Nature nominee

A universe of its own right under our feet, if we dare to step on the ice. We can always fly above it and watch the galaxies emerge where we wouldn’t expect them. Sometimes the most epic discoveries are just about looking at the most familiar things from a different angle, and I find this immensely exciting throughout my photography work. And yes, you can also say this is just melting ice close to the bank of a pond.

I use drone photography to reveal the unfamiliar within the familiar, questioning common meanings and interpretations. I choose the aerial perspective to show that exotic worlds exist right under our feet; we just need to give ourselves permission - more important than the drone itself - to look at our surroundings differently. My work is about finding the hidden beauty and rhythms around us, inviting people to see the world in a richer, unknown depth. My photos are merely the start of the journey; the viewer's own visual expedition follows.

I’m a 2022 Minimalist Aerial Photographer of the Year and recipient of 1st place awards from ND, IPA, the Royal Geographical Society and Czech Nature Photo. I was featured in National Geographic (2024) and exhibited internationally, including solo shows in Athens and the Czech Republic.
