"I
was born 31 years ago in Prague, Czech Republic. I have been living and
working in Bali, Indonesia for last 11 years. I focus on fashion and
wedding photography while doing art and personal projects on the
side."
"I
shoot with Nikon cameras since I started. Honestly I am not much of a
'tech geek' regarding equipment. Camera is basically just a tool for
me, and I like Nikon’s toughness and durability in rough outdoor
conditions."
"I
started as a travel and landscape photographer about 12 years ago. When
I began I was contributing to magazines with travel and documentary
stories, about 5 years ago I started to focus more on fashion and
commercial photography. I
love photography. It’s my biggest passion. I like art in general
and used to paint before as well. I love visuals and enjoy the whole
creative process involved in photography. Preparing concepts, going
to places, exploring locations, choosing models, make up and styling…
or being in a studio and experimenting with light. I cover quite broad
range of photography genres. I enjoy how different subjects require different approaches,
preparations and skills. I have always liked learning new things and
experimenting."
"Art
nude in nature is probably my most favorite subject to photograph.
The goal is to capture female body form at interesting outdoor
locations. Women and nature are an endless source of inspiration to me, I
like connecting the two. The challenge for me is to fit the female
figure naturally into the scene. The shoots are usually quite
physically demanding as they might require climbing, dealing with
harsh conditions of mountains, cold weather, sharp rocks, burning hot
sun or muddy swamps. It’s not easy to find the right model who can
endure the level of discomfort."
"I love traveling, I travel both for work and fun and always
bring a camera. I am based in Bali which is a beautiful place to
live and work. Indonesia is amazingly beautiful and probably
the most diverse countries in the world. There are so many different
islands, landscapes and cultures. I had a really great time shooting in
Scotland, it is such a photogenic country with challenging weather.
Just few weeks ago I got back from an awesome trip to Madagascar. It
has been one of the best trips of my life and I am already planning
to go back there soon. There
are many places I would like still like to shoot; Iceland, Socotra Island in Yemen, The Himalayas.. The world is huge and amazing!"
"Inspiration
can come from many places. I find great inspiration in nature and
different landscapes, countries and cultures I’ve visited. In the era of
the internet, it is easy to find references and inspiration. I have realized
it’s worth putting your energy into long term projects and not to
compromise your artistic vision in exchange for faster results. Less is
more."
"One of my series is called “Tales of Fire”. It’s my ongoing personal
project and I do the concept, styling and all production by myself.
Fire is the main light source
in the images and I am having great fun experimenting with props and
fire tricks. The fire is real, no photoshop. I always do a lot of
trials and rehearsals to ensure safety for models and everyone
involved."
