hobby nature photographer – introduction
Since childhood, I have been fascinated by the world of photography. I received my first camera at the age of 14 from my parents, with which I practiced the basics of photography and captured our family trips. At the age of 18, still deeply interested in photography, I bought a more advanced camera. Alongside family and travel shots, I also began experimenting with more creative compositions. Back then, I did not yet know that the world of animals would one day captivate me the most.
As a child, I was greatly fascinated by nature documentaries about wildlife on television. These experiences left a deep impression on me and gradually sparked my growing interest in nature and the living world.
In 2020, I purchased my first more serious equipment, a Nikon mirrorless camera, which opened new horizons for me. That was the beginning of my journey into nature photography. The world of birds became especially close to my heart: their movement, behavior, and incredible diversity immediately enchanted me.
Thanks to the bird hide of a nature photographer friend, I was able to get truly close to this special world, where patience, attention, and respect for nature are essential for capturing a good image.
Since then, I have seized every opportunity to capture the wonders of nature through my lens. Whenever possible, I go out to photograph at least once a week, as it is not only a form of relaxation for me but also one of my most important sources of renewal. While photographing, I feel peace, the joy of creation, and the closeness of nature all at once.
If you would like to follow more of my hobby photography, you can find me on Instagram and Facebook.
It is a great joy for me to share the beauty of nature through my pictures and to contribute to more people appreciating the wonders it holds.
