In today’s video, Libor Vaicenbacher journeys into the Lusatian Mountains of Czechia in search of the chamois – small goat-antelopes native to Europe and Western Asia. Along the way, he contends with frigid temperatures and damaged equipment, while the chamois are nowhere to be found.
Yesterday, I listened to a very inspiring interview with the wonderful photographer Jan Jirkovský. Although I would classify him as a documentary photographer, he does not consider himself to be one. His reasoning was that documentary photographers usually focus on sad and serious topics, whereas he wants his photographs of people to capture the joy of life. Even in places such as psychiatric hospitals or prisons.
