I have spent a lot of time in nature since my childhood. It was only question of time when some camera appear in my life and I begin taking photos.

I fell into photography 4 years ago. At my begining, the book 100 Ways to take Better Landscape Photographs from Guy Edwardes really helped me to understand light, composition and photography technique. Although this book was published five years ago and the author use(d) mainly analog cameras, I would recommend it for each landscape photographer.

Currently, I specialize mainly on floodplain landscape of Odra basin. I attempt to capture the common pond, blooming meadow or meandering river Odra in unusual and attractive way. To achive that, I am determined to wake up early and go several kilometres in fresh snow or high, from drops wet grass. Either in field when I am shooting or at home when I am doing important post proces of my images, I am very perfectionist. My approach pays off. I won many photography competitions aimed on young photographers. My photos appeared in the calendar and are exhibited in private medical centre. I am also the editor of one of the leading Czech photography server FotoRadce.cz.

Photography has become sense of my life. It is my hobby I devote all my free and actually also ,,unfree" time. It is the reason why I am looking out of the window on the sky when I am in some building for a long time. It is the reason why I am looking for new scenes and compositions when I am in car or bus or just on walk with my dog. But mainly, it is the journey finding the beauty.
