About Me

For many (not just photographers), the above statement can prove very challenging and difficult, but for me, it’s the other way around. And there is a very simple reason for that – children. They fill me with so much energy, pure joy and ideas, that I decided to specialise in outdoor family and children portrait photography. Here is my story.

It all started in 1985, which really isn’t relevant yet, so I’ll skip to my childhood and constant stealing of dad’s camera. It was a really old Yashica and I’ll never forget the amazing feeling and experience of changing the films and eagerly waiting to get the photos from the photo studio. It’s a shame younger generations don’t appreciate the start of camera technology, but that’s life. It moves on and I did too.

Surviving through teenage times (and hating school), my heart strived towards computer science, photography and working with children – what a combination, right? I never imagined I’ll combine them together, but I did. At nights I’ve studied “computers” and software, during days I’ve struggled in school while evenings, weekends and holidays were reserved for working with children. For years, I have been a swimming instructor, teaching kids between 4 and 12 years of their first strokes. I could say this was also the start of my photography career as I was creating swimming memories of all children.
