Tell us something about yourself
I`m 22 years photographer under a pseudonym ElizRoxs based in Poland, Krakow. My real name is Eliz Dyachenko, I`m a Ukrainian. I was born near the sea town in big family of doctors and I have two brothers and a sister. When I was 18 I decided to leave my parent`s house and moved in Poland for studying.

How and when did you get into photography?
I`ll started to make my first photos when I was 14 years old. It was not serious pictures just for fun, but my mum realy supported me and my hobby. My “first models” was my siblings and then I also start to make a pictures of my school friends.

 

What does photography mean to you?
It`s an art :) I don`t think I can answer to this question completely, because about art I can talk all day long. I`d be very optimistic, if I tell that I would like to show a model soul in a picture, but I always want to. In reality my art is also a part of my soul, every picture for me is like my own babe.

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.
I make model tests (photography for models portfolio) and fashion, editorial photography. In model tests I prefer natural light and natural make up, but in fashion photography I like to create, so I can make different photo every time.

Where do you get inspiration from?
It is everywhere, but most of my inspiration is people I meet.

Think you in advance what you want in the picture?
Yes, but I every time try to feel my model, to make different shots and then I just look what is  better.

 

Studio, on location or both?
Both :)

 

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?
Of course paid professional :)

What has been your most memorable session and why?
Hah, it is to difficult question. Every session I kind of  memorable.

 

What has been the biggest source of inspiration in your work?

Everyday and every moment can be my inspiration. When I was a teenager I was interested in fashion photography and I spent a lot of time looking at photos in “Vogue” and “Harper's bazaar” so I started dreaming to make pictures like that. My inspirations were also Ellen Von Unwerth, Alexi Lubomirski, Mario Testino, Arthur Elgort  because I like their works. 

Nikon or Canon? Favorite lens?
Camera Nikon. But my favorite lens is MC Helios- 81H 2/50 , I`m a little “old school”.

 

What is one piece of advice you would like to offer a new photographer looking to start their own business?
