With nothing but my trusty Leica Q2, I ventured through the Expo, shooting candid and raw portraits with no additional lighting or equipment.

Svadba & Emócie: Zachytenie okamihov, ktoré pretrvajú navždy

Svadba je jedinečný deň, ktorý sa nedá zopakovať. Je to okamih plný lásky, radosti, dojatia a nefalšovaných emócií – momenty, ktoré si zaslúžia byť zachytené v tej najčistejšej podobe.

Ako fotograf som mal možnosť vidieť nespočetné množstvo svadobných príbehov – od intímnych obradov v prírode až po veľkolepé slávnosti na tých najkrajších miestach. Každá svadba je unikátna, no jedno majú všetky spoločné – skutočné emócie, ktoré robia tieto chvíle neopakovateľnými.

In a world where perfection is often idolized, it's crucial to remember the beauty of self-love. To truly embrace who we are, we need to accept ourselves without hesitation—without comparison, without judgment, without feeling less than.
