A few words about me Nice to meet you
My name is Martin Kučera and I am a non-professional photographer.
May be, you will like my photos and I hope that they will make you happy and make you feel good.
Photography has been a part of my life since I was a child, as my father was a fan of photography, we also had a darkroom at home. So at first I unconsciously perceived all the things around photography and later I started to try it all in practice. My first photos were black and white, which I also developed myself, from a negative to a positive process. I was fascinated by the development of films, the transfer of images to photo paper, the need to follow precise procedures, different types of photo papers, films and how much impact the processing process has on the result. For some time I also devoted myself to the color positive process. I don’t avoid any genre but my favorite genre is landscape photography. Landscape photography and nature is what I photograph the most and I like it most.
Photography is my passion and part of my life, even though I don’t do it professionally or commercially. I am constantly trying to improve and understand the world of photography even better. I am a member of the Helios photo club. I am also a member of the Association of Slovak Photographers.
I have been awarded the artistic title of “Artist FIAP” (AFIAP) by THE INTERNATIONAL FEDERATION OF PHOTOGRAPHIC ART.
