I'm a Slovak-born, California-based photographer with a background in drawing that deeply informs how I approach light, shadow, and composition. I fell in love with photography after moving to NYC over a decade ago, and I've been creating visual content ever since.

I entered the media world helping build the stock video marketplace Pond5, which gave me a strong foundation in both creative production and the business of licensing. Today, I shoot photos and video for brands, influencers, and small businesses—offering everything from lighting consultations and editing to content strategy and website design.

My work has been published in National Geographic, The New York Times, The Economist and many others, and is licensed globally via Getty Images, Shutterstock, and Pond5 by clients including Google Play, NBCUniversal, and Microsoft. These days, I’ve traded NYC street scenes for California surf, but my focus on storytelling through portraits and lifestyle photography remains the same.
