I graduated from FTVŠ UK in Bratislava. Sports led me to photography. In the beginning, it was a sport, but I ended up in the real estate business.
I consider January 2020 to be the peak of my career as a sports photographer, when in one month I completed: as an accredited photographer/journalist for the ALAMY agency:
1/ In Lausanne, Switzerland - Winter Youth Olympic Games.
2/ Snow Polo World Cup in Kitzbühel.
3/ Snowboard World Cup - Slope Style in Seisser Alm, Italy.
I started working in the field of real estate photography after signing a contract with an Italian company from Milan - BOOM Image Studio SPA in 2018.
During the last years of my stay in Italy, I then worked for various Italian, German and Austrian agencies, for which I photographed luxury properties, well-being centers, hairdressers, or beauty salons.
In recent years, I have worked intensively on improving myself in the production of virtual tours, which resulted in an order from a Singaporean client to take 3D photos in four German cities and several months of work for one of the most famous 3D portals in the world.
I speak English fluently, Italian well and can communicate in German, and sure Slovak and Czech.
