I SHOOT INTERIORS & ARCHITECTURE
Interiors and architecture photography is a field which I primarily focus on in my commission work. My goal is to photograph the premises of your house, apartment, restaurant, hotel and others so that the photos themselves sell, attract the attention of potential customers and allow your object to stand out. The purpose of my photographs is that they not only represent the given company or space, but mainly that everyone who looks at them remembers it and has the desire to visit it or buy it.
I shoot landscapes
My journey as a photographer has been ever closely linked to the landscape and nature itself. Year by year I become more aware of the importance, fragility and variability of nature and I am also interested in the influences and processes that shape it. Also I increasingly discover and realize its hidden effect on man, but also the effect of man on it. Since my youth I’ve always had the need to seek peace and solitude in nature. My try to capture it the best I can goes with it hand in hand.
MY GEAR
My photographic journey has been since 2015 strongly associated with Olympus (now OM System), where I worked as a product specialist until 2020 and with which I still cooperate as an external lecturer and OM System Ambassador. Thanks to this, new horizons opened up for me, both in terms of photographic technology and knowledge and greater openness about photographic motifs. I was also able to lead my first photography workshops here and the opportunity to share my experiences and help others improve what they enjoy makes a big sense to me and I enjoy it very much too.
