A photography journey with me is more than a workshop in an interesting location. It is work with a photographer who has spent years combining field experience, a conscious approach to image-making, and practical travel expertise. I have devoted my life to photography, and my way of seeing was also shaped during my studies at the School of Art + Design at Louisiana State University, under instructors such as Thomas Neff, A.J. Meek, and Michael Book. It was there that intuitive photography began to evolve into more deliberate work with light, composition, and visual storytelling.
For years, I have organized photography workshops and expeditions to exceptional places around the world. During my photography journeys, I have worked in the United States, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and many countries across Europe, among others. Thanks to this, during workshops I can help not only with camera settings, but also with planning a shooting day, choosing locations, assessing light, responding to weather, and creating images that truly reflect the character of a place.
My photographs have been published in Digital Camera World, Creative Light, and Digital Camera, and have also been featured on photography platforms such as Shutterbug, Dodho Magazine, BudgetTravel.com, and 121.Clicks. Since 2018, I have been actively involved in the GuruShots community, which has led to numerous exhibitions in many places around the world, including Venice, Berlin, Amsterdam, Budapest, and Barcelona, and in 2019 to achieving Guru status.
The workshops are designed for people who want to photograph more consciously: to better understand light, compose stronger images, prepare for field work, and return from a journey with photographs that are not just a random record of a place, but a personal story. I combine photographic, travel, and organizational experience so that participants can focus on what matters most: seeing, creating, and developing their own photographic language.

Highlands of Iceland 2023 – Photography Workshop – raport
Iceland has been kind to us once again. It is true that the volcano did not erupt this time (the update from the end of July – it was just late), but the weather was favorable for most of the trip, thanks to which the plan was mostly implemented, and where something fell out, something else jumped in place of things that could not be seen. This time, we finally managed to reach the wild heart of the island, crossing countless streams and several larger rivers along the way.
