I wanted to be a journalist but was never accepted to study journalism at a university. Instead, I studied tourism and economy and made money by writing for various magazines while traveling. It
wasn´t very good writing but it paid. Later I realized that although I enjoyed traveling I hated studying and doing economics. I finished my studies and went off to Denmark to learn photography. Here I learned how to shoot and develop black and white film. For the next couple of years, I worked at receptions in hostels cleaning floors and toilets during night shifts and taking pictures during the day.

In 2012 I started studying photography at University in Ostrava and in 2018 I got my master's degree in advertising photography in Zlín. All the while I got paid for writing but I also worked for a photography studio (mostly sending emails) and as a VFX artist in Prague. The hardest and most challenging thing I ever did was my PhD between 2020 and 2024 (still not finished as of this writing). I have been teaching photography in Prague since 2022. During my internship in Paris, I wrote a book of letters for my wife. Now I wish someone would pay me for reading.
