Martin Novak

I am commercial photographer based in Bratislava (Slovakia). I am drawn to authentic-looking and story-driven imagery and love to learn something new everyday.

People are always at the core of my photography. The beauty and diversity of people, their emotions, expressions, activities, relationships … I simply love to create photographs about all this through my seeing and vision. And the process of creating and cooperating itself is what motivates me and makes me happy.

Important part of my photography activities is also creating imagery for popular worldwide stock agencies like Getty Images, Offset, Fotolia and Shutterstock. Through these agencies, my photographs were published online or in prints in media like New York Times, Hearst, Times Inc., Guardian, Sun News, Viacom, ABC News, Axel Springer, Ringier and used in promotion by companies like Amazon, Alianz, IBM, Samsung, Henkel, Microsoft, Exxon Mobil, Pfizer, SCA Hygiene, Kauland  or by agencies like BBDO, Leo Burnett, Ogilvy, TBWA, Young & Rubicam.

And when I am not with camera or behind computer, I like spending my time in the garden among fruit trees, traveling around the world and hiking in the Slovak mountains. The greatest happiness for me are my two little kids and my amazing wife.

Recently, I started writing new blog Volny pre zivot (Free For Life) where I share my experiences with simplifying of life and designing and creating fullfiling life.
