Capturing Simple Natural Beauty
My Vision and Style
Photography has captivated me since I was a child. Life is a series of unique moments - the changing colors of clouds, the flight of a bird, a fleeting smile, the movement of a hand, wind in the hair... The opportunity to capture and freeze a unique memory, a fleeting feeling, fascinated me from a young age.
I favour stylistic simplicity and natural light.
I capture portraits intuitively and prefer to work without props and poses. When working with clients, I draw inspiration from their unique personalities. I am convinced that the best shots often come to life when people stop noticing the camera and open themselves up.
I am a straightforward person, finding true beauty in sincerity and simplicity. Having spent a lot of time working with traditional black and white materials, I often automatically convert images to black and white in my mind.
A Few Words About Me
At the age of 12, my grandfather gave me my first camera (Zenit), and I never took it off. For several years, I couldn't be pulled out of the darkroom (our family bathroom), where I developed and enlarged my first photos. I still love analogue photography. Only after successfully completing my photography studies (Orange Factory) in 2012 did I start working digitally.
I originally studied at the Prague Dance Conservatory and worked as a classical dancer at the National Theatre for 14 years, where I later also worked as a photographer. After the birth of my children, I ended my ballet career and fully devoted myself to photography.
For a documentary series from behind the scenes of the theater, I received two awards in the international FEP FETA Award Photokina 2014 competition and IPC/Sophie Smoliar Scholarship in Cologne, Germany.
Most of the photographs on these pages were taken with a Canon 5D Mark III. Currently, I shoot with a Nikon Z6, Yashica Mat 124G, and Canon FT Ql.
