Vaclav Bacovsky in his professional live combines all of his great passions: photography, traveling, sports, and international affairs. Thanks to his work for the German Friedriech Naumann Stiftung foundation, where he works as a project manager, Vaclav was able to travel through much of Europe. He also works as a lecturer at the Charles University and a tennis coach. He started to pursue photography in 2008, not after the purchase of his first DSLR camera, but after attending a photogram workshop. Painting with light directly on a light-sensitive surface and the construction of his first analog camera was an experience that opened a completely new world to him. Since then, Vaclav became fully engrossed in photography, especially with landscape photography. His passion brought him to many countries throughout five continents. Professionally, Vaclav pursues product and event photography and writing travel guides for photographers. In his free time, besides landscape photography, he likes macro and abstract art and infrared architectural photography. Vaclav and his sister, Eliska Pivrncova, also write a blog about photography as a means of expression – www.krasnesvetlo.cz.
