Liptov region lies below and to the west of the High Tatras and forms a spectacular collage of rounded hills, river canyons, plateaus and steep pastures.
The nature and inhabitants of Liptov were the subject matter for Martin Martinček, a very respected and versatile photographer. He spent considerable time talking to the people he wanted to photograph, earning their trust and getting to know their life stories.
Martinček searched for beauty in the people's faces, habitats, landscape structures and small random details of the natural order. His emotional panoramas of Liptov betray the deep affection for the land and its inhabitants.
