Veronika G<br />
Where do you get inspiration from? I find my inspiration in old paintings. I am not trying to duplicate the work of<br />
masters from centuries ago; rather I study their techniques, and learn the use of various colors and understand<br />
the light. For example, I admire the work of Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn. His understanding of light and the<br />
capture of portraits are unsurpassed to this day and surely an incentive not only for photographers.<br />
Studio, on location or both? I enjoy taking photos outside and indoors. I was able to establish my own studio<br />
where I feel the most comfortable and able to produce the work I love. The studio provides a place where I have<br />
all of my equipment in one location and therefore I can focus on my creativity. I use the space to organize and present<br />
workshops and lectures about photography. I teach all aspects of photography, the use of lighting systems,<br />
color sense and also communications skills photographers need when working with models.<br />
I enjoy utilizing services such as hairstylists and makeup artists and my studio provides room and opportunity to<br />
work together. I think that all the effort I put into establishing my studio has paid off; it gives me the flexibility to<br />
book clients and work at all hours rather than renting a studio and trying to coordinate everyone’s availability.<br />
Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional? I consider myself a photographer, whose job is<br />
his hobby. Throughout the years I developed my own personal and recognizable style and I appreciate that my<br />
clients seek my services to obtain the resulted photos. I’m not sure what makes a professional; I can only share<br />
that I love what I do and getting paid only helps me to further expand my creativity and work. I wouldn’t be where<br />
I am today without my clients.<br />
