Leopard in Orange Grass (2020) Fotografie door Ondrej Prosicky

*1977, photographer, APF, QEP
Originally a geologist, journeys to active volcanoes and studies of remote national parks brought me to intensive photography of wild nature.

My aim is to record the behaviour of animals in their natural environment in an imaginative way. Finding a new angle of seeing the animal, is my longterm mission. I have visited most places of the continental Europe, south Atlantic, the Arctic, Africa, Asia and every year I visit Middle and South America to widen my collection of wildlife images. Apart from that, I strive to draw public attention to issues related to endangered species, support conservation areas and national parks.

My clients are publishing houses, publishers of magazines, advertising agencies or national parks authorities. Since 2006 I have been working closely with Canon and later with Sony equipment, they both support me on my missions. I publish my experiences on regular basis.

I have held more than 40 exhibitions of my work. Over 400 photographers have participated in my photographic workshops, which I organise regularly in the Czech Republic and in the tropics since 2006.

In May 2011, I was awarded the qualification QEP (Qualified European Wildlife Photographer) by Federation of European Photographers and in the same year FEP awarded me the European Landscape Golden Camera 2011 in Brussels.

I am a member of the Association of Professional Photographers of the Czech Republic since 2009.
