I’m not really looking for interesting stories. I want the human presence to be a part of a larger abstract picture where it has no more importance than a random graffiti on the wall, a flying seagull or a trash bin. Photography is a visual haiku that catches a moment otherwise uninteresting and unimportant, but at the same time unrepeatable.
Jiri Dvorak was born and raised in former Czechoslovakia from where he promptly escaped as soon as it was possible, years before the wall collapsed. He ended up in Seattle, Washington. There he also started to be more serious about photography, shooting mostly black & white film and doing his own processing and printing. Since then, he's been shooting in many different countries, had a number of exhibitions and sold prints as well. Currently, he lives and works in London, UK.
