“A photograph only becomes art when it`s printed. The rest is just data.”

This year, my black and white portrait “Freckles Beauty” was awarded Silver in the Portrait category at the prestigious Exposure One Awards 2025 in New York. The contest gathered thousands of submissions from photographers across 64 countries, making the recognition even more meaningful.

There are weddings that feel like fairy tales, and then there are weddings that go beyond — where elegance, emotion, and culture meet in a timeless celebration. Catalina and Andrej’s international wedding at the enchanting Château Béla in Slovakia was exactly that: a day filled with poetry, color, music, and love.

Being selected among the 100 Photographers in the 100 Years of Leica project is one of the greatest milestones of my career. To be chosen by a company like Leica — a brand that has defined the very essence of photography for over a century — is not only an honor, but also a deeply humbling recognition of my work.

Photography has always been about more than capturing faces — it is about capturing essence. My Sensual Beauty Project was born from a deep fascination with the elegance of the human body, the poetry of curves, and the timeless dance between light and shadow.
