Ibiza
Visiting places like these comes with a certain set of expectations, clichés, imposed assumptions, things you expect to see, feel, experience. And it’s all true when visiting Ibiza. But then again, at the same time, it isn’t… Why is this place so different to what you hear, and why is…

From Nikon to Fuji (from gear collector to photographer)
When I was 21, I bought myself a Nikon D5100, with 18-55mm kit lens and fulfilled my childish dream of having a “proper” camera for capturing what I see. As the time progressed I sold the kit lens and slowly added Nikon 35 mm F1.8, Samyang 8mm F3.5, Nikon 55-200mm…

First Snow in Prague – POV Photography Video
I started the walk just after the sunrise. It had been snowing during the night, and it had stopped right before I started. Snow in the center of Prague is quite rare last years. That means it doesn’t stay for very long. So I was pretty excited about that. I started with photography using a real camera only two years ago, and I hadn’t had the photos of Prague under…
