Jurufoto Marcin Karpowicz

—Adakah anda seorang yang fotogenik?

—I don't feel like a photogenic person.

—Bagaimanakah anda mula menceburkan diri dalam industri fotografi?

—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.

—Apakah komponen paling penting sekeping foto yang bagus menurut pendapat anda?

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