—Як ви справляєтеся з критикою?

—Depends on what the criticism is about. if it's about respecting all the photography rules, guidelines then I know I'm breaking some of them, but that is purely my vision, my stile that makes me brake them. I always try to learn from the criticism, even if it's harsh. I try to take it positively.
