Anca Cernoschi's interview

" I like indoors, like an improvised movie scene in an empty room with just some pieces of furniture, something comfortable and not too professional." Anca Cernoschi

"Purple"

Anca, could you tell us how did your passion for photography begin ?

I was studying art for about three years when I started to take pictures.

First just landscapes but soon I realized that photography gave me more possibilities to obtain the result I wanted than painting (or maybe I wasn't talented enough !)


A revelation... How lucky you are ! I noted that you're still a student. In an art school ?

Yes, I study graphic design for a few months now. I studied decorative arts for about 4 years before that.

"xX"

And do you feel it's your way ?

Yes, I would like to work in photography or design. I can't see myself doing something else.

Of course your style is evolving at every shot, and we can see your curiosity in your tries, indoors, outdoors, BW and color, but is there a genre that attracts you more than another ?

I prefer BW film photography (indoors usually, like a movie scene) but I am not yet at the level where I want to be in that genre (or any other), so I keep experimenting.


As the majority of the contributing artists of this site, experienced or not... Who are your favorite photographers ? Do they have an influence on your style ?

There are many classic and beginners I like but the classics influenced me the most. I'm not that open to modern approaches in photography but I admire many young photographers for their courage to try very different things.










Model Delia





You make part of the digital generation. What about film ?...

I'd like to say I enjoy film but for now both, even more digital.


What locations do you prefer to use mainly ?

Indoors the most but not studios, more like a corner of the model's home, an improvised studio in an empty room with just some pieces of furniture and the lights, something comfortable and not too 'professional'.


Some words about your models ? With who are you dreaming to work ?

I usually look for a model to fit one idea I have, or some interesting personalities because I'm curious if I can capture their personalities.

I don't want to work with someone in particular, I can tell you if I find someone interesting but for now everyone I asked agreed to pose for me (lucky me !).

"Dora 8"










"Dora 10"

"MMll"

What is your own favorite photo ? Could you choose one ?

I like one picture for about 2-3 weeks after I made it. Usually I don't like my work that much after such a long time. Probably I get used to it, I don't know. It's the only one I still like after almost 2 years since I made it. It is my first nude.


You certainly have many creative ideas in mind. What is your actual project ?

I work on a group project called "Film Noir" inspired photography, and I have a personal project on nude photography.

"Room 1"

"457656"





I'm impatient to see that ! Have you some other challenges you're dreaming about in a near future ?

I would like to make short films and maybe some fashion photographs.

Knowing your success, I'm sure you're preparing an exhibition...

In my home town, at the Cultural Center for Students in March 2009, I think.


Bravo ! Are you thinking about a book ?

No, not yet, I'm only a beginner.

"BW Nude 1"

"T"

A talented beginner, believe me. What is your best way to promote your work ?

I honestly don't know. I'm not very interested in that aspect. I post on my website and in a few photography sites and forums.


Where can we purchase your prints ?

Send me an e-mail or contact me through my website, I don't sell on other sites.


Any message you’d like to leave our readers ?

If you have an opinion about my work please feel free to express it on my website (critiques especially).

Message received ! Positive critiques of course...
Again bravo Anca. Your work is impressive and we'll follow you with a great pleasure !
