Over the course of my photographic career, my visual interests have evolved from landscape to travel and from travel to street and creative photography. It has been a voyage of seeing, visual experimentation and self-discovery. In the last year, I noticed that this metamorphosis has accelerated and started me on a new visual journey. As [...]
This blog and my private writings here are mostly focused on seeing, composition, inspiration and ideas, which aim at crafting stronger imagery and finding the path to more meaningful and fulfilling photography. Of course, from time to time I write about gear, which plays a role in our photographic journey, whether we admit it or [...]
In the last year, I’ve worked on photography from a slightly different angle than before. Most of my life I have crafted and curated my own images. In the last two years I have had the chance to work with an incredible team at the Medium Format Magazine, which exposes me to a different way [...]
The first school of thought is strongly against it. The image should speak for itself and there is no need to add any distractions in terms of a title or brief description. It is up to the viewer to see, experience and interpret the image. Based on heated conversations online, I suspect that most photographers [...]
On my travels I usually carry two key lenses, or in other words two focal lengths: GF 45mm (35mm in ff terms) and GF 110 (85mm in ff terms).

I love being with people and interacting with them. Maybe this is something from my European upbringing, I don’t know. Strangely enough, however, I mostly work alone—I mean physically alone—as do most photographers. In the last few years I’ve been lucky to work with many people around the world but the communication was mostly online. [...]
One of the greatest surprises about photography is how it encompasses so much of our lives. From documentary to reportage, from landscape to travel or portrait and even commercial, we interact, observe and craft imagery from those amazing pieces of life that surround us. Burk Uzzle described it well when he said, “Photography is a [...]
I am so grateful to those of you who have been accompanying me throughout my photographic journey. I know it is not an easy endeavour to stick with a photographer who started with landscape, only to shoot travel, street, creative street, then travel and now… I guess this is it. In addition, many of you [...]
How is everyone? For the last few months I have been working on a sequel to my first book "Seeing Simplified - How to see and craft great imagery." In the first book I mostly focused on street and creative imagery, this time I am writing about my approach to travel photography. The new book [...]
