For Photographers

Hello and welcome to my collection of knowledge and resources I have acquired over years. This section “For Photographers” is made anyone who is interested to learn and do photography intentionally, with a clear idea of how to create art with the camera you have in your hands.

Here I share what helps me stay sharp: location notes, photo essays, tech stuff, simple creative exercises, and honest gear impressions. I also run workshops in Vienna from time to time, and I love building small communities around shared practice.

Everything here is written by me, in between shoots or walks or moves from country to country which I did a lot. No marketing, just things that might help you to express yourself super creatively through the medium of photography.

Photowalks

I host small group walks and exercises focused on training the creative eye. Whenever you find yourself in Vienna, you can join my walks that happen almost every weekend. Each time we have a certain topic, a restriction on what to photograph, to spark creativity and discussion. We explore various compositional rules, use different light, and try out different quirky techniques like double exposure, colours shift and others.

Hey, I’m Fedor

I’ve been doing photography since I’m 15 and this is like a lifelong journey for me. Currently being in an exploration of different mediums and how they can affect ones style. I try to not just do pretty pictures but input character and feelings in there, working on an edge of applied photography and fine arts. Excited to see where can it bring me and happy to share my experience and always exchange with others. If you feel the same – let’s connect!
