No, I’m a self-taught photographer.
What is your favorite subject of photographs?
I am focused mainly on mountains. However I am afraid of heights, and I am not a proper alpinist.
What kind of weather do you like the most?
For me almost every kind of weather is good to take pictures. However, I find photographing in full sunshine or during heavy rain less enjoyable. I like watching and photographing clouds.
Do you like travelling?
I love travelling. I set off on 2-3 photo journeys per year.
Do you use any additional accessories like tripods or filters?
I use Neutral Density graduated filters in order to reduce exposure of sky. I am minimalist. I don’t like taking too much equipment with me, so I don’t use tripod very often, and sometimes I regret it.
What is your post-production process like?
I use LIghtroom for the whole process of post-production except last stage – sharpening for web, which I make in Photoshop. In Lightroom I adjust white balance, curves, and saturation. Sometimes, especially in monochromatic photographs I use split toning.
Do you need assistant?
No, I’m not searching for an assistant.
