I generally quite like the poetry that can be found in most dance perofmaces of “ZUŠ” (primary art schools) and a ZUŠ I. Krejciho Olomouc is no exception in this regard. Knowing that these aspiring artists have started to learn how to use their talents only recently makes their performance even a greater success. Many thanks…
Prostejovska zlata jehla 2017 – you can see a very narrow selection of the fashion show here and the whole collections on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pg/kalop.eu/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1769923336358183 It’s been my eighth year at the fashion show and I’d like to bring to mind some photos from the years 2016 – 2010. You can find them below.…
Air and water – two of the classical elements that are so essential for synchronized swimming. Two elements and two photographic approaches: Although I felt obliged to shoot unbiased and almost forensic photos I was tempted to shoot deeply personal photos at the same time at Summer Cup in Olomouc, 2017. Many thanks to Synchro SKUP Olomouc for…
A selection from Czech Open Championship in Synchronized Swimming, Olomouc, 2017. Many thanks to Linda Fleskova for inviting me. : ) Mr. Tuma took some photos on Saturday and you can find them here: http://taxant.rajce.idnes.cz/ Reportage by Czech TV: http://www.ceskatelevize.cz/porady/10103510226-sport-v-regionech/417232400030018-m-cr-v-synchronizovanem-plavani-olomouc/
What an afternoon with Peter, Adelaide and lots of powder! I had refused such photo-shoots several times in the past, but I agreed this time. Since we couldn’t use the location I had intended, we went for plan B: a small stage in a club between opening hours. Although it was a great venue, it…
A picture is worth a thousand words, so look for yourself how synchronized swimmers amazed me at Czech national Championship in Synchronized Swimming for age groups 13,14,15 and seniors in Brno, on 22 and 23 of April 2017. Although I was an authorized photographer, I wasn’t obliged to take a full photographic reportage at the…
I quite enjoyed the afternoon shoot with Veronika Klimesova a former principal dancer to Akcent Ostrava and MUA Nikol Kastylova in and old gymnasium. We did two looks and I want to share with you two couples of photos from two sub-sets from the second look. I think that you may find interesting that we shot it…
Radost & Impuls Dance Company celebrated their thirty-fifth anniversary with a nicely composed evening of dance and theatrical performances. I am always amazed by the creativity of the choreographers and by the talent of the young dancers. The show was held in a local cinema they had converted into a theatre for the day. You can probably imagine…
I spent most of the last Saturday at Podhostýnský pohár in Bystřice pod Hostýnem. It was my sixth time shooting there and I really enjoyed being back to this international majorette competition. It was so nice meeting my old friends there (Dear Mrs. Kroupova, the goulash was great and thank you Monika for treating me to…
We had a lot of fun during a quick paced photo-shoot with Radost & Impuls dance company last Sunday. There had been a ball or some other function in the venue the previous night and the hall and the stair case weren’t prepared exactly to our liking. Especially the decoration which was still in place…
It was a great pleasure to shoot with Miss Bara Nekudova, who is a great singer, by the way. We used an optical doublet lens with a manual focus which proved a bit challenging at times. Nevertheless I think it conveys reality better than a modern, sharp lens. A blur – some amount of uncertainty is always…
