The Long(er) Version
Like almost every photographer, my interest in photography started back in school. After a photography elective, I spent a few years pursuing other goals. From January 2012 to June 2014, I attended the Prague School of Photography along with plenty of other courses and workshops - and since January 2013, I've been working professionally as a photographer ;)
Telling a story through images is what I consider the core purpose of any photo reportage. Whether it's a concert, an eventful day at a company summer party, or a press conference - everything has a story, and I want to capture it.
Most of my work happens on location, because real moments don't happen in a studio. My goal is to make people feel like they were there when they look at the photos.
In a world flooded with snapshots, I want to tell your story visually and deliver photos that capture emotions - keeping them alive in memory for a long time.
What sets me apart: my sense of humor and my ability to perform under pressure. A keen eye for detail, technical confidence, and solid training allow me to deliver great images even in challenging situations.
Exhibitions and Projects
Beyond client work, I also pursue personal projects on topics that matter to me - some call it fine art photography:
One image was shortlisted in a photo competition by the Wien Museum as part of the "Winter in Vienna" exhibition

My Photographic Style
You can find many examples of my work on my gallery website - it features public series and client projects, giving you a good sense of my photographic style and what to expect when you hire me.
To keep evolving my photographic style, I immerse myself in as much photography and art as I can ;)
