5 questions for Lukasz Biederman
What is the one thing that gets you out of bed in the morning?
Definitely a cup of coffee.
What would be your perfect day?
I have to admit that almost every day of my life seems perfect (or at least close). I feel happy and maybe only wish to have a bit more time for taking pictures.
What is the longest trip you ever took to make a photo?
I often drive for hours before I stop the car and take a picture. I don’t remember what was the longest trip, but I do not regret any of them — even when I did not take a single picture. I love traveling with the purpose of taking a picture.
What was the hardest image you ever had to make?
Many of the night shots were really hard to take: Empty streets in the late hours did not allow me to feel safe and relaxed. But, in fact, I believe my hardest picture is still waiting for me somewhere in the future.
What is your favorite thing about being a photographer?
Photography is the best way I can share my deepest feelings with other people — I could not do it in any other way.
My lovely twins: Ignacy (a boy - left) and Kinga (a girl – right)
