Hi! My name is Oliver and I am a full-time freelance photographer from Czech republic. (www.benesoliver.cz) My motivation is to be more self-sufficient in the modern world. As I grow older I am realizing that practical/hand skills are very important, from cooking a meal or changing a bulb to farming and communicating in other languages. I am very passionate about learning new things, and even though I might not be the brightest one in the beggining, I’ll do the best I can.
Also, this year I almost burned out due to my perfectionism. Throughout the months, I realized that I need to take a brake from the stress in wedding industry and find again what motivated me to start photographing. If it would be possible, I’d love to take a camera with me and capture our experience, and maybe also create something useful for You. :)
Outside of photography, I love to spend time in nature, cook healthy and workout.Centres d’intérêt

Working as a photography freelancer since 2019, focusing mostly on weddings, couples and documentary. Photographers job is mostly about working and communicating with people - finding common ground, organizing the program and all the guests, getting them to feel relaxed (and persuading that one grandpa in the back that she also needs to be in at least one photo too! 😃) and create an incredible experience for them, as it is as important as great photo outcome, at least that’s what I believe in.
So far the business has been very successful with 62 5* google reviews so far.
I Never did any other job outside of photography, so now I'm eager to get my hands dirty and learn some new skills :)Âge

My Travel experience
Before photographing people I travelled through several European countries for many times because of landscape photography, although almost never alone, but with friends or even with family when I was much younger.
We travelled mostly to Austria mountains, but I also visited Italy, Slovakia, Germany and Canary islands because of the wonderful night sky.
Thanks to my landscape and nightscape photography trips I learned to be patient with the process, even though sometimes I felt on the edge of my possibilites, especially during higher hikes with heavy equipment on the back.
On other hand, sometimes the toughest trips were in my country - Czech republic. We have many different beautiful mountains and nature parks such as Giant mountains or Czech Meadow, which are espcially beautiful during the winter time 😊Informations complémentaires

1. Stay for longer - no matter how long you’ll be there, it’ll be too short for sure. A whole week will feel like a day. So I recommend staying there for as long as possible.
