* 1962, Czech Republic<\/p>\n

I took my first photographic steps in a darkroom with my father, when I was 15 years old. The smell of the photographic developer and the birth of an image in the red darkness charmed me. Starting with 35 mm film I also tried medium and large format negatives later.<\/p>\n

The breakthrough came at the beginning of 2002 when I won a prize in the national competition and switched to digital photography. Gradually, I was returning to the use of the photographic film in 2009 as I started capturing a part of my landscape photography with a medium-format camera. This period took 2 years and then I moved back to the digital. At the beginning of 2018 photographic film and analogue created a part of my work again.<\/p>\n

Currently, I have been intensively dealing with the possibilities of using panoramic images as a means of expression. I chose Noblex panoramic cameras with rotating lenses. I also continue the Fine Art Photography projects simultaneously.<\/p>\n

Once I wrote about myself:<\/p>\n

\n

The world around is a great challenge for me. Lines and shapes, light and shadow. And colours with all their shades. And also mutual relations between people and things surrounding us in everyday life. All this makes me bring my eye to the camera\u2019s viewfinder and try to capture the beauty all around. When I am not photographing for some time, my right index finger starts being restless. Then I cannot stand it anymore and I need to go out again and press the shutter button at least a few times.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n

Sv\u00e9 prvn\u00ed fotografick\u00e9 kr\u016f\u010dky jsem absolvoval se sv\u00fdm otcem. V\u016fn\u011b v\u00fdvojky a zrozen\u00ed obr\u00e1zku v\u202f \u010derven\u00e9m p\u0159\u00edtm\u00ed temn\u00e9 komory mn\u011b u\u010darovaly. Za\u010d\u00ednal jsem s kinofilmem, ale pozd\u011bji jsem fotografoval tak\u00e9 na st\u0159edn\u00ed a velk\u00fd form\u00e1t negativ\u016f.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Z\u00e1sadn\u00ed zlom p\u0159i\u0161el v roce 2002, kdy jsem d\u00edky v\u00fdh\u0159e v celost\u00e1tn\u00ed sout\u011b\u017ei ze dne na den p\u0159e\u0161el na digit\u00e1l. Dlouh\u00e9 roky se digit\u00e1ln\u00ed zobrazov\u00e1n\u00ed stalo m\u00fdm jedin\u00fdm v\u00fdrazov\u00fdm prost\u0159edkem. Pozvoln\u00fd n\u00e1vrat k\u202ffilmu se odehr\u00e1l a\u017e po del\u0161\u00ed dob\u011b v \u202froce 2009, kdy jsem za\u010dal \u010d\u00e1st sv\u00e9 krajin\u00e1\u0159sk\u00e9 tvorby realizovat st\u0159edoform\u00e1tovou analogovou kamerou. Po t\u00e9to krat\u0161\u00ed dvoulet\u00e9 epizod\u011b jsem op\u011bt fotografoval pouze digit\u00e1ln\u011b, abych se za\u010d\u00e1tkem roku 2018 znovu postupn\u011b za\u010dal vracet v \u202f\u010d\u00e1sti sv\u00e9 tvorby k filmu a analogu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aktu\u00e1ln\u011b se intenz\u00edvn\u011b zab\u00fdv\u00e1m mo\u017enostmi panoramatick\u00e9 fotografie. Pro svou pr\u00e1ci jsem zvolil fotoapar\u00e1ty Noblex s rotuj\u00edc\u00edmi objektivy. Soub\u011b\u017en\u011b pokra\u010duji v dal\u0161\u00edch projektech Fine Art Photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jednou jsem s\u00e1m o sob\u011b napsal:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okoln\u00ed sv\u011bt je pro m\u011b velk\u00e1 v\u00fdzva. Linie a tvary, sv\u011btlo a st\u00edn. A barvy se v\u0161emi jejich odst\u00edny. A tak\u00e9 vz\u00e1jemn\u00e9 vztahy mezi lidmi a v\u011bcmi, kter\u00e9 n\u00e1s obklopuj\u00ed p\u0159i ka\u017edodenn\u00edm \u017eivot\u011b. Tohle v\u0161echno m\u011b nut\u00ed p\u0159ilo\u017eit oko k hled\u00e1\u010dku kamery a pokusit se zachytit tu n\u00e1dheru v\u0161ude kolem. Kdy\u017e n\u011bjak\u00fd \u010das nefotografuji, za\u010dne m\u011b svrb\u011bt ukazov\u00e1\u010dek prav\u00e9 ruky. Potom se mnou nen\u00ed k vydr\u017een\u00ed a j\u00e1 zase mus\u00edm vyrazit ven a alespo\u0148 p\u00e1rkr\u00e1t stisknout spou\u0161\u0165.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
