Could you tell us a bit about yourself and what you do?<\/strong><br \/>\nMy name is Nastja Kova\u010dec and I&#8217;m a wedding photographer. About three years ago I started my own photography business and ever since<br \/>\nI&#8217;ve been working full time as a wedding\/engagement photographer, with a number of other lifestyle (family\/maternity\/newborn\/boudoir) sessions a year. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>2. When have you started to get interested in photography did you<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>take lessons?<\/strong><br \/>\nI have been interested in photography for all my life. I got my first professional camera at the age of 14 and that is the age I started to experiment. <\/p>\n<p>At first Iphotographed a lot of nature but quickly found my passion in portrait photography.<\/p>\n<p>I never went to college to get my photography education, but I did read a lot of books and online articles.<br \/>\nHowever, I learned the most through experimentation.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Barbara_Ales-1.png\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-136483\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Barbara_Ales-1-683x1024.png\" alt=\"Barbara_Ales-1\" width=\"407\" height=\"611\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Barbara_Ales-1-683x1024.png 683w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Barbara_Ales-1-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Barbara_Ales-1-600x900.png 600w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Barbara_Ales-1-37x55.png 37w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Barbara_Ales-1.png 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>3. What are you favorite shoot? weeding? portrait? nature? town?    <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I really enjoy photographing weddings and engagements. My photography style is very romantic and timeless. I love working with natural light and present my subjects in the most beautiful light possible.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Vicenza_Nastja_Kovacec_wedding_matrimonio_styled_shoot_italia-59.png\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-136480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Vicenza_Nastja_Kovacec_wedding_matrimonio_styled_shoot_italia-59-1024x683.png\" alt=\"Vicenza_Nastja_Kovacec_wedding_matrimonio_styled_shoot_italia-59\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Vicenza_Nastja_Kovacec_wedding_matrimonio_styled_shoot_italia-59-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Vicenza_Nastja_Kovacec_wedding_matrimonio_styled_shoot_italia-59-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Vicenza_Nastja_Kovacec_wedding_matrimonio_styled_shoot_italia-59-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Vicenza_Nastja_Kovacec_wedding_matrimonio_styled_shoot_italia-59-83x55.png 83w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Vicenza_Nastja_Kovacec_wedding_matrimonio_styled_shoot_italia-59-75x50.png 75w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/Vicenza_Nastja_Kovacec_wedding_matrimonio_styled_shoot_italia-59.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>4. Any fun\/epic shooting memory you would like to share with us?<\/strong><br \/>\nThat is a hard one. I remember one &#8220;incident&#8221; that really left me speechless. I was once (at the begining of my career) scouting for the location for the wedding portaits.  <\/p>\n<p>I fell in love with a long tree avenueand quickly decided this has to be a location for wedding portraits. I didint look any further. Later I brought my couple at the location and as soon as we started photographing a police car suddenly drove by and started questioning us what we were doing. I didnt realise what the fuss was about so policeman kindly explained to us this is a prison ground and the nice long tree avenue that I fell in love was actually an entrance that led to the state prison&#8230;ups.   <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>5. What photography gear do you use?<\/strong><br \/>\nI use Canon with a variety of lenses that give a special touch to the photograph.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/alexandra-christian-highres-294.png\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-136482\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/alexandra-christian-highres-294-1024x683.png\" alt=\"alexandra-christian-highres-294\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/alexandra-christian-highres-294-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/alexandra-christian-highres-294-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/alexandra-christian-highres-294-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/alexandra-christian-highres-294-83x55.png 83w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/alexandra-christian-highres-294-75x50.png 75w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/alexandra-christian-highres-294.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Do you spend a lot on processing for your portraits (on <\/strong><strong>photoshop)?<\/strong><br \/>\nI only use Lightroom for editing. I rarely spend more than 5-10 minutes editing a picture, as I don&#8217;t retouch the skin or do any other major changes. <\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ffffff\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<strong>7. Which photographers inspire you?<\/strong><br \/>\nI love film photography and romantic wedding pictures. My biggest inspiration is Jose Villa, but I also love to follow other incredible wedding<br \/>\nphotographers like Erich MyVey, Michael &amp; Carina, Nadia Meli and 2Brides. <\/p>\n<p>I also regularly follow Katelyn James and Jasmine Star forinspiration and tips how to successfully run a photography business.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/piknik-poroka-boho-nastja-kovacec-styled-shoot-celje-matrimonio-161.png\" data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-136481\" src=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/piknik-poroka-boho-nastja-kovacec-styled-shoot-celje-matrimonio-161-1024x683.png\" alt=\"piknik-poroka-boho-nastja-kovacec-styled-shoot-celje-matrimonio-161\" width=\"650\" height=\"434\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/piknik-poroka-boho-nastja-kovacec-styled-shoot-celje-matrimonio-161-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/piknik-poroka-boho-nastja-kovacec-styled-shoot-celje-matrimonio-161-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/piknik-poroka-boho-nastja-kovacec-styled-shoot-celje-matrimonio-161-600x400.png 600w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/piknik-poroka-boho-nastja-kovacec-styled-shoot-celje-matrimonio-161-83x55.png 83w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/piknik-poroka-boho-nastja-kovacec-styled-shoot-celje-matrimonio-161-75x50.png 75w, https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/piknik-poroka-boho-nastja-kovacec-styled-shoot-celje-matrimonio-161.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>8.
