As long as I can remember, I have been deeply passionate about travel photography. Despite my enthusiasm, I longed to refine my photography skills to reflect my creative vision more professionally. The pivotal moment in my artistic journey occurred in 2017 when I had the fortune of meeting Helga Partikel, an inspiring instructor, during an intoductory course at the renowned Prague School of Photography. Her passion for photography and insightful guidance opened a new world for me. Since that first encounter, I have eagerly participated in several courses at her photography college, where I have witnessed a remarkable transformation in my abilities. With her expert mentorship, what began as a simple hobby has blossomed into a heartfelt passion and profession, fueling my desire to capture the world in all its beauty. Through my trained eye for potential subjects, I have learned to be more vigilant and see things I would have overlooked before. When I am out with my camera, I am so focused that I forget everything around me and lose all sense of time. To sum it up, I would phrase it like this: „Photography makes me happy and is balm for my soul“ My work has just been featured with the cover story in the Mix Edition #128 of Lens Magazine.
