Be it reportage, interior or architectural photography, Vojta sails through them all...
Upon his homecoming to Prague from his London stay in 2008, Vojta decided to pursue a full-time career in photography and has been freelancing ever since.
The way of photography is not his daily bread and butter, but also a pastime and a consuming passion that keeps driving him ever forward. His photography spans many forms, and he is happy to share his experience with his students or as a jury member of various photography contests.
Favourite Sceneries
Pictures I treasure most
South Moravia
Yellow waves
The fields were full of blooming rapeseed, which I am not a big fan of. But this time it worked well for me. Suddenly, the tree stand, with its windows lit by the evening sun, looked like a lighthouse fighting its way against the sea of yellow waves.
Czech Republic
Winter forest light
I decided to use the off-camera flash to create the mystic fairy-tale-like atmosphere. This, together with the almost monochrome feeling of the winter forest, makes it a very strong and memorable photograph.
Tuscany
Cypress grove
It always makes me feel good when I am able to create a decent photograph in bad weather conditions - when other people are hiding or running home. And so it was with this shot - I had this well known location all to myself. Everyone gone, just me in the right place at the right time.
Tuscany
Cypress trees road
I have to say that the early wake up calls are not exactly the favourite part of the whole landscape photography process for me. But when I am already on location, I quickly forget it all. And this, in the end, turned out to be a very enjoyable morning.
Prague
Charles Bridge
This was the once-in-a-lifetime autumn morning I had in Prague. Everything went according to the plan or even better - the fog had ideal density and the sun rose in the best direction I could have ever wished for.
