The first snow falls, weaving an illusion of stillness and peace, as the sports season fades into memory. Tall trees encircling the stadium stand like silent sentinels, guarding the hush that settles within its confines. The pristine snow contrasts softly with the faded lines of the running track, while the empty stands echo a forgotten cheer. The towering floodlights, the track's curve, the silent football goals, and the protective netting all seem to whisper forgotten tales, wrapped in the quiet embrace of the winter fog.

Photography is one of biggest passions of my life. The photographic process allows me to use my imagination and transform my feelings, moods and ideas into something palpable. With my work, I try to reveal the mystical world of nature, often invisible to the naked human eye. Photography to me is not only hundreds of hours spent in nature looking for attractive, eye-catching imagery, illuminated by the perfect light. It’s also the fascinating process of photo post-production and printing, completed with meticulousness and joy.
