a wedding. With the exception of the posed shots, I don't like having to tell people what to do, where to stand or how to look.

—Aká bude budúcnosť fotenia?

—I think the future of wedding photography will be a further evolution of the direction it's going in right now. More journalistic stuff, more moments. But besides that: technical advances. Faster camera's, better low light capabilities, and other accessories like drones, light field cameras, and stuff like that, giving photographers even more tools to being creative.

—Čo je výnimočné na žánri fotografií, na ktorý sa špecializujete?

—I love many aspects of it. I love the fact that people are in a good mood, they take the time to look good as well. People get married in beautiful venues, and you as a photographer gets to be a part of so many people's special day. That's amazing.

—Po prvé a predovšetkým - koho môžete vymenovať ako najlepšieho fotografa vo vašom meste? :)

—There are lot of good photographers in Manila.. I mean a lot! it's very hard to pick one.

—Aké by mal mať zákazník kritérium pri výbere fotografa?

—Quality and skills.

—Ako ste sa dostali do fotografického priemyslu?

—After I left my previous work (i'm an engineer). I decided to go full-time in photography, that was 5 years ago. Back then, I tried different genres of photography (street, landscape, product, etc.) But later on, focused on wedding and portrait photography because it has been my bread and butter since I left my previous job.
