Red Bull Illume 2016

I was born in the Czech Republic in 1986 and became fascinated with photography at an early age when I found my dad’s old camera. Once I bought my first film for it there was no turning back! I used to skateboard a lot so it was only natural for me to start shooting the sport as well. During the first couple of years, almost all of my pictures were black and white. Things really progressed for me when I started studying advertising photography at Thomas Bata University. I was surrounded by photography there the whole day and there really was no escape. Gradually I discovered medium and large format cameras as well as shooting in the studio. During my studies I started working for local magazines Board and Dirtbiker and worked for them for more than five years. After school I started to shoot for different magazines and brands such as Maxim, Red Bull, Nikon and many more. Currently I am based in Prague where I have my own studio but work almost everywhere on the planet. I love shooting action sports, lifestyle and commercials as well. I love clean pictures, geometric compositions, hard light and concepts.
