—Перше і найважливіше - кого ви можете назвати найкращим фотографом у вашому місті? :)

—Well, it all depends on who you ask.
What is the best car in the world ? Everyone just sees things differently and especially in photography which is an art in itself, where everything is subjective, ask 10 people this question and probably you will get 11 different answers ! :)

—Якими для клієнта повинні бути критерії вибору фотографа?

—If there is one thing I always encourage newlyweds to do when looking for a wedding photographer is to pay very good attention to the portfolios and see which style would suit them and most importantly when meeting a wedding photographer – have him show a full wedding coverage and not get "fooled" by the best 2-3 photos everyone uploads online.

—Як ви опинилися у галузі фотографії?

—It was back in 2007 I think ... photography was already a hobby for me and as I already had a "decent" DSLR kit ( by those times' standards ) a friend of mine ( who was a videographer ) asked me to go with him and shoot some christenings. I was scared as hell thinking I have a huge responsibility but everything went well and then I moved to weddings, still shooting for him as I didn't have any portfolio. The next year I started going solo and ... 10 years later here we are.

—Чи ви фотогенічні?

—Never :)

—Якими, на вашу думку, є найголовніші складові гарної фотографії?

—Besides the basic technical stuff – composition and message/feeling are by far the key elements of an attractive wedding photograph.

—Чи любите ви подорожувати?

—Sure, who doesn't ?
Although I shot quite a few after wedding session abroad with just the bride and groom, I would love to be able to shoot a full destination wedding sometime.

—Що вам більш за все подобається у вашій професії?

—Happiness in the client's eyes when they look at their wedding photos for the first time.

—Що вам менш за все подобається у вашій професії?

—Hmm tough one...
If I'd had to choose, it would probably the fact that I have to refuse some clients that reeeeealy want me as their wedding photographer, because I already booked their wedding date for someone else.

—Як ви справляєтеся з критикою?

—I embrace it – it's the only way we move up the ladder.

—Яким буде майбутнє фотографії?

—Probably not much would change – no matter how advanced the cameras will get. A strong and great wedding image from the 50s is still great today so I can only image – the things that bring value to an image will stay constant over time.

—Чого слід уникати при фотозйомці?

—Photography is an art – no doubt about that and I find it unacceptable for a client to give the photographer exact and strict examples of they want their wedding images to look like, by bringing photos from other photographers around the world and setting stirct guidelines and boundaries regarding their own images. A photographer should be hired if you liked his own style, not to reproduce someone else's work.

—Як ви опинилися у галузі фотографії?

—Judging by what I see around myself, wedding photography is gaining more and more respect and appreciation.

—Що робить жанр фотографії, в якому ви знімаєте, особливим?
