Why Prague

11 November 2026  ·  Zuzana Breznanikova

I am Slovak, and Prague has always felt like the closest great city to home. From 2027 it is where I will be photographing: fashion and portrait photography in the Czech capital, and from there across Europe.

A city made for portraits

Prague has layers that suit environmental portraiture: stone bridges, baroque facades, narrow lanes, courtyards, the castle above the river, and a soft northern light that changes by the hour. Almost every corner of the historic centre works as a backdrop, and most of it is within a short walk.

A base for Europe

Berlin, Vienna and Budapest are a train ride away. I want to be commissioned for shoots across Europe, not only in one city, and Prague is a good place to work from.

A body of work that belongs to the place

I have no Prague portfolio yet, and that is the point. I would rather build it properly: portraits of people in the places that make Prague what it is. If you want to be part of the first of it, the waiting list is open.
