About me

Horses have been a constant thread throughout my life. Through many years of close collaboration, I have not only come to understand their strength and movement, but above all their character.

After a long career in the corporate world, I consciously chose to transition into the world of fine art photography, where I can fully express my creativity and eye for detail. As a self-taught fine art photographer, I have developed a specialization in horse photography — a natural path where my love for horses and my passion for visual storytelling come together.
For many years, I competed with my horse at a high level in international competitions. Today, I look at horses through a different lens — quite literally, through the lens of my camera. Guided by a deep understanding and genuine connection, I create intimate portraits that reveal the true spirit of the horse. In motion, I capture those fleeting, almost magical moments — powerful, surreal, sometimes dreamlike, but always honest.
I avoid ordinary or obvious imagery. Instead, I search for the image that first takes shape in my mind — something that goes beyond what is visible at first glance. By sometimes removing unnecessary details, only what truly matters remains: the essence of the horse, presented with an artistic touch.

My work has been exhibited at several international exhibitions and art fairs. In 2024 and 2025, I received an international photography award, and over the past years my photographs have been nominated in various international photography competitions. My work has also been published in several magazines.
