• “I love to look around me and to see the beauty in people and objects.. I guess this is why I started to photograph- to find beauty-stop the moment-show it to others, that is the point. I believe that there is a beauty in everything it depends just from which site you are looking on it..
  it’s already 10 years that my passion for painting has transformed in photography.. I also dreamed about fashion, I dreamed to design shoes! Today I can say that my dream came true, as my girlfriend is a fashion designer and we are working together a lot. My two big  passions-fashion and photography  transformed into new passion-fashion photography:)
  photography is my way to make our world better, this is my credo”
• “it can be, as well as it is not always has to be a piece of art to be a good photo. I am a commercial photographer, not a “pure art” photographer”
• “My first big step was my first cover for PODIUM ART magazine 4 years ago, which I like even now”
• “I prefer color, because I love color itself”
• “No matter what it is it has to have an influence, to inspire me in order to become a good picture”
• He will never visualise something that brings bad emotions.
• He gets inspiration from beauty.

PAR KO TAS IR

Cine club Coffee & Cigarettes and new French cinema

Sestdien, 30.janvārī Spīķeru koncertzāle (Rīga, Maskavas iela 4, k.1.) notiks kārtējā kino kluba Coffee & Cigarettes skate, kas veltīta Francijas mūsdienu kino. Programmā ir apkopoti jauno autoru darbi, kuru panākumus ir apstiprinājušas starptautisko kinofestivālu balvas.

Skatītāju spriedumam tiks demonstrētas sešas filmas: piecas īsmetrāžas un viena pilnmetrāžas. Programmas kopējais ilgums (ieskaitot starpbrīdi) – 4 stundas.

Skates īsmetrāžas daļu atklāj Stefanī Lanzaka un Fransuā Leroja animācijas darbs «Mei Ling», kas stāsta par ķīniešu jaunieti, kas pieradinājusi astoņkāji. Tālāk ķīniešu interjerus nomaina franču daudzstāvu ēku skudru pūznis, kur izvēršas režisora Fabrisa Maruka komēdijas «Pārsteigums» darbība – virknes nepatīkamu incidentu rezultātā, sieva pārsteidz pavisam nevainīgo vīru gultā ar jauno kaimiņieni.

Kā trešo darbu skatītājs ieraudzīs Žeremī Klapena multfilmu «Sašķelšanās», kurā ar meteorītu traumētais varonis ir spiests adaptēties pie savām jaunām spējām. Tālāk sekos Lusijas Djušenas mistiskā drāma «Debesu aicinājums» par iekšējo baiļu un aizspriedumu pārvarēšanu. Un pirmo skates daļu noslēdz Remī Kaiula melnā komēdija «Spēle slepus», kas brīdina visus būt modriem, kad jau pirmajā tikšanās reizē jūs aicina pavadīt brīvdienas ārpilsētas mājā.

Pēc starpbrīža, kurā katrs varēs pacienāties ar īstu franču kruasānu no ceptuves «Cadets de Gascogne», skatītājus gaida pilnmetrāžas komēdija «Luīza-Mišels», režisoru Gustava Kerverna un Benuā Delepina kopdarbs. Filma, kuru sauc par neprātīgu anarhisko fantāziju, it kā sastāv no daudzajiem humoristiskiem skečiem, kur nedaudz pamuļķīgi un labestīgi naivi personāži rīko tiesu pār pasaules ļaunumu. Filma, bez citām balvām, ieguvusi Sundance Film Festival 2009 žūrijas speciālo balvu, balvu par labāko scenāriju – San Sebastián International Film Festival 2008 un Amiens International Film Festival 2008 skatītāju simpātijas balvu.

Pēc tradīcijas, kino kluba Coffee & Cigarettes skates laikā tiks rīkota balsošana, kuras laikā katrs skatītājs varēs atstāt komentāru un atdot savu balsi par iepatikušos filmu. Visi komentāri un balsošanas rezultāti tiks nosūtīti filmu autoriem.

Skate organizēta sadarbībā ar Francijas Kultūras centru.

• “I don’t like speaking about myself. I love to show myself through my work, my stile, my image.”
• “However, my story is simple – a long time ago my dad bought a camera Zenit ET, with which he loved to picture me and mom, and the sea. I remember when, being a child, I was irritated by similar photos in albums and I used to ask my parents why do they take them. Later, at school, I began to take photos on my phone – back then, I had nothing but a 2 mp built in camera. I suppose I won’t recall my first responsible shot: it happen so instantly, from a cool pic to an effort of self-expression. I felt photography absorbed me, I developed a better technique.”
• “For me, photography is a climb to the top of Kilimanjaro. Why not Everest? Because I like to be different. Why say “a climb”? Because I don’t like easy targets. Why to the top? Because I think that the things I’m doing now are just a foundation of my potential. I’m only at the foot of Kilimanjaro, my friends, and it gives me goosebumps.”
• “Actually, I don’t count myself to be a photographer, and I don’t want to become one. Photo, graphic, style, image – notions, that interlace so tightly in everything that interests me.”
• “Now I can surely say, that if I would call myself a photographer, then it would be a portraitist and a black-and-whiter. I’ve been told in college that there are people, who draw with colours, and there are people, who play with light and shade. I relate to the second type. Colour is important in a shot if it has a meaning or gives us the atmosphere.”
• “I put film-made photos above the digital ones. It has a lot of reasons, but I like to give an example: Chopin’s waltz – classical or electrical piano?”
• “Ideal models don’t exist. The ideal is not perfect. But you can find very interesting crow’s noses and very sexy crooked teeth.”
• She will never visualise perfect people, boring faces and bad taste.
• “Of course everyone’s photos are different like handwriting is different. If it’s not, it makes you ask if everything is ok with this guy.”
• “I had an experience working for an order, taking glamorous photos of young girls. I also took pics on a lomo-cam from outside a train window. And all these are pixeled melodies. Or grains of silver.”
• “Music inspires me. Brit rock, rock’n’roll, the sixties, the seventies… something classical eventually. Images – people, who’s life, like books, an I want to became an illustrator. I’m inspired by feelings. I’m inspired by everything that makes my heart beat faster.”
