Hello world!

I am a bird, wildlife, and landscape photographer. I shoot with a Nikon - and yes, I am one of those people who will never switch brands and does not want to hear your opinion about it.

I spend my mornings in forests and fields, waiting for birds to do something interesting. They usually do not. But when they do, I take the photo, go home, and spend the next three hours editing it in Adobe Photoshop, Topaz Photo AI, Luminar Neo, and the Nik Collection until it looks the way I imagined it in the first place.

I share everything I learn — the techniques, the gear, the mistakes, and the birds who genuinely ruined my morning — right here at The Shutter Pro (theshutterpro.com).

I also run Qonnect Studio (qonnectstudio.com), a web and digital agency that helps photographers and small businesses get a proper website, good SEO, and real digital marketing. Both jobs need patience. At least the clients eventually reply to my messages. The birds never do.
