A mirror image of a couple of Prague tourists in a hot summer day.

I´m a self-taugh photographer originally from the Pilsen region (West of the Czech Republic), now living in Dobrichovice near Prague. I have been involved in photography since childhood, first only with B&W and home-made photos, later with color and infrared pictures. I have been exhibiting publicly since 2013, I have realized 10 solo exhibitions in Czech Republic and my photographs have been shown at several joint international exhibitions (e.g. ACCI Gallery, Berkeley, California, 2020, Glasgow Gallery of Photography 2022 and 2024 or Prix de la Photographie, Paris 2022).
