Photography

The author's artistic photographs are mainly in black and white, thanks to the sense for detail stands out and at the same time supports the viewer's imagination. Composition catches the eye at first glance and is one of the most important aspects of photography for Tomáš Jungvirt, his handwriting is thus easily distinguishable from other black and white and color photographs. Nude photographs of the female body are a challenge, as the motive of the female body appears throughout the history of art. Tomáš Jungvirt therefore focuses on the artistic beauty of the female body, he tries to see it from a different point of view - from a different angle, thereby distinguishing himself from classic consumer photography. For photography, he uses high-quality Leitz or Carl Zeiss analog lenses with manual focus, which imprint the characteristic pattern on the resulting photo, making Tomáš Jungvirt's photos easily recognizable.
