What started as a pure curiosity soon became a passion. As a small kid, I hated travelling. About 3 years ago I started experimenting with the old compact camera we had at home. A lot of things and names like aperture, shutter speed etc. were unknown for me, so I spent some time searching on the internet.

Then, I got my first camera, Nikon d3300 and kit lens. I started producing my first images. As the time went by I started to travel further away from my home, and it became the important part of the shooting.

I started astrophotography before daytime photography, so it makes a big part of my portfolio. In my images I am trying to make something different instead of capturing famous places, I like to find my own. I am still finding my style, and constantly learning new things, but I thought I should try to show you my recent work.

Photos were made during our family trips with a little help of my dad who sometimes takes me nearer to the place where I want to get and they are also from a few photo trips with my friends and without. I love early waking up and hiking, normally it takes me 1-3 or more hours to get to the place. But the feeling of lying in the snow, on the top of the mountain, with a panoramic view around me in the absolute silence is just incredible and it's the reason why to continue.
