Sports. Water. Sailing. Outdoors. Adventure. Telling stories through photography since 2007

Photography portfolio and sometimes a blog post by the sports photographer.

What do I do?

I tell stories through photography.

15 years of experience in various action sports has built a strong portfolio. I am specialized in water sports and sailing and am always curious to explore and work with any other sport.
My strong work ethics and work-hard attitude, mixed with a good sense of humor and empathy are my best references. Even for such projects as The Ocean Race.
But let my portfolio speak for itself.

Venice – the importance of being a traveler instead of a tourist

“It’s interesting that through those long years of traveling I have never visited Venice”, – I thought to myself while looking at the map. Venice was just four hours away from the place I lived now. I usually avoid very touristy places but Venice is kind of classics and early spring is not as very…

First Winter Season in the Alps

I guess it’s time. The thermometer was showing +10 for the entire last week. I have a legit google tan on my face. And the fresh snow is nowhere to be found. However, I’m not saying that it’s spring already – don’t want to jinx anything. But I think that it’s time to share what…

Are You Going Surfing Tomorrow?

It was already a sunset time. Golden Gate Bridge looked even more red than usual in the sun-colored ski. I could see all that incredible view from the window of my hostel bar. I couldn’t imagine a better choice for my travel to San Francisco. Staff and most of the travelers were friendly, others minded…

I choose not to choose

The good book says that a man is special because he has free will. To choose. I have to admit that I have always been skeptical about choosing. I still don’t understand why a person can not have/do/feel everything … Missing out I remember in my childhood I have been very sick with high fever…

Living in the Alps

Yesterday was the last day of summer here on my mountain. And though in the Zillertal valley few upcoming days might still feel warm, up the mountain I already want gloves and furs. The forecast promises a bit of snow as well. But yesterday was still warm and sunny. This is what living in the…
