When I Stopped Using Photoshop Manipulation, I Found The Beauty Of Fine Art Photography
My name is Michal Zahornacky and I am a fine art photographer from Slovakia. I bought my first camera in 2011. I am self-taught.
My biggest passion is to create Fine Art and conceptual photography. By viewing these photographs you find yourself thinking about the realness of the photography and about the post process.
In my last projects, I found the beauty and passion of creating photography using no photoshop manipulation. I enjoy preparing real-time scenes. For me, the challenge to create pure Fine Art Photography picture - to be able to show and express my ideas this way - is the biggest accomplishment I have achieved.
The challenge of thinking and creating scenes is very big, difficult, but beautiful the same way. To me, the value of the photograph and my work is then much higher. The preparation phase is long as the objects in my photographs are real and made just to take the picture.
In my collection, you can find minimalistic pictures of people, nature, and moody weather.

Based on the range of tones in these photos, unless they were shot on film and adjusted while printing, I find it very hard to believe they were not processed through image editing software to adjust the color and value range. Unedited photos straight out of a camera simply do not come out like that. I understand if you mean no photoshop to alter the composition or subjects, but the claim of "no photoshop" seems inaccurate in that case.
Thank you for your opinion Irena. Minimal adjustments to color of course was done - the same adjustments you can do with analog photography. However, the photos were not photoshop manipulated. The scenes are real.

Beautiful photos, each one. I had the same thought as Irena, so it might help to add a note about your distinction between Photoshop manipulation and color/contrast processing in the text of the article.
