Alžběta Jungrová

Alzbeta decided to study photography during her childhood. She graduated at the Graphic design high school in Hellichova street in Prague 1 and launched her career as photographer for Czech dailies MF DNES, Hospodarske noviny and Lidove noviny. During 2000 – 2002 she lived and photographed in USA and UK. 

 

Alzbeta has chosen documentary and reportage photography as main topic of her next career as she is interested in human lives and destinies. That´s why she travelled to divers countries and corners of the globe. She was wading through biggest land-fill in Kampuchea and oil polluted mud in Chittagong wreck cemetery, in Bangladesh, took photos of armed kids in Gaza strip, drug dealers in Cyber pass on Afghan – Pakistani border, or spend days with Nukak tribe in Columbian jungle.

She was awarded at the Czech Press Photo for photos of children working in Peshawar brickworks and for series of Burma refugee camp in Bangladesh by the UN High commissioner for refugees. 

 

Recently Alzbeta works as freelance photographer for respected Czech agency 4D Photo, mainly on fashion, advertisement, portraits and documentary projects. She is active in many humanitarian projects.

   

Alzbeta´s photographs can be labelled as snapshot portraits with socio-cultural crossover and deep emotional inner evidence. Photographs carry clear author´s signature characterized by misaligned composition and stylization of the picture through reflecting materials as textile, glass, plastic, metal or mirrors. With her photos she hints a lot, at the same time she lets many thoughts open for interpretation, challenging our imagination and allures various speculations.

She is a founding member of the group 400ASA.
