Prague-based photographer Martin Stranka left business school after a personal loss led him to therapeutic image-making. Self-taught, he creates dreamlike tableaux that balance aesthetic beauty with dramatic tension, inviting viewers to complete the narrative. Winner of over 80 international awards, including IPA Special Photographer of the Year 2022, his work has been exhibited worldwide – from Christie’s, London, to shows in Tokyo and Miami – earning acclaim for its evocative and compelling storytelling.
