Meet The Heroes photo stream

 
 
 

Meet the Heroes is a series of interviews by heroes.sk, an independent Slovak online magazine that since 2016 has been talking to people who move the country forward, in business, culture, sport and the non-profit world. I was its lead photographer and one of the few people in the crew who actually met the guests in person. Talking to experts from so many different fields has always fascinated me, and every portrait here has a conversation behind it. These are a few photos from those shoots. Many of my portraits are also in our book Meet the Heroes, which you can buy at Martinus.
