Why I became a videomaker 

and what I love most about it

I was sitting in a cinema when it happened. It was a film that affected me so deeply that halfway through the screening, I knew — I wanted to make films.

Until that moment, I had been studying tourism management, writing research papers, and working part-time as a waitress. But in that instant, everything became clear.

I wasn’t prepared. I didn’t have a camera, film education, contacts, or any real idea of what working in film involved. Still, I signed up for a filmmaking course at Aerofilms, bought my first DSLR (Canon 77D), and started learning as I went — camera work, editing, sound.

I remember holding a camera for the first time and feeling like a complete beginner. But I enjoyed it more than anything I had done before.

First paid projects

Soon, a job opportunity for the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival & my first paid video projects came along. Over time I realized that documentary work suited me the most. This naturally led me to filming live events — conferences, cultural events, and more.

It makes sense to me to capture real moments, places, and stories — things that hold value not only today, but also in the future.

How I approach filming

I approach every project personally. Before filming, I need to understand what the event means to the client and what it should communicate to the audience. Good preparation is half the success — something I’ve learned through experience.

My dream is to one day create a feature-length documentary.
For now, I focus on filming events — and I give it my full commitment.

If you’re looking for a videographer who comes prepared and delivers content you’ll be able to use long after your event, feel free to get in touch.
