Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers. As I have said, I am self-taught. It's hard for me
to describe my style. I love the small depth of focus, the naturalness of simplicity and symmetry. My photos are
often need a moment, The golden middle between me and the model. I never impose a model of my vision, I tell
about it and I open myself to interpret the model. I think I'm still looking for my style though I often hear that my
photos are recognizable.
Where do you get inspiration from? The inspiration is often the internet, but probably every photographer, re-
gardless of whether he is a professional or an apator, looks at the world a little differently than others. Often
driving a car or simply arranging my affairs I look and the world for the frame, create and arrange the situation
under a photo shoot. Ideas appears, and those that change into specific photo shoots evolve often something
else on the basis of the first idea.
Do you think in advance what you want in the picture? Of course. Every session I try to plan. The final results,
however, are a mixture of photos that I planned and what the model brought to the session. I like spontaneity so
I don't just close my ideas.
Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional? It's a tough question, a professional is someone
with a photographic education. From the very beginning, I learn myself, on my mistakes. The only workshops I
was on are the ones I organise myself. I prefer to talk about myself "passionate about photography" rather than a
pro. I have to learn a lot yet and improve but I am pleased that the stage on which I am being evaluated by
people who want to pay for my work.
