Photography by Alexandr Pospech

Mgr. Alexandr Pospech

professional photographer and biologist

 I was born in 1984 and grew up in Uherský Brod (Czech Republic) near the White Carpathians. I attended high school of Jan Amos Comenius in Uherský Brod. Now I'm a student of The Faculty of Sciences, University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice, Czech Republic. I did my bachelor's degree in Biology in the lab of Dr. Michal Žurovec in the Institute of Entomology, Czech Academy of Sciences. I have recently finished my master's degree in Experimental Biology in the lab of Molecular Genetics of Nematodes in the Institute of Parasitology ASCR.

Photography has been my hobby since I was aprox. 8 years old. My first camera was Practica with 50mm fixed focal lens. Since I was 18 I've started to spend most of my free time with photography. Nature - animals and plants - soon became major topic of my photos, but I take pictures of people too.

Now I am professional photographer mostly focused on macro, wildlife and documentary photography.

I believe, that photos of wildlife should always bring some message - message of vulnerability of our environment and necessity of protection of animals, plants and particularly their whole habitats.
