Fotograf Mona Varga

—Fotogenični ste?

—I am, actually :)

—Kako ste ušli u svet fotografije?

—Šta smatrate da su ključni elementi dobre fotografije?

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

—Volite putovanja?

—I actually do. A lot.

—Šta najviše volite u vezi sa svojim zanimanjem?

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

—Šta je posebno kod vrste fotografije koja je vaša specijalnost?

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

—Kako podnosite 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.

—Koje najčešće neprimetne detalje primećuje fotograf?

—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.

—Koga biste želeli da fotografišete?

—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.

—Sa kim biste želeli da sarađujete?

—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.

—Ko vam je životna inspiracija i zašto?

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

—Šta za vas znači uspeh? Kako ga merite?

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

—Kako se edukujete da biste bolje fotografisali?

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

—Šta biste voleli da ste znali kad ste tek postali fotograf?

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

—Šta vas motiviše da se i dalje bavite fotografijom?

—Happy customers.

—Da možete da se vratite u prošlost, šta biste uradili drugačije?

—Šta mislite o životu na drugim planetama?

—Yeah, what about it?

—Da li imate neki savet za fotografe koji tek počinju?

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