Meet Michaela Danihelkova

We recently connected with Michaela Danihelkova and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Michaela , we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?

Everything started from my closest people around me. I never been so confident in What I’m doing. Photography was always my passion. I never think in the past that could be something I could make money from it. It always been about to have fun and be creative . After I become full time photographer it comes from my clients. I think they are the biggest support and also the opportunities Im getting through my work. It really pushing me be better and better. I aways say to people the most important thing is believe in yourself and stay humble. :}

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

Im originally from the Czech Republic. I become full time photographer a few yers ago on beautiful island of Kauai, Hawaii. Photography it’s been my passion for long time since my dad gives me my first camera. I started to photograph for fun in California. One day people started to asking me to take a pictures for them and offering me money. So I started to feel like people really like my work. I never think it could be my full time job one day. It didn’t happen over night I have to really believe in myself and keep going. Of course I had days I didn’t wanna continue in my work but now I know it was worth it to keep going and growing. I use my degree in Social media also from fashion industry. Now Im having so many opportunities in my career. One of them is around the corner I have been inviting to New York fashion week to make another step in my career.
I will just say never give up.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

I think it was my passion, creativity and just who Im. I love people I love to learn from others. People always calling me sunshine whenever I go.

I will say to people just keep going, you will always get to the point you wanna give up. Don’t do it. Look at the mirror and tell your self. This is what I Wanna do. Never listen people Who is telling you its not possible they are not the people you wanna have around. Everything is possible if you believe in yourself.

Who has been most helpful in helping you overcome challenges or build and develop the essential skills, qualities or knowledge you needed to be successful?

I have to say It was always my ex boyfriend from the beginning. He taught me a lot of technical things and basics with a camera. He was very supportive in every situation and pushing me be better and never give up. I have to say big thank you to him because without his support I won’t be the person Im today.
