Interview:

1. When you look at your old photos, do you feel like deleting them, or do you think, “I was already a genius back then”?

Actually, many of my older photos entertain me more. In my opinion, I took my best photos between 2019 and 2021.

2. Why “Zatim bez nazvu”?

I overthought my Instagram name for about two months. I couldn’t come up with anything, so I finally said to myself, ‘Forget it, I’ll leave it without a name for now.’ That’s when it hit me, and the rest is history.

3. How much of your content do you create purely for reach—and how much is authentically?

I used to do that occasionally, but it didn’t really fulfill me, and I felt like a slave to it. Today, my primary condition is that my content must entertain me first. Reach comes second.

4. Have you ever chosen a model purely because you wanted to end up in bed with her?

I had to think carefully to answer honestly, but the answer is no. I’m not saying it never crossed my mind, but a photographer only has one reputation, and I’ve seen many photographers lose theirs easily. Professional behavior is absolutely fundamental.

5. Are there any collaborations you would absolutely refuse, even if they brought in big money?

Not that I ever had such an opportunity, but there’s plenty I’d say no to. Photography has always primarily been a hobby for me, and I honestly can’t even think of a collaboration that would make sense for both me and my followers.

6. What annoys you most about other photographers? Honestly, who really irritates you?

Anyone who puts watermarks on their photos. Realistically, no one cares who took the photo, and if your photo isn’t recognizable by itself, something might be wrong. For example, you immediately recognize photos by @jako1989 because no one else shoots like him.

7. Do you follow trends, or do you prefer being a trendsetter?

I think I only managed to create a trend once. It was an Instagram filter with a mask saying ‘ZATIM BEZ KORONAVIRU,’ and it accumulated over a million views. I remember even Renne Dang used it back then, haha.

8. If you had to become a full-time influencer, what would you sell first, and what would you call it?

I’d sell water because the magic is that you’re basically selling the packaging—the reason people choose your water. The actual water itself is just incidental.
