Fotograf Marina Rygalina

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

—I don't know my direct competition, since I am concentrating on my own professional development and growth

—Ste fotogenický?

—I usually look good on pictures if I am not caught off guard:)

—Ako ste sa dostali do fotografického priemyslu?

—I was starting from Sensual Private Sessions, then was drawn into Beauty and Fashion Fields. At some point I was taking part in the shoots for the Wedding Dresses. I was fascinated by the beauty of the dresses, and realised that it is mainly the fairytale effect that I like, and it started showing in my pictures.

—Aké sú podľa vás najdôležitejšie súčasti dobrej fotografie?

—Emotions, composition, colour palette, light, decor elements

—Máte radi cestovanie?

—Yes, totally exciting. Now I live in a smaller town in the mountains and although it is great as a home, it makes me want to get out once in a while for a search of an adventure and beauty.

—Čo máte najradšej na vašej profesii?

—Creating Beauty. I see it everywhere and in almost everything and I like to show it through the lens...
I want other people to see it the way I see it.

—Čo sa vám páči najmenej na vašej profesii?

—It takes me some time before I can sit on a computer and go through pictures. I can not do it right away after the shoot. I tend to be very excited after the event and am liking everything, without criticism, it is hard to make a selection of the best pictures. But if I come back to them in a week, I tend to cool down with my emotions and I can look at my work objectively already.
