Wildlife / Animals nominee

This photograph which captures two horses closely together, is a creative expression of a trust, a play of light and shadow, expressing multiple emotions and interpretations. It evokes in me what the trust represents, the primary emotion in an empathetic meeting, relationship.

My path to nature photography was conditioned by the great relationship with nature, that I felt since childhood. Later, during university study at The Faculty of Horticulture and Landscape Engineering in Nitra, I knew I was looking into my future. My sister and I founded Floral.sk, we are dedicated to growing flowers and plants organically, together with the atelier (shop in the Nitra city centre) we create a sustainable concept where healthy nature comes first. Part of the work is also photography, where we try to document our work from the planted seed to satisfied customers who like our ecological path. We participate in workshops in collaboration with the SPU University and we enjoy all the projects with surrounding institutions, happy to pass our enthusiasm.
I mainly focus on nature photography and I try to bring the beauty of it to people. Depicting natural wealth is a true fulfillment for me. I am deeply convinced that as a lover of nature I bear co-responsibility for its vulnerable form, I realize how important is it is to perceive current issues of climate change, loss of biodiversity, disappearing ecosystems with the higher possible respect. I try to depict its majesty.
