History

Established in 2012.

All my teachers told me to focus on one type of photography. But it’s difficult to choose.

My pictures are my passion. I love to immerse myself into every project. I love people. I love to capture their emotions — happiness, sadness, the story of their life. I love to capture the play of light and shadows. I love the effect of graphic design, lines and shapes, the negative spaces and their influence on composition and mood in the photography.

I shoot with Canon 5D Mark III.

Michaela K.

Business Owner

The passion for photography goes back to my childhood. My father, a hobby photographer, allowed me to use his camera and taught me to develop pictures in the darkroom. I purchased my first camera with my own savings when I was 8 years old and started to develop my photographs by myself.

For political reasons (I grew up in a communist country) I was not able to study Photography. With other commitments to the life, my hobby was pushed to the side. I left my homeland and traveled and studied at the University of Stuttgart in Germany. Still, with a small camera in my pocket. I graduated in History of Art and Italianistik. I used my language skills (Czech, German, Italian, Russian, Portuguese and English) and work as interpreter for international companies doing business in Germany.

After 15 years in Germany I moved to the USA, got my first DSLR camera and renewed my passion for photography. For two years I took Art Photography classes with Jack Wild.
