JustLady.What distinguishes the amateur from the professional educated specialist? I must say my opinion: I do not mind fans. I think pro conservative, and lover - the artist. No?
Andrew Shavin.In general, a professional - a person who earns money for their work. Amateur differs from a professional fleet of equipment, which gives the result, approach to shooting. When I have a promo shot, I first draw sketches for yourself, consult with the designer. Professional photo shoot is coming to both the terms of reference.
JL.What should educate the photographer? Can we trust the work of the expert?
Andrew. Education gives knowledge of the rules of portraiture, framing, angles, knowledge about the proper light. Classical, in one word. But it is impossible to teach creative thinking, you can not teach intuition. I am educated photographer, but without practice, I would have been zero. It takes practice, lots of practice. It is necessary to self: visit workshops and exhibitions.

JL.Come on, who are interested? You better tell that trend, except liftolukov?
Andrew. Popularity is really determined now huskies. In the popular masses tightened figure in the mirror, filmed on the iPhone. If we talk about something more artistic, the relevance of the lost photoshop, retouching, color heaped overlay filters. From this, I agree that nauseated. Look at the cover of magazines. There's more and more of these persons. Returning to the subject of professionalism, my task - to remove the character so that it looked very natural. People are accustomed to thinking of wrinkles or other defects alleged imperfections on the skin. But this is the beauty. Not perfectly and artificial perfection, and mobility, slight negligence, in a spicy flaws.
JL.Soon will start the season of weddings. What should be the perfect bride?
Andrew. And here again. There is no perfect bride is a bad photographer. I like simple, concise dress, well cleaned hair. But if the bride in the pictures get scared - out of the profession. Perfect bride happy and did not remember about the camera, not looking at her. I'm working in the format of reporting, there are no performances.
Guests at the wedding also need attention
JL.What you get higher pleasure in your work?
Andrew. When it cause a reaction of a man who does not know the people in the photo. In this most buzz.
JL.Do you have your own collection of backstage?
Andrew. No, I do not Maniace. Make sense? I'm very sensitive to people's personal space. Always warn the person if I want to post his picture. Indeed, there is a very funny pictures, but I have my own personal code, and it does not allow me to exploit these images for personal use.
JL.How to find the photographer, if no links?

JL.Let's say I liked someone, then what?
Andrew. I always insist on meeting. It is important to pre-meet. You need to make a technical project: what you want. The more information you give it, the better results were obtained.
JL.What information do you want to get?
Andrew. I always ask: "Guys, let's say, in front of you your wedding album, the pictures you see in him?"
JL.What you should pay attention at the meeting? What should be alerted?
Andrew. You should not push its appearance. Often people of creative professions dress informally. But brute force is not unusual and should be. Strangely, if you would be embarrassed in front of guests for him. Then you need to study his work, portfolio, which he will bring as a presentation. Look at a wedding as a whole. It's better than a lot of shots from different events. We need to understand how he manages successful photos in one shot. Suddenly the two great shot of the day.

Andrew. About 10% of people after me to continue the search. And the reason is always - the price tag. It's OK.
JL.How to prepare for a wedding photo shoot?
Andrew. Mow husband nails, remove hair from the ears and nose. And let him shave razor old - less irritation. The girl let capture convenient extra shoes, proven. Typically bridal shoes - new high heel shoes. This is not only corn but also a violation of the circulatory system. If hot, you may lose consciousness.
JL.How long do you need to find a photographer?
Andrew. Not less than six months. Have good pics of dates in the summer in the spring no. Or you must be lucky. But why this hope?
JL.A photographer has just come in time?
Andrew. No, I'm getting ready, too. Get directions, which we will follow, and walk on it in advance - photograph location. Then I send them to the newlyweds, and we agree specific places. This ensures that all our time will be devoted to shooting and not the search for and unnecessary traveling. I have studied all the places and know where a good light, a few people and a beautiful view.

JL.I want to know everything about the models! They lengthen the legs, reduce waist?
Andrew. There is a certain list of angles to be used, and all. Each thing has its own winning angle. Easy touch-up only on the skin. We have different models, and they are all very simple girl. I work with models plus, it makes no sense to reduce their waist, they fit and good. And I like these trends. We ordered a size 48-50 mannequin, which costs 3,000 euros. And it is relevant, I can tell.
