• About the Photographer

Václav Špillar

Václav Špillar has always enjoyed nature and tried to capture its beauty through the lens of his camera. Even though his original profession is mechanical engineering, he spent most of his free time travelling and documenting with his camera the beautiful scenery surrounding him.

He is a born adventurer who travels with his wife and son. In the last 20 years they visited several continents where they explored the scenery, mostly remote areas not yet discovered by people, bringing back thousands of photographs taken during their trips.

10 years ago, he decided to use the abundant photographic material collected on their many trips abroad and share their interesting experiences through publishing and together with his wife started printing their own books. So far they published 10 pictorial travelogues from their trips to Asia, North America, Africa and Australia that feature some of the photographs taken on their trips.

• A Few Words about the Photographs

All photographs on display were taken with a standard 35 mm camera using slide film. No color filters were utilized. The photographs were made on a light sensitive silver emulsion paper using laser illumination. No digital manipulation or unnatural filtration was used in the creation of these photographs. The colors you see are the true colors present when the photo was taken and are the result of the natural light condition at that time.
