—Jūsų nuomone, kokie yra svarbiausi geros nuotraukos komponentai?

—I strongly belive in a moment as the first component and I am always fighting to find it. Before finding the moment, I scout for the best light condition and I am making some composition scenarios. Having all those elements in my mind I start to shoot until I get what I want. Sometimes nothing happens in the frame, but patience is my ally.

The future of wedding photography stays in crazy shots. Traditional is dying.

—Kaip susitvarkote su kritika?
