Fotograf Anna Červinková

—Ako ste sa dostali do fotografického priemyslu?

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

—Aké sú podľa vás najdôležitejšie súčasti dobrej fotografie?

—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.

—Máte radi cestovanie?

—I do. A LOT.

—Čo máte najradšej na vašej profesii?

—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.

—Čo sa vám páči najmenej na vašej profesii?

—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!

—Ako zvládate kritiku?

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

—Aké by mal mať zákazník kritérium pri výbere fotografa?

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

—Čomu sa určite vyhnúť pri práci?

—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.

—Aké detaily, ktoré zvyčajne prejdú bez povšimnutia, si môže fotograf všimnúť?

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

—Ktorá osoba môže byť podľa vás symbolom 21. storočia?

—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.

—Máte nejaké profesionálne tabu?

—I would never publish something uncomfortable for the model.

—S kým by ste chceli fotografovať?

—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.

—Čoho sa obávate a prečo?

—Meaning of life and such things, usual stuff.

—Aký bol váš najpôsobivejší okamih v živote?

—Everytime I set on a journey into unknown.

—Ak by ste boli animovaná, literárna alebo filmová postava, kto by ste boli a prečo?

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

—Ako definujete úspech? Ako ho meriate?

—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.

—Keď cestujete, čo si so sebou beriete a prečo?

—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.)

—Ako sa vzdelávate, aby ste robili lepšie fotografie?

—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.

—Jedna vec, ktorú by ste chceli vedieť, keď ste začínali s fotením?

—How extremely important it is to shoot RAW.

—Čo by ste chceli povedať cez vaše fotografie?

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

—Čo vás motivuje v ďalšom fotografovaní?

—Visual fascination.

—Ak by ste sa mohli vrátiť v čase, čo by ste urobili inak?

—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.

—Kto sú vaši hrdinovia?

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

—Kto nemá u vás žiadny rešpekt?

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

—Čo robíte vo svojom voľnom čase?

—Sleep, ride my bike or walk in nature.

—Veríte v tradičné role mužov a žien?

—Being human.

—Máte radi psy alebo mačky?

—Cats cats cats cats cats cats cats!

—Najlepšia vec v živote je:

—Life.
