How and when did you get into photography?

In 2008 after my politology studies I didn’ know what to do in my life, but one day suddenly I came up with the idea to be proffessional wedding photographer. It was very good idea!

What does photography mean to you?

Photography is a great part of my life. It is the best way of expressing myself.

Please briefly describe your photography style for our readers.

My style? Emotion! Sensitivity! Light!

Where do you get inspiration from? I take inspiration from my favourite photographers, movies, books, people I meet.

Studio, on location or both?

I prefer open air sessions.

Would you consider yourself a hobbyist or a paid professional?

I am paid professional photographer.

What has been your most memorable session and why?
