Radovan Stastny
Petr Borovec is a Czech photographer based in Ostrava. He was born in 1966 in former Czechoslovakia.
The first time he looked into the viewer of father’s TLR camera he was just a child. He spent long hours in the darkroom with him, learning how to process black and white films and to make darkroom prints.
Influenced
by the work of many famous Czech photographers, especially Josef Sudek,
he became increasingly interested in creative photography after
completing obligatory military service.
He had quit photography several times only to return to it after a while with humility. He picked up the camera again in 2016. And while trying to become a professional photographer, he found that creative freedom is the most important thing for him.
