About Denisa

Hi, my name is Denisa and I am an artist, photographer, filmmaker and wanderer with an adventurous soul; born in Czech Republic, raised in the small village of Šilheřovice, now based in Samoa, and currently on my twenty-seventh lap around the sun.
   I feel like photography has been with me my whole life. It has been my passion ever since I touched my first analog camera and I remember the smell of the dark room and the bright light hitting my eyes, every time I got out, after hours of working and creating under the red light.
   I have developed a love for documentary photography as I’ve always been fascinated and inspired by people around me, their lives and their unique stories. Whether I am living in a village and working on plantation in the South Pacific, sleeping and travelling on a train in India, volunteering on organic farms in Oceania, baking a bread underground in Iceland, or just living in my home village, there is always something that inspires me to tell a story, to create, to press a trigger.
