Richard Vanek - Black and White Photography

My Black and White Photography Projects are set of photographs tide together to express common theme. Goal is to express certain feelings or create view on subject by putting images together. I believe that expressing opinions by series of photos is the best way to cover memories and feelings and possible trigger imagination of the viewer.
It usually take longer time to finished a project. Reason is that at beginning I have certain kind of view what I like to achieve and I am working on subject until I didn't fulfill my imagination. Projects are published here even when I am still working on them so it can happened that photographs are removed or new are added any time until I declare a project closed.

This project starts as one of my first attempt to move from documentary photography to more abstract one. To get little bit more control over final results. And being able to express myself and create image which doesn't necessary document real world, but which reflects more feelings. So following pictures are more my creation and my views.

This project was inspired by Caroline Schroeder. The photographer I have met while being member of photo academy year in Breda. She advice me to start working on a theme and take pictures with focus on it. Therefore I dedicate this project to her.

In summer of the year 1996 I joined photography week workshop organized by photo group in Poprad, Slovak Republic. There, under supervision of Andrej Ban, I worked day and night on documentary project of my choice. I went for attempt to document people on Poprad's railway station. This was great time and I would like to thank Andrej Ban for it!
