My interest in photography began early and developed into a professional path after my studies. In the early 1980s, I worked for several years as a wedding and portrait photographer, gaining a foundation in composition, light and working with people.
After that period, I spent many years working in professional studios and photographic finishing laboratories and later on for ten years as an operator in a technical environment. Although I was no longer actively photographing on a personal level, this experience deepened my technical understanding of the photographic process, image quality and craftsmanship behind the final print.
Around 2015, the “photography bug” was triggered again. Returning to photography, however, meant fully entering the digital era. As a self-taught photographer, this proved to be a slow and sometimes challenging journey — learning new techniques, digital workflows and post-processing from the ground up.
Today, photography has once again become an essential part of my life. Through nature photography, I seek calm, balance and authenticity, focusing on light, atmosphere and the quiet details of the natural world. My work reflects both a long-standing respect for photographic tradition and a continuous process of learning and rediscovery.
I use photography as a way to observe and tell quiet stories — stories about people, nature, wildlife, and the small details that often go unnoticed. These can be everyday moments or rare encounters, subtle scenes or powerful expressions of nature’s beauty.
