Interview: Photographer Mikolaj Gawronski (Poland)

Can you tell us a little about you?

Im a 26 years old portrait and landscape photographer, addicted to rock music and shutter sound.

How and when did you get into photography?

I started from landscape photography about 10 years ago. 3 years ago, during winter I was too bored with constant cold, mud and rain, so I decided to try portrait photography. It was very good idea!

What does photography mean to you?

It is way to let out to the world all weird ideas that are crowding inside my head.

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.

In fact, I don't have one style, I'm trying to always make something new, something different, something better.

Where do you get inspiration from?

You can get inspiration from literally anything. Movie, TV show, book, game of shadows throwing by the trees in the park.

Think you in advance what you want in the picture?

Always! Before photoshoot I try to have an complete idea what I want to do, I’m planning light, colors, framing and all others, but it doesn't mean that I don't improvise.

Studio, on location or both?

I prefer studio, because I have control over all conditions.

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?

I like what I do, I have my own ideas for photos, but it is also a good job.

What has been your most memorable session and why?

Probably session with model in aquarium. Completely weird, hard to explain and execute but also with surprisingly good effects.

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?

Nikon, and probably as many others: 85mm f/1.4

What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business?

Work as much as you can, practice as much as you can, and always look for new inspirations.

What do you think of our new magazine?

It is an amazing source of inspirations and ideas.
