About
Live full time life and never regret
My work searches out, reveals, and seeks to preserve the richness and vulnerability of modern cultural identity. I've developed a ‘live’ photographic style that explores humanity in a photo-journalistic way.
In my photographs, I create magical, phantasmic atmospheres by manipulating contrast and depth of field.
My work has been exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in the Czech Republic, Belgium, Egypt, Finland, Italy, Lithuania, Palestinian territory, Poland, Slovakia, Spain and USA. I hold a BcA and I currently study to finish my McA in photography on the Institute of Creative Photography, Silesian University in Opava, Czech Republic.
I live and work in Prague.
