Fotograf Luigi Reccia

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

—I don't think I have the answer to this question. Every photographer has a different point of view, the beauty of this world is that you can learn something from everyone.

—Ste fotogenický?

—The only two people who said I'm beautiful are my mother and James Blunt.

—Ako ste sa dostali do fotografického priemyslu?

—I started shooting pictures in 2009, I've been involved in music production for years and then in 2012 I started shooting weddings. I started as a second shooter for a friend and then little by little I built my own business.

—Aké sú podľa vás najdôležitejšie súčasti dobrej fotografie?

—The moment between two moments.

—Máte radi cestovanie?

—I travel a lot, from the moment I wake up in the morning until I go to bed, every day. It doesn't matter if I use my car, a train, a plane or my mind. It's a lifetime trip.

—Čo máte najradšej na vašej profesii?

—Being surrounded by happiness and nice people. The connection. Being together. The humanity needs to stay together and talk, touch, see, hear.

—Čo sa vám páči najmenej na vašej profesii?

—Well I guess there's no perfect job in this world :)

—Aká bude budúcnosť fotenia?

—Future doesn't exist (yet).

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

—There's nothing special about wedding photography. People make it special.

—Ako zvládate kritiku?

—I take everything I can to improve my skills.
Sometimes I kidnap children and burn cars.
(Should I say I'm being ironic?)

—Sú nejaké trendy v oblasti fotografie?

—It's a complicated business, growing year by year, changing forms constantly.

—Aké by mal mať zákazník kritérium pri výbere fotografa?

—Being emotionally involved in his/her pictures. Nothing else.

—Čomu sa určite vyhnúť pri práci?

—Being a jerk, I think.

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

—An apparently meaningless moment can be captured forever with one click and being remembered for the rest of the life.

—Čo ovplyvňuje hodnotu fotografie? Aké sú jej prvky?

—It's all about what people feel when they see that picture.

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

—Not me for sure, I'm still working on it...

—Koho chcete fotografovať?

—Myself.

—Máte nejaké profesionálne tabu?

—I don't touch wedding dresses.

—S kým by ste chceli fotografovať?

—Whoever wants to :)

—Čoho sa obávate a prečo?

—I'm a restless mind. There's no reason for it and it took me years to understand it. I accepted it and I don't know why I'm like this. I'm worried about a lot of things every day, personal and in general about our future as human beings.

—Aký bol váš najpôsobivejší okamih v živote?

—When I lose everything and I started to know myself.

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

—The little Prince, of course!
Living on an asteroid, in the outer space, watching stars all the time, dreaming, being free...

—Kto vás vo vašom živote inšpiruje a prečo?

—I have my grandfather's name. He has been the most influential person in my life. If I could have a time machine, I would like to go back when he was still on this earth and say him "look what I've become".

—Ako definujete úspech? Ako ho meriate?

—Being a successful person is useless if you don't have respect for yourself and other people. So I can say that the successful person is the one who is also respectful and respected.

—Boli by ste radšej obľúbení alebo rešpektovaní?

—Read the previous one :)

—Aká je najväčšia chyba, ktorú ste kedy v práci urobili?

—Being naive.

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

—A book, my compact camera and my diary for sure.
Just because I need to have time for myself.

—Existuje niečo, čo by ste si boli radšej nekúpili zo zariadení, ktoré vlastníte? Prečo?

—I'm a left-handed person and I bought this rechargeable pen from moleskine, which is beautiful but it's a gel ink pen so everytime I write I get my diary, my hand and sometimes my clothes dirty.

—Ako sa vzdelávate, aby ste robili lepšie fotografie?

—I go to seminars, I participate to conventions and other workshops, I watch movies and tv series, I read, I experience life.

—Koho práca vás ovplyvnila najviac ako fotografa?

—My favorite wedding photographer right now is Giuseppe Marano, from Sicily.

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

—"Cameras are expensive."

—Čo by ste chceli povedať cez vaše fotografie?

—I just want to tell a story in my way. I know pictures tell at the same time what we see and what we have inside. With my pictures I hope to know myself better than now.

—Čo vás motivuje v ďalšom fotografovaní?

—I'm curious.

—Mali byť vaši rodičia menej alebo viac prísni?

—My parents are not perfect, their love made me the person I am just as their mistakes.
Oh, and they are rock 'n' roll too.

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

—I wouldn't change anything.

—Čo tak život na druhých planétach?

—I don't know what to think about the life on THIS planet.

—Kto sú vaši hrdinovia?

—My father is my hero.

—Kto nemá u vás žiadny rešpekt?

—False people above all.

—Čo robíte vo svojom voľnom čase?

—Reading, writing, having good time with my friends.

—Akú vašu tvár nikdy neukazujte na verejnosti?

—I am constantly divided in two different and opposite ways: if people see me happy, they don't see I could be sad, if they see me talking a lot, they don't know I would be silent instead.

—Kedy ste úplne spokojní s vašou prácou?

—When I know I could stop time at least in one picture.

—Veríte v tradičné role mužov a žien?

—Roles? Where we are going we don't need... roles!

—Získavate ľahko nových priateľov?

—It depends, sometimes I'm very quick to empathize with people, other times it can take even years.

—Kde by ste radi žili?

—Wherever there's beauty around me.
But if I have to pick one, Amsterdam would be a choise.

—Najlepšia vec v živote je:

—Keep dreaming.
