Q&A
- How did you start with photo/video?
I started making skate videos when I was 16 years old. I started with a holiday old school DV camera. I kept upgrading all the way to the top and currently using the newest Canon products. During this time, I focused more on promo videos and documentaries. Since 2016, I have been cooperating with AQT.sk magazine and Canon Slovakia. That was a new beginning for me. Creating your own projects and reviews of technology. - How would you describe your style?

Horror and fantasy. - What is your dream shoot or project?
My biggest dream is to take my gear and travel in Antarctica. - What is your best advice to others that want to develop as photographers?
Take pictures, take pictures, take pictures, create, create, create … Enjoy it. Be open to criticism, but also do not take it too much to heart.
