Fotograaf Marcin Karpowicz

—Kas sa oled fotogeenne?

—I don't feel like a photogenic person.

—Kuidas sa sattusid fotograafiamaailma?

—My wife's idea. We photograph the nature, when we were hiking – eventually my wife started to photograph people – finally our friend took us to photograph her wedding in Mexico – and this is how I started my journey with wedding photography.

—Mis on sinu arvates hea foto kõige olulisead komponendid?

—moment, composition and light. You have to have those three elements in order to have perfect photo.

—Kas sulle meeldib reisida?

—Yes – I love traveling. So far I lived in three different countries and in two different continents. I was born in Poland, lived for 6 years in USA and finally moved to Canada, where I am living today.

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige rohkem meeldib?

—I am dealing, most of the time, with happiness and love during the day of wedding. I am in constant movement – meeting different people. The life looks like the box of chocolates – you never know what kind of clients you get :)

—Mis sulle sinu töö juures kõige vähem meeldib?

—Uncertainty of the future bookings.

—Millisena näed sa fotograafia tulevikku?

—Difficult to say – maybe the future will be screenshot from the video coverage. For sure there will be more and more competitiveness with the guests capturing the moments through their better and better phones and their ability to instantly share those photos on all social media platforms.

—Mis on sinu fotograafiažanris erilist?

—In few hours the photographer needs to capture the story of love between the bride and groom, connection to their friends, and nurture of their parents.

—Kuidas sa suhtud kriitikasse?

—I am handle very well constructive criticism – criticism helps my development of being better photographer.

—Kas fotograafias on teatud trende?

—There is s trend to show main subjects as a part of broader spectrum. Bride and Groom are not longer dominate the photos but they are the part of the environment. In my opinion there is also strong emphasis on the verbs in the photographs – so there is a lot of action – so we can see strong interaction between two nouns by incorporating the verbs into the photos (like laughing, walking, running, jumping etc)

—Millised peaksid fotograafi valides olema kliendi kriteeriumid?

—Three things: portfolio, personality, and of course, budget.
