I am Peter Fabo, a photographer. Fabo is said to originally be a name from Sicily, but I am a Slovak from the countryside. I seek my roots in the images at the street corner, in the micro-still lifes of Macro, or at the light edge of the forest. Art is what I was born for, commercial work is what I live by. I know that a photo can change reality, but I like the world as it is. Therefore, I do not lie with my photos and I enjoy conveying real beauty. I am a poetic pedant and also an educator: working with students at UMPRUM keeps me at the necessary level of rebellion that one could easily lose in the midst of the instant reality of a big city. I am not arrogant, but a camera is just a machine: if you don’t believe in yourself, it won’t produce the best results. Dialogue is not an excuse for me to make concessions. I communicate well; a photographer should be a creative person with humility. I stick to the agreed price and deadlines. I have three children, and thanks to the twins, I know that great content cannot be duplicated.
