No alt text provided for this image Antonin is a founder of the VII photo agency which is an international photo agency which is owned and controlled by only the members. It was launched at the Visa pour l'image Festival France in the town of Perpignan in September 2001. This was one of his own great achievements but eventually, he was suspended from the VII Photo Agency after sexual harassment allegations were made upon him despite he continued to deny those. More on his personal life, he was born in 1947 in a town called Litomerice in Czechoslovakia and eventually pursued his studies in photography in Netherlands where he got his BFA in Photography at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. Antonin Kratochvil specializes mostly in documenting the world's hot topic or showing how a refugee life is by depicting those realities in his pictures. He would provide his own personal experience towards those events together with those affected in it in order to provide a true aspect of the reality we are all living in but decide to ignore it sometimes. " He took pictures in the Mongolia's street children for the magazine published by the Museum of Natural History to a portrait session with David Bowie for Detour, from covering the war in Iraq for Fortune Magazine to shooting Deborah Harry for a national advertising campaign for the American Civil Liberties Union, Kratochvil's ability to see through and into his subjects and show immutable truth has made his pictures not facsimiles but uncensored visions." - From Antonin's website. During his years of being a professional photographer, he had a widespread of publications examining various topics and interests as from the description above taken from Antonin's website. This sum up a lot of his jobs and only shows that he is versatile to a lot of topics of interests and also he is keen to try new ways to target his audience. We can see from one side that he is willing to raise awareness upon topics that we often ignore or forget in our busy society. However, he also merges into the world of celebrities and fame by depicting portraits of those icons of the industry while at the same time giving his art more value in terms of audience. This can be seen as a strategy for himself in order to raise awareness for his other art as people will still keep up with his work either through celebrities or through his pictures about real world issues. Some of his pictures can be shown as below: Picture credits: Antonin Kratochvil This is a portrait of David Bowie taken in New York in 1997 by Kratochvil.

As photojournalistsgo, AntoninKratochvil has sunk his
teeth into his fair shareof upheaval and human
catastrophes whilst going about his documentationof the
time in which he lives. As peoplego, Kratochvil'sown
refugee life has been much in the way the same as what
he has renderedon film. Kratochvil'sunique styleof
photographyis the product of personalexperience,
intimateconditioningand not privileged voyeurism.
Over the years his fluid and unconventionalwork has
been sought by numerous publicationsstretchingacross
widelydiffering interests. From shootingMongolia's
street childrenfor the magazinepublishedby the Museum
of Natural Historyto a portraitsessionwith David Bowie
for Detour, from covering the war in Iraq for Fortune
Magazineto shootingDeborahHarryfor a national
advertising campaignfor the AmericanCivil Liberties
Union, Kratochvil'sabilityto see throughand into his
subjectsand show immutabletruth has made his pictures
not facsimilesbut uncensoredvisions.
And yet, what set his kind apart from the many is his
consistencyand struggleto carryon. For Kratochvil this
fact comes in the form of his numerous awards, grants
and honorablementionsdating back to 1975. The latestof

fractious relationshipbetween Americancivil liberties and
the newly formed Homeland Securitysince the World

In addition, Kratochvil'sfifth book Vanishing was
presentedin April 2005 and marks another significant
milestonefor the craft to which he belongs. Vanishing
represents a collectionof naturaland human phenomena

innovativeis the twenty years it has takento produce,
making it not only historicalfrom the onset, but a labor of
love and a commitment to one man's conscience.
