Jiří Švestka
animal and wildlife photographer from the Czech Republic
I travel all over the Czech Republic, but also abroad for my photographs. I make use of my long-standing knowledge of the environment around me, but at the same time I also work with people who have some of the animals in their care. I am most interested in how to harmonize with wild nature.

WILDLIFE AND CONSERVATION PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY
In my photographs I try to capture both the details of animal beauty and to show animals in their natural environment. I am not just a photographer. I am also a birdwatcher and a member of the Czech Ornithological Society, which allows me to have a deeper understanding and respect for our feathered friends.
Through my photographs and videos, I try to introduce the general public not only to the animals themselves, but also to the wider context of their lives in nature and the impact of humans on their environment. To show how the coexistence of humans and wildlife can affect both.
