About me
My name is Lukas. I work as an IT admin, managing a VMware cluster with hundreds of Linux and Windows servers. My days revolve around infrastructure, automation, and solving problems that are often invisible to the outside world.
But alongside this highly technical work, I’ve always felt the need to create something — something slower, quieter, more human. Photography has been that outlet for me.
For several years, I worked professionally as a portrait photographer. I photographed individuals, couples, families — trying to capture something honest in the blur of expectations and perfect smiles. But over time, I grew tired of working with people in that way. The rhythm of commissioned work, the pressure to deliver polished results — it slowly drained the joy out of photography for me. So I stopped.
Now, photography is again a personal practice. I’ve changed everything — the way I shoot, the way I think about images, the way I share. I no longer edit. I don’t retouch. I shoot JPEGs straight out of camera. I look for quiet light, ordinary beauty, imperfect stillness.
My main tool these days is the Ricoh GR IIIx — a small, discreet camera that fits in my pocket and lets me photograph without effort or intrusion. I also own a Sony A7 III and a handful of lenses, but I use it less and less.
I’ve also found my way back to 35mm film, not for nostalgia, but for the discipline and slowness it brings. The waiting, the limitations — they help me see more clearly.
I have a wife and daughter, who often find themselves in my photographs. They are my grounding point, my daily poetry.
I’m drawn to visual simplicity and clean aesthetics — images that breathe. This website is not a portfolio or a business. It’s simply a quiet place to share what I see and how I feel.
Thanks for being here
