Key Takeaways
“Sometimes less is more. Don’t overload your work with too many details”
- Olga says that Russia is very limited for fine art photographers and her first jobs were weddings, which are all about client tastes and not really artistic. So she moved to Czech Republic.
- Olga advises to do promotion and marketing as much as you can – take part in photo contests, events, find nice people
- The fascinating thing about the fine art photography for Olga is the shapes and matching them together
Resources mentioned
- Olga’s favorite quote is by Saint-Exupery: “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”
- Favorite tools
- CaptureOne – imaging software, better for raw files
- Adobe Photoshop
- Camera & light – Nikon D800 – camera doesn’t matter so much – you need to take camera that fits your hand, you can be creative with iPhone as well
- Book: “How to pose the Model” by William Mortensen
Special thanks to Olga for joining me today. See you next time!
