My creative journey began as a happy accident. I graduated from college with a degree in law & psychology while traveling Europe practicing martial arts.

During this wonderful life period, I made most of my income by cleaning the gym mats and creating training videos for our gym’s social media.

When the global covid pandemic happened in 2020, most of my income streams were shut down by the government and I started watching YouTube videos on photography and cinematography. I fell in love with the art, started creating every day and did everything in my power to become a fulltime photographer & videographer.

I’ve worked relentlessly to express myself and after countless hours of hard work my dreams came true. Since starting this exciting journey, I have worked with many czech and international clients of all shapes and sizes from local businesses to big brands.

It took a global pandemic for me to discover my true calling, my desire to express my creativity. To discover that I am an artist. To realize who I really am - a CREATIVE OVERTHINKER.

My name is Mikolas Bilek and I am a CREATIVE OVERTHINKER

I originally started creating content for a small local Czech brand called CHOKETOPUS in 2019. I was in charge of the whole content marketing agenda and I've learned an incredible amount of new skills by creating for a brand I was passionate about.

The next big thing for me was when I started working as an assistant to Petr Konopásek (co-founder of the MOCUP.SPACE brand) in 2021. That’s where I learned the greatest deal about light and product photography.

In 2022, I co-founded the brand Studio ZERO Limits with Petr Konopásek [mentioned above]. We were able to move more into video content creation, started a podcast Nuly Sobě and overall reached a whole new audience while serving various clients in the commercial field.

Since 2023 I am operating as an assistant to Kateřina Janišová, one of the leading czech nude art and portrait photographers.

I am also working as an external creator and strategist for Etnetera Motion - a creative communication agency. This journey has started in 2023 and I really benefit from my past content creation and marketing experience to help bring unconventional ideas to life for agency’s clients.
