Interview with Jarka Hrnčárková

Tell us about yourself and the work you do.

I´m Jarka, I´m 22 years old girl from Czech Republic. I started with photography and photo manipulations about four years ago and it quickly become my passion.

I started as nature photographer and have tried many different styles before I´ve found what suits me best, which is portrait and fashion photography and fashion photo manipulation. I also write tutorials about post processing and photo manipulations (mostly here on PhotoshopTutorials) and write blog about the same topic.

How do you keep the work you do unique and different from others?

I focus on things which I like and emotions I feel and try to put these into my work and hope that it´s what makes my work unique. I like to show others how I see the world around us as a magical place with lots of hidden emotions and stories to tell.

I think that another aspect which makes me at least a little unique is that I don´t see borders between photography and photo manipulation. Both are digital mediums which should allow you to share your visions with others … any means necessary :)

Where do you draw on for creativity and inspiration in your work?

Lots of inspiration comes from movies, paintings and photos of other artists. I can become inspirited by color palette I see, light setting, prop … well by almost anything. Then I tried to find different way how can I compose that certain element into my work.

Lots of ideas have also come to me at night when I was trying to fall asleep and I just lied in bed with closed eyes and let my mind to do whatever it wants.

On average, how much time do you put into the work you do?

It varies for photo manipulation and for photography. To do post processing of photography usually takes me from five to ten hours, it depends on how much retouching I do, how much I play with colors, lights and shadows etc.
