ABOUT ME

I am a commercial photographer based in San Francisco.

I love photo compositing and turning ideas and concepts into images.

My work, both personal and commercial, often includes photo

manipulation, CGI, illustration and other forms of imaging trickery.

 

BIO

I was born in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Photography was always

exciting to me but I did not take it seriously until I moved to the

United States. My early interests were eclectic and unfocused.

I was passionate about film, studied electrical engineering and later

switched to special education. My early work experience was just

as random, working as an industrial designer and later as a post

office worker. In 1989 I arrived in Boston and bought my first

camera. After a few rolls of film I knew I was hooked. I took

photography classes at the Boston Museum School until a merit

scholarship brought me to the San Francisco Art Institute.

After college I freelanced as a designer, worked as a retoucher

for advertising clients and exhibited my work in a few galleries.
