Photography is a means of self-expression for me, and I feel happy and fulfilled behind the lens.

                  I have been taking photographs since childhood. For the past 10 years, I have been doing it intensively and have tried all kinds of subjects and scenes...

Street art appeals to me the most because I have to be quick and ready to capture the magic of the moment. I like to photograph people and try to capture their essence, the emotions they are experiencing. I also enjoy participating in public events, such as motorcycle rallies, which are my specialty, or local social events. I have experience photographing for companies and I take a lot of photos on my travels, which I usually try to turn into public presentations.

I prefer black-and-white photography because I find it more realistic. But when I travel, I don't want to deprive viewers of the experience of real perception, so I don't give up on color either.

                  I shoot with a Canon EOS 6D and am a big                      fan of this brand.

                  My photography has been influenced by                         Jindřich Štreit, Kevin V. Tone, and František                      Drtikol, but I am trying to find my own path...
