I picked up a camera in my teens and never really put it down.

Photography didn't start as a plan. It started as an obsession — that feeling of seeing something and needing to capture it before it disappeared. I studied photography formally, graduated, and then kept going. The education was the beginning. The real school has been the thousands of hours since, with a camera in my hands, watching people.

What I love most isn't the technical side, though I care about that too. It's people. Meeting strangers, earning their trust quickly, and then getting to witness something true — a nervous laugh, a hand squeeze, a moment between two people who forgot I was there. That's what I'm after every time.

When I'm not shooting weddings, I'm still shooting.

I collect old analog cameras — probably more than I should admit. On weekends you'll sometimes find me in my darkroom, developing film by hand, watching images appear in the developer like small miracles. I experiment with cyanotypes, lith printing, double exposures. I find that working with analog slows me down in a way that makes my digital eye sharper.

Photography isn't something I do. It's how I see the world.

I also teach — workshops, conferences, one-on-one mentoring — because I believe that if something changed your life, you pass it on. I've spoken at international photography conferences, co-host the Origins Workshop for Czech photo graphers, and run a podcast about the craft and business of photography. Helping other photographers find their voice is one of the things I'm most proud of.

If my work resonates with you — if you feel something when you look at the pictures — then we'll probably get along beautifully.

Let's talk.
