Ester Dobiášová

I admire documentary photographers, as well as photographers of other genres. My goal is to create photographic series that are connected by an overarching conscious thought, but also leave space for imagination, a story. I also do journalistic and travel photography and for three consecutive years, have led photography courses for teenagers. You can take a look at my work on my website.
