Hi, I’m David Mackovič, a photographer based in Brno with a strong foundation in advertising photography from Tomáš Baťa University in Zlín and an international study stint at Bezalel Academy of Arts in Jerusalem. I enjoy planning and executing visual stories, from concept to final edits, with an emphasis on authentic, narrative imagery. Since 2018 I work as a freelance photographer, retoucher, and occasional photography instructor at Masaryk University. I also contribute to studios and labs, develop film, retouch product images for brands like Astratex, and assist on shoots in Brno. When I’m not shooting, I love exploring new techniques in the darkroom and continuing my education in visual storytelling.
