I recommend checking out his .

Co jste d臎lal od ukon膷en铆 studia? 
My idea is to spend a few months each yeartravelling, mostly to places that are changing rapidly and which might really defy expectations. More recently I spent time in Colombia, China,Burma and Cuba. I was in Tehran for the celebrations after the preliminary Nuclear Deal agreement was signed and my photos from Iran have been on CNN, the BBC and VICE. 

Pro膷 AAV艩?
My program at the University of Vienna was hopelessly overcrowded; the idea was to bore and frustrate people into leaving. In my first semester, I was in the middle of Austria’s student protests, it was an exciting way to start university but academically it was a waste of time. Plus I wanted to move back to Prague. AAU was the only option and it was extremely helpful with transferring credits from Vienna.

Vzpom铆nky na v谩拧 prvn铆 den v AAU?
I remember President Krautstengl sitting down next to me on a bench in the garden when I had just finished my English proficiency test. He lit a cigarette and asked me how it went. He was wearing a bow tie.

Nezapomenuteln茅 hodiny?
Eva Eckert’s fiery, uncompromising passion for languages. Jaroslava Gajdo拧ov谩’s eye-opening introduction to Visual Culture. Douglas Dix’ school of life; I really wish I could have fit more of his classes in somehow.

AAU in 3 words?
Diverse 鈥� Personal 鈥� Surprising

Studoval jste 啪urnalistiku a komunikaci, ale co v谩s vedle jin媒ch sm臎r暖 啪urnalistiky ovlivnilo v tom, 啪e jste se rozhodl v臎novat pr谩v臎 foto啪urnalistice?
Natalia Vasquez, in the first week of her photography class, said she expected us to carry a camera on us always. It seemed mad to me at the time plus I didn’t have a camera but this is how it started and I’m very grateful now.

Jak媒 v媒znam m谩 v dne拧n铆 dob臎 masov茅ho 拧铆艡en铆 informac铆 prost艡ednictv铆m internetu a soci谩ln铆ch m茅di铆 vizu谩ln铆 vypr谩v臎n铆 p艡铆b臎h暖?
Media consumption has become atomized and divided, people tend to find the stories that fit with their preconceptions and dismiss everyone who disagrees. Maybe what’s important is to find ways to tell stories beyond ever repeating patterns and cliches, and to find the empathy to reach people across the aisle. Instead our stories tend to match our preconceptions.

Jak茅 bylo t茅ma va拧铆 diplomov茅 pr谩ce na AAU?
The Mystification of the Cigarette. Initially I was interested in working out why people, myself included, buy something that says on its package that it will kill you and whether the warning labels on cigarette packages help. I learnt a lot about the history of advertising and how we came to smoke cigarettes. People tend to think we have smoked for thousand of years but really very few people had been smoking much before the Industrial Revolution. The rise of big tobacco is one of the big mistakes of the 20st centuries. As to the warning labels, at best they don’t work help much. They might help some people stop but in others, especially teenagers, they might trigger psychological reactance, thereby helping them start.

Co si mysl铆te o z谩kazu kou艡en铆 v restaurac铆ch/kav谩rn谩ch/barech, kter媒 by m臎l platit p艡铆拧t铆 m臎s铆c? Jak si mysl铆te, 啪e to ovlivn铆 Prahu?
Nakonec. Neust谩l茅 zvy拧ov谩n铆 cen cigaret je pro lidi s n铆zk媒mi p艡铆jmy t臎啪k茅. Varovn茅 n谩pisy nejsou skute膷n臎 煤膷inn茅. Na z谩kaz kou艡en铆 v hospod谩ch si budeme muset p谩r t媒dn暖 zvykat a pak to bude dobr茅 pro v拧echny. Ot谩zkou je, zda se bude skute膷n臎 prosazovat.

Jak谩 jsou va拧e obl铆ben谩 m铆sta, kdy啪 u啪 je tu jaro a Praha o啪ila?
I like to be close to the water: N谩plavka, Containall, the Letna beer garden.

Pov臎zte n谩m o sv媒ch projektech s Krymskou manufakturou
Krymsk谩 Manufaktura makes Czech maritime fashion. It aims to overcome the Czech Republic’s great flaw, the Absence of Ocean, conjuring up images of the Czechs’ great seafaring past, challenging advertising’s obsession with鈥� authenticity,鈥� the emptiest of words.

Loni na podzim jsme zah谩jili 膷innost zna膷ky n谩vratem b谩jn茅 ta拧ky Original Czech Sailor Bag. Nyn铆 p艡id谩v谩me n谩mo艡nick茅 膷epice, tri膷ka, boty atd. Pokud si je lid茅 koup铆, snad brzy, 膷铆m啪 se 膶esko st谩le v铆ce p艡ibli啪uje k mo艡i, budeme vyr谩b臎t 膷esk茅 pl谩啪ov茅 oble膷en铆. M谩me na to n臎kolik skv臎l媒ch n谩pad暖.

We ship for free worldwide and have a really nice, new聽website.

Z m铆st, kter谩 m谩te cestoval, which place surprised you the most?
Although everyone who’s been will tell you about it, nothing prepares you for Iranians’ overwhelming hospitality. The image we get of the country, its culture and way of life really tends to be very one-dimensional. If you want shake the foundations of your world view go to Iran.

What鈥檚 your next planned trip?
I think I’d like to spend more time in China. I’ve been to one relatively remote province and seeing the pace of change and development was incredible. Obviously China is really big and diverse, there is a lot more to see and the country’s rise is sort of the story of our time.

Co v谩s l谩k谩 do Prahy?
Praha m臎 uklid艌uje, 啪ivot nen铆 nezvl谩dnuteln臎 rychl媒.

Jak chcete z暖stat ve spojen铆 s AAU a dal拧铆mi absolventy AAU?
It’s been a few years since I graduated and I’ve really only been in touch with a few of students and two or three professors. It’s really great to see the school is making an effort to create more of an alumni community.
