A dream came true. After being selected by Leica Camera for the Leica 100 Photographers project, I was invited to test the new Leica Q3 Monochrom before its official release. An honour of the highest kind.

Testing the Leica Q3 Monochrom felt less like trying a new camera
and more like stepping back into a familiar room inside myself.
A place where light has weight, shadows breathe,
and every tone carries intention.

Shooting a full hockey match on the Leica Q3 Monochrom sounds unusual.
No zoom, no color, no “sports body.” But the results prove otherwise.

A small spontaneous Halloween experiment to see how the Leica Q3 performs in low light, fast motion, and a dramatic atmosphere. Costumes, shadows, and slightly longer shutter speeds created a surreal, almost horror-film look.

A few minutes away, modern Europe moves at full speed. Here, survival has no finish line. These images show people who live in silence, endurance, and dignity — even when the world refuses to see them.

Faces here tell stories no one asks to hear — stories of cold nights, quiet hunger, and stubborn hope. Children grow up in a world of mud and tin, learning too early that the world outside their settlement moves forward without waiting.

This session was all about softness in motion — natural beauty captured in its purest form. No heavy styling, no artificial perfection. Just emotion, skin, light, and the delicate chaos of wind and flowers.

Photography in places like this stops being work.
It becomes witnessing.
Listening.
Breathing with the land.

Naked Truth is an ongoing portrait series exploring authenticity in a world shaped by filters and perfectionism.
The goal is simple: show people as they are — honest, soft, real.
No retouching. No artificial beauty. Just truth.

This year, my black and white portrait “Freckles Beauty” was awarded Silver in the Portrait category at the prestigious Exposure One Awards 2025 in New York. The contest gathered thousands of submissions from photographers across 64 countries, making the recognition even more meaningful.

There are weddings that feel like fairy tales, and then there are weddings that go beyond — where elegance, emotion, and culture meet in a timeless celebration. Catalina and Andrej’s international wedding at the enchanting Château Béla in Slovakia was exactly that: a day filled with poetry, color, music, and love.

Being selected among the 100 Photographers in the 100 Years of Leica project is one of the greatest milestones of my career. To be chosen by a company like Leica — a brand that has defined the very essence of photography for over a century — is not only an honor, but also a deeply humbling recognition of my work.

Photography has always been about more than capturing faces — it is about capturing essence. My Sensual Beauty Project was born from a deep fascination with the elegance of the human body, the poetry of curves, and the timeless dance between light and shadow.

Lexus has always stood for elegance, innovation, and precision. Every curve of the car reflects a harmony between performance and beauty, much like photography itself — where technical mastery meets emotion. Capturing this vehicle on the open road, framed by mountains and sunset, was more than just a commercial shoot; it was an artistic experience.
