—Kaip jūs atsiradote fotografijos industrijoje?

—Pasja fotografowania pchnęła mnie w niemal każdą jej dziedzinę, jednak na fotografii ślubnej skupiam swoją uwagę ze względu na emocje jakie zawsze towarzyszą temu wyjątkowemu wydarzeniu.

—Ar esate fotogeniškas?

—Myślę że ocenić powinien to ktoś kto podjął by się sfotografowania mojej osoby. Sam sobie zdjęć nie robię więc nie mam zdana :)

—Ar mėgstate keliauti?

—Tak, uwielbiam poznawać nowe miejsca

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka labiausiai?

—Tak zwaną "magię" fotografowania. Fotografia to echo czegoś co było, przeminęło i gdzieś wybrzmiewa w naszych wspomnieniach. My jako fotografowie mamy jedno proste zadanie, aby to echo brzmiało jak najwyraźniej :)

—Kokia bus fotografijos ateitis?

—Mam nadzieję że zaskakująca

—Kuo ypatingas fotografijos žanras, kuriame jūs specializuojatės?

—Jest zaskakująca

—Kokie turėtų būti kliento kriterijai, kad pasirinkti fotografą?

—First of all, it's important that the bride and groom identify themselves with the photographer and his work, the choice should be made by whether they consider he is the one who's worth recording their lifetime memories. Then, they should absolutely watch an entire wedding shot by the one they chose. I like being approached by future weds who know a thing or two about photography and who got their mind set on what they really want.

—Kaip jūs atsiradote fotografijos industrijoje?

—I started taking pictures in 2000 and shooting weddings in 2008. At first, I didn't want to do weddings, I thought it would diminish my work. But I started anyway and found the most challenging environment, I discovered that no matter what type of photography you do, you can always reinvent yourself and find new ways to tell a story. Especially when you meet extraordinary people all the time :)

—Ar esate fotogeniškas?

—I consider I ain't, but it so happens that on occasion some other photographer catches the good/bright sight of me.

—Jūsų nuomone, kokie yra svarbiausi geros nuotraukos komponentai?

—First & foremost, the people involved and their mood (if you're shooting people), then the light (I began ”seeing” the light after years of shooting) and the decisive moment. I don't agree that the quality of a photograph is not important, but it indeed comes in second after the feelings it produces.

—Ar mėgstate keliauti?

—So much that if it would be possible I would be traveling all the time.

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka labiausiai?

—The diversity – today I'm shooting a wedding, tomorrow a baptism, after tomorrow a concert, then a family portrait, a corporate event or some landscape. It's what keeps me connected all the time.

—Kas šioje profesijoje Jums patinka mažiausiai?

—Having too much to edit.

—Kaip susitvarkote su kritika?

—I'm all in for constructive criticism, don't like destructive one. That's why we're here on My Wed, right? To constantly learn from other photographers and document ourselves about where we are as wedding photographers. I, for one, would like to hear more criticism about my work and where to improve. Here's an idea: you could implement a section where each photographer could post one photo/week for critique :D

—Kokių dalykų turi būti vengiama fotografuojant?

—Getting in front of the photographer.

—Kokia bus fotografijos ateitis?

—I think it is constantly evolving and that we'll always see changes for the good. We'll always have trends that come and go, the important thing is to know who you are and do what you really like, not necessarily follow the hype.

—Kuo ypatingas fotografijos žanras, kuriame jūs specializuojatės?

—Oh, everything about it is special. I must admit I suffer when someone refers to it as a banality, thinking that ”real artists” don't do wedding photos. Special is meeting new people, seeing new places or facing new challenges. Besides war photography, I find it the most challenging type, you get to meet all kinds of situations during one day: different light every minute, you get to shoot outdoors and indoors, in plain sun or in the shadow of a tree/building, inside a cave or on a mountain top etc. etc. Need I say more?
