Bio
I'm a Prague-based cinematographer with a master's degree from the Film Academy of Miroslav Ondříček in Písek, with further studies at Edge Hill University in the UK. I started as a camera assistant and worked my way up — focus puller, camera operator, DOP. That path taught me the craft from the ground up, and it still shapes how I work today.
Over 17 years I've shot everything from TV campaigns with millions of viewers to small-budget films with tight-knit crews. The format changes; the job doesn't. It's always about the story — finding the frame, the light and the rhythm that make an audience feel something. I enjoy close collaboration with directors, careful pre-production, and the kind of on-set improvisation that only comes when you know the rules well enough to break them.
In recent years I've been exploring what generative AI means for filmmaking — not as a shortcut, but as a new creative territory. I work with tools like Higgsfield, Runway, Kling and ElevenLabs, and I'm currently developing Korkontoi, a serialized AI short film series inspired by Celtic Iron Age history and the mythology of the Krkonoše mountains. Where the technology goes next, I want to be there with a filmmaker's eye.
What hasn't changed: I care about precision, atmosphere, and stories worth telling. The ambition that drives me is narrative film — features, series, festival titles. I'm open to new challenges and connections. Let's meet on set — or over coffee.
"A cinematographer is a visual psychiatrist — moving an audience through a movie... making them think the way you want them to think, painting pictures in the dark." — Gordon Willis, ASC
