I’m a visual storyteller, content creator, and photographer creating authentic photo and video content for brands, organizations, and people.
For more than 10 years, I’ve been helping tell stories through photography, film, and social media—from live events and international productions to commercial campaigns and weddings in 10 countries.
Between 2022 and 2024, I lived in Israel, where I worked as a Social Media Content Creator and Photographer for the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem. Working in a fast-paced international environment strengthened my ability to create content under pressure, adapt quickly, and communicate across cultures.
I enjoy projects where every day looks different. Whether I’m producing a social media campaign, documenting an event, or filming behind the scenes, my goal is always the same: to create authentic visual stories that people remember.

48 HOUR FILM PROJECT
International contest, where you have to create short movie in 48 hours. Contest runs in some cities and from each city is chosen one winner, who attends at movie festival in Cannes.
Our first attempt was in 2015, in Bratislava and we won 4 prices with our short movie – White Line. After this experience we created DSfx team – team, where we were working together on some small commercials and promo videos for several companies.
Next year we decided to attempt 48HFP again. With our short movie we won 3 prices.
Our third attempt we missed the deadline.
In 2018 I singed up with another team – AND NOW DEEPER and we signed up for another city – Prague.
