ARCTIC FACES (Captured during The Arctic Circle residency in spring 2025)
A six-part documentary series capturing the many moods and expressions of this remote and indescribably beautiful landscape. None of the photographs are staged — they are fleeting moments from an expedition, captured exactly as they appeared. I tried to portray the Arctic in its natural elusiveness, alongside the people who seamlessly blended into its organic, ever-shifting rhythm. They adapted without disturbing the fragile balance of their surroundings. Visitors, yet perfectly at home.

ALMOST THE END OF THE WORLD.
The evening fog fell, I sat with the cows in the grass and enjoyed the silence moment of the cowboy. (trail through the Czech borderlands, summer 2024)
WOWEN WORLDS IN HIGH ARCTIC
As part of my long-term project Woven Worlds, I developed an Arctic storyline during The Arctic Circle residency (Spring 2025), blending documentary photography, 3D creation, and visual storytelling. The project introduces the viewer to the fragile Arctic ecosystem through a fictional lens — featuring a staged documentary character called the Guardian, a newly imagined endemic creature inspired by real polar wildlife (3D printed directly onboard), and a visual narrative centered on Woven Worlds’ main figure: the Traveller, who explores these invented species within real landscapes. Together, they form a fusion of fact and fiction, inviting audiences to rediscover the natural world with imagination, empathy, and awe.
In my photographic work, I seek out environments and moments that feel almost otherworldly.
Through each image, I aim to draw the viewer directly into the scene — into a setting that might resemble a carefully constructed stage. And yet, most of these images were shaped by pure chance and with a touch of quiet observation. I'm drawn to reality — but captured in that one second when it transforms into something else. A fleeting cinematic moment, unfolding here and now, on planet Earth.
