Hi, I’m Danka, a Slovak photographer based in Dublin.

My photography journey began here in Ireland, when I bought my first camera and started exploring the streets of Dublin. Street photography taught me everything – from understanding light and composition to capturing emotions in a cinematic style. It was during those early days that I discovered my passion for telling stories through images.

Back then, I knew absolutely nothing about photography or editing. I spent countless hours at my computer teaching myself Lightroom, Photoshop, and even Premiere Pro. Step by step, I learned how to edit, how to work with colours and light, and how to create that timeless, cinematic feel that I still love today.

Over the past 7 years, my passion has grown into a career that fulfils me. I photograph portraits, couples, families and brands – and I still find joy in capturing genuine moments and turning them into timeless memories. Wedding photography is a new chapter for me – I’ve captured my first wedding and I’m excited to keep growing in this field.

For me, photography isn’t just about taking pictures – it’s about connection, trust and emotion. Whether we’re shooting on the vibrant streets of Dublin, in a peaceful park, or in a cozy studio, my goal is always the same: to make you feel comfortable and confident, so together we can create something that’s truly yours – memories you’ll love for years to come.

I specialise in portrait, couple, family and fashion & beauty photography. My focus is on creating elegant, high-quality images that celebrate both beauty and individuality.

Every shoot is personal. I offer a selection of photography packages to make things simple and clear, but I know that every story is different – so I’m always happy to tailor the experience to your needs.

Whether it’s a portrait session, a family shoot, or a personal branding session, I’ll guide you through the whole process – from choosing the location and outfits to helping you feel relaxed in front of the camera. We can shoot outdoors in the city, somewhere calm in nature, or even in a studio if you want that clean, professional look.

Once we’ve discussed what you’re looking for, you can pick the package that suits you best and together we’ll create images you’ll love for years to come.
