Premium/ Moments of Silence
The idea to start documenting Czech cemeteries, especially the old ones (sometimes disappearing) with historical tombstones, has been growing in me for a long time. The last impulse was the fact that one old cemetery where my friend and I used to go as teenagers to meditate and discuss (and…
Artificial Paradise
The oldest vivid photography memory I can recall – is a shadowplay photo I took in Switzerland with my dad’s analog Canon Rebel. The guillotine shutter sound really hit me. I then first started photographing our skateboarding days in Aalter, Belgium – with a portable webcam, that could save up…

Shooting basketball on a budget
I love basketball! Ever since I was a child and I used to set my alarm clock at two o’clock or 3 o’clock in the night, so I could get up and watch NBA games only to leave at 7 to school, after a long, white night, the game always stood with me. So you can imagine the joy I had when the first sports event that I photographed was…
