I LOVE TO BE ALONE. I LOVE SPENDING TIME IN NATURE IN LONELY PLACES IN THE COMPANY OF WILD ANIMALS. I LOVE TO CAPTURE FOR YOU WHAT I SEE AND EXPERIENCE ON MY TRAVELS AND IT IS MY PRIVILEGE TO BRING YOU THESE EXPERIENCES THROUGH MY PHOTOGRAPHS.
Welcome to my About Me page! I am Jiří Švestka, an independent photographer and wildlife explorer. My story began in the picturesque surroundings of the East Bohemian countryside, where I have been closely connected to nature since childhood. Thus was born my love for nature and animals, which led me to the forestry school in Trutnov. My hobby was military history, where I worked for 11 years at various levels. Eventually I became a photographer of military-historical events.
My journey as a nature photographer began in 2019 when I discovered my passion for photographing the living Czech nature, especially birds and animals living in human care. My goal is not only to document the beauty and diversity of nature, but also to help people better understand our world and all its inhabitants. In my photographs I try to capture both the details of animal beauty and to show animals in their natural habitat in a comprehensive way. 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.
My fascination with the colours, textures and uniqueness of our nature has given me the courage to embark on a journey full of unknowns and surprises. My photographs are not just ordinary snapshots - they are stories I tell through my subjects captured in photography. My work reflects a deep respect and admiration for nature.
Then why choose me? Because my work is the result of passion, dedication and a desire for knowledge. And it is this passion and desire that is reflected in every single image I create.So whether you are looking for unique photography for your interior, need an expert photographer for your project or just want to observe and enjoy the beauty of nature, you have come to the right place! I am here for you and look forward to a journey together discovering and documenting the beauty of our natural world.
