Hello!

I’m Betka an award-winning  Creative Director and Photographer based in London, originally from Slovakia. My work is rooted in storytelling, shaped by a background in advertising, film, and visual arts.

I studied BA Advertising and MA Film at the University of the Arts London, and explored video production and playwriting during my time in the U.S. That mix of disciplines continues to inspire the way I approach both personal and client projects.

I’m drawn to all kinds of visual storytelling - whether it’s bold and conceptual or intimate and raw. You’ll see that range reflected throughout my portfolio. I’ve been lucky to work on some great projects, but it’s the feeling of making something meaningful that keeps me hooked.

Let’s create something magical ! :)
