He publishes in renowned magazine National Geographic (CZ), GEO (SK), Universum (AT) and in many other magazines in Slovakia and Czech Republic. He really loves recent visual art and traveling, resulting from his photographic passion, and searching suitable motives either animals which will pose in front of the photo lens “readily”.
“Unfortunately, undisturbed areas and the number of animals which would “agree” with being filmed or photographed decrease rapidly. Because of this, he pays still more attention to nature protection, so that future generations will still have the possibility to see something…”
