Hacking Photography - one Picture at a time
Czech photographer Martin Stranka has been awarded the first prize at the International Photography Awards 2022 with his series titled “Beautiful Accidents“. The series is certainly beautiful, however, it is no accident that Martin won the award. Make no mistake, this is the culmination of years of hard work.
DIYP was lucky enough to chat with Martin and find out more about his work and how he feels about being the first Czech photographer to be recognized by this prestigious award.
“I Bloom For You” is another one of the artworks in series “I Found The Silence”. The idea was created in June 2018, followed by 3 months of planning. The main inspiration was to escape beyond the limits of everyday existence, somewhere where a man can be himself. Escape to a place, where we meet ourselves in the purest way possible.
On the photograph, as well as the whole series, appear elements of nature. On this particular artwork, it is the flowing river of flowers as the symbolism of freedom. Our own liberation, that should never be taken from us. In times the society we are living in, is constantly trying to hold us back, criticize and limit us. We are judging individuals by our own tied up rules.
