1- Are you a professional photographer? I am not a professional photographer. I have got involved in the photography 7 months ago. Just bought my first camera, took a short course about using the gear, composition and some further practical issues.
2- Why street photography? The street has become a place where I can learn without the limits of time. It has become some sort of meditation for me. I like just to go long way through the streets, watching and discovering the same places repeatedly in a new way, taking photos of a natural life.
3-What do you look for in an image? I like moment of time, composition, light, colors.
4-Where in the world would you most like to photograph? Mostly I photograph my native city Vilnius, but I would like to take photos everywhere.
5-Who would you most like to photograph? People, their emotions, expressions, interactions, mood.
6-Your favourite street image of your own to date and why? The portrait of women – Cogitation. I like the mood, beauty of her face and hands, her life experience, wisdom. Moreover, looking at this picture I think about the inevitability of time before which we all are equal.
Cogitation
7-Your favourite piece of equipment?I use Sony a6000, 18-105mm.
8- Is photography art? For me photography is a form of art. It helps to express the point of view of a photographer; to speak about variety of themes in the language of pictures for people across the whole world. It is so exciting when you can reach people and transfer the message without the limits of language and, if you are lucky they understand you.
9- Black And White Or Colour? I like both; it depends on situation, emotion, sense and story.
10-What are your thoughts on editing? I edit a bit all of my photos using the LightRoom.
11- Why do you share to Progressive Street and who would you like to see showcased from Progressive Street? I like this group in which I can watch many high quality works and learn a lot from the mates as well. I appreciate very much professional appraisal and feedback of the admins and sense of humour.
I like Roberto Di Patrizi works. Maybe it's not modest, but I dream to see my photos among the great photographers of Progressive-Street team.
