Publications

I believe that photographs belong on paper. Together with words. That’s why I am glad when I manage to create a book that really speaks to someone else.

Pr!Aha!

Book – in preparation (2025)

I have been compiling photographs and texts for this book for over ten years. There has been a lot of stopping and pausing and surprises along the way, allowing me to rediscover my hometown. I have teamed up with designer Jan Kolář and his creative studio Molekula to dream up the design of this publication.

An Exceptionally

Hidden Metropolis

Amazing Magazin – 2022

An article in the popular art and lifestyle magazine reveals what drew me to photography, my approach to taking photos, and even what my upcoming book Pr!Aha! will be about. This article details my fascination with the commonplace and our perception of it, as well as why the book will mainly focus on the hidden beauty of the seemingly uninteresting places that we pass by in Prague every day. 

Franny and the

Monsters of Prague

Book – 2018

I wrote this children’s book together with Rozálie Vondráčková. It’s about a cat named Franny who saves naughty children from monsters. The text is accompanied by fantastic illustrations by the one and only Sona Juríková, who even incorporated some of my photos of Prague.

Protectors

of Prague’s Streets

Book – 2008

Female artistic inspiration is everywhere you look on the streets of the country’s capital – from statues to paintings to the architecture. I joined forces with art historian Ladislav Zikmund to document at least a sliver of these historic gems and introduce them to a wider audience in this narrative book.
