bp (before photography)

I have a master’s degree in computer science, specializing in mathematics and computer security, earned in Prague. Later, I completed an International Diploma in Consultancy and a Certificate in Business Analysis Practice from the British Computer Society in London. But photography turned out to be the real challenge I wanted—one that’s both technical and creative. It lets me work in a way that feels natural while still demanding precision and problem-solving. I approach every photoshoot with the same level of responsibility and attention to detail as I did when working on the digital security of international banks.

I’ve spent hundreds of hours learning photography—taking courses, reading, and refining my skills. I’ve invested thousands of Euros in education and equipment and continue to push my knowledge every day. Here are some of the key resources that have shaped my work.
