Фотограф Anna Červinková

—Як ви опинилися у галузі фотографії?

—Someone asked me once to shoot their wedding.. haven't stopped since & it's been now over 7 years.

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

—Feelings. I love when my photos help people to recall their precious moments or even people who were absent on the occasion can sense the essence of it. A good photo should speak to them all.

—Чи любите ви подорожувати?

—I do. A LOT.

—Що вам більш за все подобається у вашій професії?

—I love going to places and meeting new people on one of the most important days in their life. The emotions are almost tangible! Sometimes we meet just briefly in the hurry of the day, but I love to blend with the crowd and be a silent observer of all the beauty and joy around.

—Що вам менш за все подобається у вашій професії?

—Editing cave.. spending weeks in row to edit and deliver the images as I do all my editing. But on the other hand I love when I download the images right after the shoot and spend just hours experimenting with edits and swooning over new photos!

—Як ви справляєтеся з критикою?

—I love to recieve feedback, learn form it and grow!

—Якими для клієнта повинні бути критерії вибору фотографа?

—How connected they feel to the photos and stories he/she shares.

—Чого слід уникати при фотозйомці?

—Everything that suits the couple is allowed. As for me, I request to be the only photographer (with my co-shooter) during the ceremony, so wedding guests can be fully present and enjoy the ceremony.

—Які деталі, що, зазвичай, проходять непоміченими, може «зловити» фотограф?

—I love catching those candid moments, non staged or posed – kids running around, people interacting, small details which make the wedding story so honest.

—Яка людина, на вашу думку, може бути символом 21-го століття?

—Every single one. This century is more than ever before focused on individuality and with the spread of social media every single person matters and can have a voice.

—Чи маєте ви якісь професійні табу?

—I would never publish something uncomfortable for the model.

—З ким ви хотіли б пофотографувати?

—Everyone who wants to create something together. I love people contributing and helping with the shoot. Sometimes I wonder that the final image doesn't belong to a photographer at all with all those talented people in the background.

—Про що ви хвилюєтесь і чому?

—Meaning of life and such things, usual stuff.

—Який момент є найбільш вражаючим у вашому житті?

—Everytime I set on a journey into unknown.

—Якщо ви були б персонажем мультика, книги або фільму, ким саме ви були б і чому?

—I just love Aragorn from Lord of the Rings. So mysterious yet so kind and wise.

—Як ви визначаєте успіх? Як ви його вимірюєте?

—Success is when a person loves what you do. And it can be your grandma, your parents or boyfriend, random people on the internet or big crowds. No matter how 'big' these people are, if what you do speaks to others, that is success. Some people just crawl for bigger success and don't realize how successful and gifted they already are or what they're missing on.

—Коли ви збираєтесь у подорож, що ви берете з собою і чому?

—As little as possible. And that apply to life as well. After all, what is life than one big travel?
On my travels I realised, that the less you carry, the less you have to care about, the more you can immerse into the everyday experience instead. (For example – one pair of the trousers&one dress makes outfit choices so much easier.)

—Як ви вчитесь робити гарніші знімки?

—Constantly learning from every picture I take, from pictures taken by others and by simly looking around and observing. Training your eye is the key.

—Про яку одну річ ви хотіли б знати, коли розпочинали знімати фотографії?

—How extremely important it is to shoot RAW.

—Що ви хочете сказати за допомогою ваших фотографій?

—My photographs are far from saying, they're more about feeling. I hope.

—Що мотивує вас продовжувати робити знімки?

—Visual fascination.

—Якщо ви могли б повернутися назад у часі, що б ви зробили інакше?

—Nothing, because it wouldn't make me the person I am today. I don't really recognize mistakes in my life, it's just life, learning and trying, failing and improving.

—Хто є вашими героями?

—There might come a row of fantasy characters. Am I too old for that?

—Кого ви не поважаєте?

—For authorities. We're all human and sometimes school kid can have more wisdom than politician or teacher.

—Чим ви займаєтесь у свій вільній час?

—Sleep, ride my bike or walk in nature.

—Чи ви вірите у традиційні ролі чоловіків та жінок?

—Being human.

—Ви любите собак чи котів?

—Cats cats cats cats cats cats cats!

—Найкраща річ у житті - це:

—Life.
