ROB PIROSKA - My World Through A Lens

What does it mean to be a fashion photographer?
Well, it looks simple in the TV, a great atmosphere, all those vibes and chaos, so people might think that photographers just enjoy the time when shooting fashion shows. However, you cannot use a speedlight, lighting conditions change instantly and models move all the time. It is a demanding job and success takes time and hard work. I believe this profession is about being patient, educated, knowledgeable and talented. 

How does it feel to photoshoot prestigious events like the European PGA Tour or Czech Fashion Week? 
Exhausted. It is not only about having absolutely professional equipment (super expensive lenses) but also to be able to handle it with closed eyes – mostly due to instantly changing lighting conditions when there is hardly any time to look at the camera controls. Moreover, it is a very responsible job to capture all the important moments that clients want to see. Everything goes so quickly.

What is your mission in the photography world? 
During my professional career, I have discovered many wonders of photography, however, the most important is to find a sort of symbiosis between what a photographer would like to shoot and what a client really wants to see as an output. I believe, this is what perfect photography means.

Fashion shows are always difficult to capture. Sometimes, I have only two attempts to take a perfect picture. To be honest, most of the time, there is only one chance to do so. Clients want stylish and memorable pictures – something truly glorious with all attributes of beauty and elegance. Thus, photographing fashion shows is a completely different level of advanced photography which require some years of experience to master.

Fashion shows, events, portraits, sports, weddings and product photography have been forming my professional career since an era of the film – analogue photography. Those ones, I can certainly deliver.
