How did your interest of photography start? It all started when my father showed me a photo printing processes. Then I tried to photograph - family, nature, architecture. But it was printing process that I liked more than shooting, i must admit. For me it was a moment of magic! Over time, all transformed, and now I take pictures with a digital camera

Where does the fascination for shooting fashion come from? My first trip to Italy in 2010 blowed my mind. People on the streets. Details, accessories, shoes - everything in harmony and incredibly cool. From that moment I started to take pictures on the streets.

What was the first picture you got published and where? It was in 2010 when I started my blog.

What makes a great photo? And what makes not. I think it is a balanced combination of background, colors, the right light and of course a person with great style.
