Erik Tomasak's journey began in 1991 near a small town in the middle of Europe (Slovakia) and has spanned nearly two decades. Initially, an extreme sports photographer, Tomasak's career has evolved through documentary, architectural, product, and high-end advertising photography. His primary fascination, however, has always been portraiture and capturing the essence of human beings.
In his career, Tomasak has also become a respected lecturer at prestigious universities and an ambassador for global photo brands. He has introduced "Portrait 2.0 (Quantum Portrait)," a new dimension of portraiture that marries art and science. This innovative approach captures authentic facial expressions and emotions, providing a fresh perspective in the realm of photography.
Erik has been honoured with multiple prestigious awards, celebrating his extraordinary contributions to the field of photography. Known for his unique vision and ability to capture profound emotional depth in his work, Tomasak's recent accolades highlight his outstanding talent and dedication.
