\u201cIf you love what you do, you don’t have to work at all\u201d. Read our interview with Christian Vierig (Styleograph), a\u00a0street fashion photographer from Berlin. He\u00a0explains how to take a\u00a0great picture and what really matters in fashion photography. Even if you are not into reading, see his stunning shoots from London, Paris, New York, Barcelona and Milan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We met Christian at Fashion Week Poland in \u0141\u00f3d\u017a. He came to take some pictures in the main Expo building hall. \u201cI\u2019m very picky with shooting fashion\u201d \u2013 firstly I didn\u2019t believe him. Wherever you turned, you saw beautiful people wearing the latest trends, just as from the catwalk. Dream place for a fashion photographer. Later I realized what he meant. Street fashion photography is not about being “dressed up”. It’s all about people, places and moments.<\/p>\n

ANNA BOJAROWICZ \u2013 Why fashion photography?<\/i><\/p>\n

CHRISTIAN VIERIG \u2013 I had three passions in my life: travelling, meeting interesting people and taking photos. I was trying to find a way toH combine it. Fashion seemed to be a great focus. I was into street photography before. <\/p>\n

AB\u00a0– When did you take the very first shoots?<\/i><\/p>\n

CV – In Sweden. While doing an internship. I approached some people in a small Swedish city, asking for their photo. I told them I’m \u201cthat\u201d famous photographer from Germany\u2026<\/p>\n

AB\u00a0– Haha, you really did that? “I\u2019m a famous German photographer\u201d?<\/i><\/p>\n

CV – Since I didn\u2019t know how to approach and introduce. I told them I’m having famous website in Germany, yeah. I did it 2-3 times at first. Then I realized I don\u2019t have to make up, people are open for being photographed. The reactions where amazing so I kept going.<\/p>\n

AB\u00a0– So, you got inspired by Sweden. I\u2019m not surprised at all. They\u2019re known from good taste.<\/i><\/p>\n

CV – I already got the idea of having the blog before. I wouldn’t say \u201cI started because I was inspired by Sweden\u201d. No. But when I was there, it was so different from what I was used to see. I was curious, I opened my eyes widely and started to observe. Sweden was perfect.\u00a0 And of course people have a great style there as well. <\/p>\n

AB – Were you into photography before?<\/i> <\/p>\n

CV – Not that much. All has started in Sweden. I wasn\u2019t even into fashion before.<\/p>\n

AB\u00a0– And \u00a0are you now? The next fashion show has just started and we\u2019re still here, enjoying our lunch\u2026<\/i><\/p>\n

CV – Hm. I would say I’m more an outsider<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

AB\u00a0– So, let’s continue. What happened after Sweden? \u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

CV – I went back to Germany and travelled around there. Shooting during the weekends in different cities etc. In September I decided to go to Milan Fashion Week. I had this idea of the blog and just experimented with it.<\/p>\n

AB\u00a0– And it worked. If you know what you want to do and keep doing it well, it has to come with a prize. Hobby turns into profession and then?<\/i> <\/p>\n

CV – If you love what you do, you don’t have to work at all. I’m thankful to do what I love and to be able to live from it. I think every person should try that way. Would make the world a better place.<\/p>\n

AB\u00a0– More happy for sure.<\/i> <\/p>\n

CV – I always carry my camera around during daytime, but I never feel like being at work. <\/p>\n

AB\u00a0– That\u2019s also easy to notice in your pictures. Everything precisely selected. People, places, moments. You take your time. It\u2019s not just fashion.<\/i><\/p>\n

CV – I think the essence of a great photo is the combination of those elements. I love to shoot interesting people, well-dressed, in a special, candid moment.<\/p>\n

Beautiful background also captures the spirit of the place. That\u2019s why I try to travel as much as possible. I go to the biggest Fashion Weeks, music festivals, I visit London, Paris, New York, Milan, Berlin, \u0141\u00f3d\u017a, Madrid, Copenhagen. Always looking for new. But when you ask about my favourite place to be I would say Berlin, where I live now, Barcelona, Copenhagen and London. Those cities are always so inspiring. You can find this perfect combination I mentioned before at every corner. <\/p>\n
