What inspired you to become a fashion photographer?
Ingrida Rutkutė: As far as I remember myself, I was always about visuals. It's just hard to describe the feeling when you go outside and you see everything in images, pictures. Even now, on the way to come here, I've taken ten images already. It's not about posting on social media, it's just for myself. All these angles, constructions, compositions, everything is just in my mind. So some people call me crazy because I cannot not take the picture and I'm just obsessed with that. On the other hand, also what inspires me is probably other people's work, how they create. It's not about copying, it's about taking something and then putting into your art. When I check other people's photos, I always analyse, I zoom in close to your eyes to see what was the light set up etc. This is why I cannot watch a movie just normally as a person, as a viewer, I'm analysing what was the setting there, where was camera coming from. That inspires me - surroundings.
