Hello!

MY NAME IS MICHAELA

Michaela Ďurišová is an internationally recognized fine art photographer from Slovakia, whose unique work captures magic, beauty, and a fairytale world. Her photography journey began with capturing the products of her own brand, Magaela, which specializes in floral handmade products. The breakthrough came when she photographed her mother with long white hair, and these photos went viral around the world. Since then, Michaela has dedicated herself to professional photography, with her works being featured in prestigious magazines and galleries worldwide.

Michaela takes pride in her personal projects – one of them was photographing her parents on the occasion of their 50th wedding anniversary at Lomnický štít. These photos, which beautifully captured the love and beauty of this exceptional moment, were noticed by National Geographic, which named them "Photos of the Week."

In 2023, Michaela was named the absolute winner of the One Eyeland World's TOP Portrait Photographer 2023 award, while her collection includes hundreds of other international accolades. Thanks to her victory in the competition by the Australian magazine Beautiful and Bizarre, she exhibited her fine art photography as a print in New York. Her work was also part of the prestigious Imagination Paris exhibition in Paris. Additionally, she is proud that her photography graced the autumn cover of the international magazine Enchanted Living.

Michaela draws inspiration from beauty itself, combining a fairytale style with dramatic Renaissance lighting. She specializes in custom fine art photo sessions for clients from all over the world, while also focusing on her own projects and limited fine art prints. The uniqueness of her work also lies in the fact that every scene in her photographs – from backdrops to floral arrangements, oversized flowers, mushrooms, animals, and magnificent wings – is created in collaboration with her talented team. This team helps turn every creative idea into reality, with everything in her images being real and crafted without the use of artificial intelligence.

Michaela is proud to have collaborated with the unique dress brand Chotronette, whose gowns have frequently appeared on the red carpet. Her goal is to provide clients with a unique experience that combines beauty, magic, and a fairytale-like atmosphere.

Her studio in Bratislava is truly a magical place, furnished with thousands of costumes of various sizes and styles. Every photo session becomes an unforgettable artistic experience tailored to each client. Among her notable collaborations is one with Italian cellist Maddalena Del Gobbo, for whom she created the album cover inspired by Alice in Wonderland. Michaela has also worked with well-known personalities such as Mária Čírová, Dominika Mirgová, Eva Cifrová, Kristína Mečko, Simoneta Hladká, and Miriam Kalisová.

Michaela Ďurišová is a globally active and acclaimed artist whose photographs celebrate beauty, fantasy, and uniqueness. Her work inspires people worldwide, and she believes that every photograph has a story worth uncovering. 📸✨
