About

Born in Frydek-Mistek in what used to be Czechoslovakia. Last ten years or so travelling the world and studying photography (BA, MA at the moment) in London. My project Ostrava, exploring the remnants of the communist past mixed up with the new democratic principles and my own memories of my homeland, won a Nikon Discovery Awards in 2007 and was exhibited in Photographers Gallery London. I have used funds from Nikon to complete a project on Kazakhstan's dealing with its past, presence and "bright" future. The project will be available in a book form soon. The proposal for the book already won a honorable mention and third place in public vote at PX3 Competition in Paris recently. Currently working on environmental based projects around where I stay, in London and partly around the UK with a hope to inspire myself and the others. I do not want to be only part of the problem, but rather a part of the solution:-)
