STORY
MY STORY
My name is Dušan Holovej and I am a professional product and advertising photographer and retoucher. I am a member of the Association of Professional Photographers of the Slovak Republic as well as a member of the Federation of Professional European Photographers. My work, creative approach as well as photo production were awarded the highest European title Master QEP - Master Qualified European Photographer.
My story as a product photographer began when I was working as a graphic designer and photography was just a hobby for me. I always liked those glossy product visuals in magazines and wanted to know how to create such photos for my clients and not just rely on stock photos. This motivated me to learn new techniques and make my first attempts at product photography at home in my living room :-) I've come a long way since then. From an amateur, self-taught photographer, I became a professional and won several world awards with my product photos.
