Fotograf Mona Varga

—Ste fotogenický?

—I am, actually :)

—Ako ste sa dostali do fotografického priemyslu?

—Loving to take pictures of people, first I took some nice portraits, after I got a bit more "serious". I was always fascinated by the idea of being a wedding photographer.

—Aké sú podľa vás najdôležitejšie súčasti dobrej fotografie?

—There are some aspects that are important, but the most of all is the power of light.

—Máte radi cestovanie?

—I actually do. A lot.

—Čo máte najradšej na vašej profesii?

—That I can capture moments, feelings and emotions which will remain forever.

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

—Is special the fact that you, as the newly weds photographer, have the most important part of their journey.

—Ako zvládate kritiku?

—I don't think anyone likes to be criticized, but as long as you receive constructive critics, I think it's only for the best. Because you, as a photographer get to evolve. And that can only be a positive thing.

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

—Small details. Instant moments and expressions. Feelings, looks, touches... everything. Common people are not looking at the art side of things. They only see the finished product and opine.

—Koho chcete fotografovať?

—Couples who care about each other, couples which look at each other with emotions. Cause when you love, everything is better. And most certainly the photos show it.

—S kým by ste chceli fotografovať?

—I would like to participate in workshops and learn from the best photographers. I don't have a special someone yet :)
But I do have lots of photographers which I admire. And I adore their works.

—Kto vás vo vašom živote inšpiruje a prečo?

—Amy Lee from the rock band Evanescence. She was always my role model and I found myself in her style and way of being.

—Ako definujete úspech? Ako ho meriate?

—Success? I would measure it in exceptional shots. So, the more, the better.

—Ako sa vzdelávate, aby ste robili lepšie fotografie?

—I sometimes watch tutorials and very much get inspired by others people's works.

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

—Which gear I'm gonna need so I don't have to buy tons of crap before I get the "big fish".

—Čo vás motivuje v ďalšom fotografovaní?

—Happy customers.

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

—I'd start studying photography sooner.

—Čo tak život na druhých planétach?

—Yeah, what about it?

—Čo robíte vo svojom voľnom čase?

—Sing, listen to music, get out in the nature. Photograph.

—Kedy ste úplne spokojní s vašou prácou?

—A lot. More a dog person, but cats are also cute.

—Najlepšia vec v živote je:

—To be healthy.

—Čo by ste chceli zmeniť na sebe?

—I would like to be a kinder person. An even kinder person that I am now. I think that with kindness, love and respect you can actually change something.

—Môžete dať niekoľko tipov pre fotografov, ktorí práve začínajú?

—Yeah. Dudes, if you really like it and you are good at it, go for it. :)

—Keby prišli na našu planétu mimozemšťania a vy by ste boli prvou osobou, s ktorou sa stretnú, čo by ste im povedali?
