bp (before photography)
I earned my master's degree in computer science with a concentration on mathematics and computer security in Prague. Subsequently, I obtained an International Diploma in Consultancy and a Certificate in Business Analysis Practice from the British Computer Society in London. However, I found photography to be more fulfilling for me. I work in a more relaxed environment which still provides me with many fascinating technical and creative challenges. I approach each photoshoot with the same responsibility and importance as I approached jobs related to the digital safety of international banks.
I've dedicated hundreds of hours to education in photography, completing numerous courses and reading various books. I've invested thousands of Euros in this pursuit and continue to expand my knowledge practically every day. Here is a compilation of the most significant resources.
