What kind of equipment (camera body, lens, filters, flash, tripod, cleaning equipment other) do you use?
Nikon D90, Nikon D600, Nikkor 50 1,4/f, Nikkor 16-35 4G, Nikkor 18-105 3,5-5,6/f, Nikkor 70-200 2,8/f VRII, Nikkor TC20 E III (teleconvertor), Lee filters, tripod – Vanguard+ballhead.
What do you like and dislike about your equipment, specially your camera, and how would you improve it?

I am currently satisfied with my camera equipment :), but in future I would like to buy some fisheye lens (I love that effect). What I need improve is my outdoor equipment.

 

What is your favourite lens, and why?

My favourite lens is 16-35, 18-105 and 70-200.

 

 

When you travel, what is in your essential photographic kit bag?

I usually go into nature for 2-3 days or more so I didn’t know what exactly I find…. so I always take all equipment with myself.

 

 

What kind of software/tools do you use for post-processing, if any?
Lightroom, Photoshop, Nik software, my personal favourite is Silver efex pro (in my opinion the best software for BW conversion)

 

 

How long have you been taking photographs? How do you find inspiration? How do you take your pictures?
Seriously I started taking the photographs since 2011. Inspiration I find in daily life, in NATURE, in my feelings and thoughts. I really enjoy the time which I spent outdoor it’s really important part of all process. It’s the space for me, the time when I am turning into myself. I love that change state of my mind. It’s like a return to childhood :). The feeling of the present moment. It regains my life energy and this experiences on my roads are reflecting in my images.

 


Which style of photography do you like the most, and why?
Fine art landscape photography with surreal twist. I love landscapes, but the style isn’t important for me, most important is the atmosphere, idea or vision which I can feel from the photo.
I feel more like a storyteller.

 

 

What goal are you working towards within your photography and when will you know you have reached it?
I am really glad for feedback which I get from watchers. When somebody sent me a message that my work evoke some old beautiful memories or feelings it’s a great reward for me. That’s one of my greatest and most important goals.

 

 

Looking at your own work, which piece is your favourite? Why? Please provide a link to the picture.
This is the probably one of my favourite works: http://500px.com/photo/45464574
Its my most favourite atmosphere which I am always trying to meet on my trips – ROAD IN THE MIST.
Does your work fit into any one or more distinct genres (nature, landscape, long-exposure, black-and-white, infra-red, urban, artistic, macro, vintage, vernacular, social, street)? If other, please specify.

I thought that fine art landscape, nature, dreamy, and abstract is fitting :). I love experimenting in postprocess, changing the colour channels, adding saturation and other methods which helps me to achieve the current atmosphere which I need get into image.

What kind of equipment (camera body, lens, filters, flash, tripod, cleaning equipment other) do you use?

I shoot both Canon and Nikon professionally. Canon 5D MarkII’s and Nikon D3. My favorite glass is my Canon 85 1.2 and my Nikon 300 2.8. For my underwater sessions I use an Ikelight canon housing with one or two substrobes and several ports.

 

What do you like and dislike about your equipment, specially your camera, and how would you improve it?

The only complaint I have is the weight of my gear.

 

What is your favourite lens, and why?

Canon 85 1.2 for the pure clarity of the glass. It’s my go to lens for almost all of my portrait work.

 

When you travel, what is in your essential photographic kit bag?

If I’m travelling for personal pleasure I usually grab my Leica M8 with a 50mm and my underwater gear. If it’s work, I usually grab 2 or 3 bodies with lots of glass. Always my 85 1.2, 50 1.2, 70-200 2.8, 16-35 2.8 and always something fun like my lensbaby or TS.

 

What kind of software/tools do you use for post-processing, if any?

Photoshop CS5 and Lightroom 5.

 

How long have you been taking photographs? How do you find inspiration? How do you take your pictures?

I’ve been documenting weddings for over 12 years. As a professional photographer I tell stories through my work. My clients stories and my own. I document the love that surrounds me and all of the emotions that life has to offer. It sounds corny but love truly is what inspires my images.

 

Which style of photography do you like the most, and why?

Style? Oh gosh I’m all over the board. I love shooting and documenting weddings/events but I equally love a preplanned creative shoot. I guess it depends on the client. On a personal level I love creating artistic images.

 

What goal are you working towards within your photography and when will you know you have reached it?

My goal has always been to provide the best possible images to my clients. It’s an ever evolving industry. I don’t think I’ll ever stop learning. As long as I’ve given it my best I’d say I’m there.

 

Looking at your own work, which piece is your favourite? Why? Please provide a link to the picture.

That is almost impossible. I have a new favourite image with each shoot. I guess if I had to choose just one, it would be a very personal image. One I took just days before my mom passed away. She was holding her rosary with my Dad and my 3 daughters. It’s titled Generations of Faith. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tracietaylorphotography/2922761135/

 

Does your work fit into any one or more distinct genres (nature, landscape, long-exposure, black-and-white, infra-red, urban, artistic, macro, vintage, vernacular, social, street)? If other, please specify.

Professionally I’m a wedding photographer but I’d classify myself as a photographer of life. Life can be captured in so many different genres. My images almost always include people. I suppose I can be classified as a portrait photographer specializing in weddings, underwater, artistic fine art and black and white.

 

Are there any photography websites that you visit regularly?

500px and Flickr.

 

What is the one most important lesson that you have learned since you started taking photographs?

Always be prepared. Always have a camera nearby.

 

And finally, what other interesting photographers would you like to see in this blog?

Surprise me. I love meeting new talent!
