Jitka Hanzlova

Jitka Hanzlova, a Czech-born photographer whos intentions on photography are the same as mine. She 'examines the individual and their surroundings' and also the landscape they live in. In her body of work in "female" she had travelled around europe, USA and north africa. She omits the concept of distance by bringing the lens closer to her subjects. Her work is spontaneous in terms of how she photographs these females, I say that because she takes these portraits on the street there and then. In total in this series she's managed to produce 53 portraits, but this work also reminds me of the works of Rasmus Vasli. Where he randomly speaks to people, sometimes not all the time and ask them if he could take their photograph. He'd then ask the subject if he could have their email, in order for him to send the work to them. And still ask if they if its ok if they can be in his body of work in which he's attempting to produce.
