Martin Stranka is a young photographer living in Prague, Czech Republic. Stranka studied at Bank University in Prague and fell in love with photography about five years ago.
Entirely self-taught, Stranka uses a digital full-frame camera Canon 5D and Photoshop as a final touch for his ideas. He is influenced by the work of Robert and Shana Parke Harrison. “I am amazed by their unique way of how they can combine and show the connection between human and nature.”
“I thought I always wanted to express something like solitary or loneliness. But when I look back, I have to say I tend to express inner silence. We all live in rushed places and noisy environments and we cant stay in silence and talk to ourselves. It should be something like inner dialog. Connecting with nature.”
