Roman Solar

I am fine-art travel photographer with passion about capturing beauty of our world. Born and raised in Kosice. I am a self taught artist, using various techniques. I am happily married since 2008. My little daughter and my wife are my biggest fans. They are both wonderful and loving. Thanks for their continuous support my photography is alive.

 I’ve been taking photographs since 2009. Beside pure landscape shots, i do love taking bokeh photography and also experimenting, resulting in surreal photographs. I called them “enchanted”. The Enchanted World project is a collection of photographs capturing real or imaginary places in unique, artistic, dreamy feel. I do post processing to add my inner feelings and thoughts, signaturing my work. 

Photography made me painter, story teller, wanderer, made me see beautiful things i never did before. Photography reflects my soul through my creation, its never ending journey for me. A quest for images that narrate a story. A story that can only live in the imagination of the viewer.
