My Training as a Photographer
In addition to my training at the Prague Photo School, I work as an assistant to photographers. Being able to look over their shoulders as they work gives me many insights and helps me in my own work in ways that are hard to put into words. I also enjoy reading widely about photography and related subjects, and I continually expand my library. In addition, I completed a degree in Business Informatics, worked for many years as a successful software developer and team leader of several teams, and am currently immersing myself in the developments of Artificial Intelligence.
Alongside this, I regularly attend workshops and events to further my education:
