Summer Light Festival in Bad Honnef – Speaking for BPP.Photography

I had the honor of being invited as a lector and speaker, sharing my perspective on photography, creativity, and the emotional power of imagery. Standing in front of passionate photographers and colleagues, I was reminded once again how important it is to not only create, but also to share knowledge and inspire one another. Teaching, after all, is as much about giving as it is about receiving — the questions, the curiosity, and the discussions with participants brought new energy and insights.

Nedeľný portrétny workshop s kolegami

A hoci som bol v úlohe lektora, aj pre mňa bol tento deň veľmi obohacujúci. Každé takéto stretnutie mi pripomenie, že učenie je obojstranný proces. Vďaka otázkam, diskusiám a energii kolegov som si sám osviežil vlastnú kreativitu a naučil sa nové pohľady na veci, ktoré už možno poznám roky.

My Vatican Trip

My Vatican Trip

Strávil som 10 intenzívnych dní vo Vatikáne, kde som spolu s kolegom Jánom Tribulom pokrýval spravodajstvo pre televíziu Markíza pri príležitosti úmrtia a pohrebu Svätého Otca. Bolo to mimoriadne silné a náročné obdobie, s minimom času na čokoľvek iné – fotenie tentoraz ustúpilo do úzadia. Napriek tomu sa mi podarilo zachytiť pár autentických momentiek zo zákulisia a atmosféry tohto výnimočného miesta. Malý výber z nich nájdete v galérii.

Svadba & Emócie: Zachytenie okamihov, ktoré pretrvajú navždy

Svadba je jedinečný deň, ktorý sa nedá zopakovať. Je to okamih plný lásky, radosti, dojatia a nefalšovaných emócií – momenty, ktoré si zaslúžia byť zachytené v tej najčistejšej podobe.

Ako fotograf som mal možnosť vidieť nespočetné množstvo svadobných príbehov – od intímnych obradov v prírode až po veľkolepé slávnosti na tých najkrajších miestach. Každá svadba je unikátna, no jedno majú všetky spoločné – skutočné emócie, ktoré robia tieto chvíle neopakovateľnými.
